Inserting the Batteries

The camera takes two AA alkaline (LR6) batteries (supplied) , two lithium batteries (sold separately) or two

AA rechargeable Ni-MH batteries (sold separately). Insert the batteries in the camera as described below.

1 Open the battery-chamber cover.

1Note

Be sure the camera is off

before opening the battery-

chamber cover.

3 Cautions

Do not open the battery-chamber cover when

the camera is on. Failure to observe this pre-caution could result in damage to image les or

memory cards.

Do not use excessive force when handling the

battery-chamber cover.

2 Insert the batteries.Insert the batteries in the

orientation shown by the+ and marks inside

the battery chamber.

3 Close the battery-chamber cover.

3 Cautions Insert the batteries in the correct orientation.

Never use batteries with peel-

ing or damaged casing or mix

old and new batteries, batter-

ies with different charge levels,

or batteries of different types.

Failure to observe these precautions could re-

sult in the batteries leaking or overheating.

Never use manganese or Ni-Cd. Replace AA alkaline

batteries with batteries of the same make and

grade as those supplied with the camera.

If the battery-chamber cover can not be latched easily,

conrm the battery orientation rst. Do not use exces-

sive force to latch it.

FirstSteps

Inserting a Memory Card

Although the camera can store pictures in internal memory, SD memory cards (sold separately) can be

used to store additional pictures.

When no memory card is inserted,qappears in the monitor and internal memory is used for recording

and playback. Note that because camera malfunction could cause internal memory to become cor-rupted, the pictures in internal memory should periodically be transferred to a computer and saved on

the computer hard disk or on removable media such as CDs or DVDs. The pictures in internal memory

can also be copied to a memory card (see page 60). To prevent internal memory from becoming full,

be sure to delete pictures when they are no longer needed.

When a memory card is insertedas described below, the card will be used for recording and playback.

Compatible Memory CardsCompatible Memory CardsSanDisk SD and SDHC memory cards have been tested and approved for use in the camera. A complete

list of approved memory cards is available at http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/index.

html. Operation is not guaranteed with other cards. The camera can not be used with MultiMediaCard

(MMC) orxD-Picture cards.

3 Caution

Memory cards can be locked, making it impossible to format the card or to record or deleteimages. Before inserting a memory card, slide the write-protect switch to the unlocked posi-

tion.

Inserting a Memory CardInserting a Memory Card 1 Open the battery-chamber cover.

2 Insert the memory card.Holding the memory card in the orientationshown below, slide it all the way in.

Gold contacts

Be sure card is in cor-

rect orientation; do not

insert at an angle or

use force.

3 Close the battery-chamber cover.

Removing Memory Cards

After turning the camera off, press the card in and

then release it slowly. The card can now be removedby hand.

3 Cautions

The memory card may spring out if you remove

your nger immediately after pushing the card in.

Memory cards may be warm to the touch after be-

ing removed from the camera. This is normal and

does not indicate a malfunction.

FirstSteps


3 Cautions

Format memory cards before rst use or after using them in a computer or other device. For more information

on formatting memory cards, see page 69.

Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep out of reach of children. If a child swallows a memory card,seek medical assistance immediately.

Do not use miniSD or microSD adapters that expose the back of the card. Failure to observe

this precaution may cause damage or malfunction. Adapters that are larger or smaller than

the standard dimensions of an SD card may not eject normally; if the card does not eject,

take the camera to an authorized service representative. Do not forcibly remove the card.

Do not turn the camera off or remove the memory card while the memory card is being formatted or data are

being recorded to or deleted from the card. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card.

Do not affi x labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction. Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of memory card.

The data in internal memory may be erased or corrupted when the camera is repaired. Please note that the

repairer will be able to view pictures in internal memory.

Formatting a memory card or internal memory in the camera creates a folder in which pictures are stored. Do

not rename or delete this folder or use a computer or other device to edit, delete, or rename image les. Always

use the camera to delete pictures from memory cards and internal memory; before editing or renaming les,

copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.

cated by an icon in the monitor. Choose from the following options (some optionsare not available in all shooting modes; see another sheet):

BUsing the Self Timer

The camera offers a ten-second timer that allows photographers to appear in their own photographs,

and a two-second timer that can be used to avoid blur caused by the camera moving when the shutter

button is pressed. The self-timer is available in all shooting modes.

1 Set the timer.The current self-timer mode is displayed in the monitor. To choose a different setting, press theselector down (B). The selection changes each time the selector is pressed.

AUTO Choose fromZ(self-timer off),

S(10 s delay), orR(2 s delay)

2 Focus.Press the shutter button halfway to focus.

3 Caution

Stand behind the camera when using the shutter button. Standing in front

of the lens can interfere with focus and exposure.

24

The self-timer lamp on the front of the camera will blink immediately

before the picture is taken. If the two-second timer is selected, the

self-timer lamp will blink as the timer counts down.

Intelligent Face Detection

Because it ensures that the faces of portrait subjects will be in focus, Intelligent Face Detection (pg. 15) is recom-

mended when using the self-timer for group portraits or self-portraits. To use the self-timer with Intelligent Face

Detection, set the timer as described in Step 1 and then press the shutter button all the way down to start the

timer. The camera will detect faces while the timer is counting down and adjust focus and exposure immedi-

ately before the shutter is released. Be careful not to move until the picture has been recorded.

1NoteThe self-timer turns off automatically when the picture is taken, a different shooting mode is selected, playback

mode is selected, or the camera is turned off.

3 Cautions

Use only memory cards that have been formatted

in the camera and contain pictures taken with the

camera. If a memory card containing a large num-

ber of images is inserted, there may be a delay beforeFinePixViewer starts and FinePixViewer may be un-

able to import or save images. Use a memory card

reader to transfer pictures.

Make sure the indicator lamp is out before turning the

camera off or disconnecting the USB cable. Failure to

observe this precaution could result in loss of data or

damage to internal memory or the memory card.

Disconnect the camera before inserting or removing

memory cards.

In some cases, it may not be possible to access pic-

tures saved to a network server using FinePixViewer

in the same way as on a standalone computer.

The user bears all applicable fees charged by the

phone company or Internet service provider when

using services that require an Internet connection.

Disconnecting the Camera

After conrming that the indicator lamp is out, follow

the on-screen instructions to turn the camera off and

disconnect the USB cable.

Uninstalling FinePixViewer

Only uninstall FinePixViewer before reinstalling the

software or when it is no longer required. After quit-

ting FinePixViewer and disconnecting the camera,

drag the FinePixViewer folder from Applications

into the Trash and select Empty Trashin the Finder

menu (Macintosh), or open the control panel and usePrograms and Features (Windows Vista) or Add/Re-

move Programs (other versions of Windows) to un-

install FinePixViewer. Under Windows, one or more

tents carefully before clicking OK.
