h The battery and battery charger themselves will
become warm due to the power stored inside them.
This is normal and does not indicate a fault.
Wherever possible, use the battery charger in a well-
ventilated location.

other than rechargeable battery NP-40N/NP-40.
h The battery charger could cause interference if
placed close to a radio during charging. In this
event, move the radio and charger further apart.
h
Do not leave the battery charger in the following
types of locations:
i Extremely humidity or high temperatures, such as
close to a heating appliance or in direct sunlight
i
Places with strong vibration
i In very dusty places
h The battery charger accepts input voltages of 100-
240 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz and can be used all over
the world. However, the shape of the plug and
socket-outlet depends on the country of use.
Consult your travel agent for details.

Notes on Using the Battery Charger
Using Your Camera Correctly
e Read this information and the “Safety Notes” (
➡
P.116), to make sure you use your camera
correctly.
■
Places to Avoid
Do not store or use the camera in the following types
of locations:
h In the rain or in very humid, dirty or dusty places
h
In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme
temperature rises, such as in a closed car in
summer
h Extremely cold places
h
Places with strong vibration
h Places with smoke or steam
h Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as
near motors, transformers or magnets)
h
In contact with chemicals such as pesticides
h Next to rubber or vinyl products
■
Damaged by Water or Sand
FinePix F470 can be damaged on the inside and
outside by water and sand. When you are at the
beach or close to water, make sure that the camera is
not damaged by water or sand. Take care not to place
the camera on a wet surface.
■
Damaged by Condensation
If the camera is carried from a cold location into a
warm place, water droplets (condensation) may form
on the inside of the camera or on the lens. When this
occurs, turn the camera off and wait an hour before
using the camera. Condensation may also form on the
xD-Picture card . In this event, remove the xD-Picture
card and wait a short time.
■
When the Camera is Not Used or is
stored Periods of Time
If you do not intend to use the camera for a long
period of time, remove the battery and the
xD-Picture
card .
■
Cleaning Your Camera
h Use a blower brush to remove any dust on the lens
or LCD monitor, and then gently wipe the camera
with a soft, dry cloth. If any soil remains, apply a
small amount of lens cleaning liquid to a piece of
FUJIFILM lens cleaning paper and wipe gently.
h
Do not scratch hard objects against the lens or LCD
monitor.
h Clean the body of the camera with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use volatile substances or cleaning products
these items can cause damage.
■
Using the Camera When Traveling
When traveling overseas, do not place your camera in
the check-in baggage. Baggage can be subjected to
violent shocks, and the camera may be damaged
inside or outside.
Notes on the Power Supply
This camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion
Battery NP-40N. Note the points below when using the
rechargeable battery. Take particular care to read the
Safety Notes to make sure that you use the battery
correctly.
✽
When shipped, the NP-40N
is not fully charged. Always
charge the NP-40N before
using it.
h When carrying the NP-40N,
install it in a digital camera or keep it in the soft
case.
h When storing the NP-40N, place it inside the special
soft case provided.
■
Battery Features
h The NP-40N gradually loses its charge even when
not used. Charge a NP-40N just before taking
pictures (in the last day or two).
h
To maximize the life of the NP-40N, turn the camera
off as quickly as possible when it is not being used.
h The number of available frames will be lower in cold
locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare
fully charged NP-40.
You can also increase the amount of power
produced by putting the NP-40N in your pocket or
another warm place to heat it and then loading it into
the camera just before you take a picture.
If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place
the NP-40N directly against the pad. The camera
may not operate if you use a depleted NP-40N in
cold conditions.
■
Charging the Battery
h
You can charge the battery using the battery
charger (included).
i The NP-40N can be charged at ambient
temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and
+104°F). At an ambient temperature of +23°C
(+73°F), it takes about 90 minutes to charge a fully
depleted NP-40N battery.
i You should charge the NP-40N at an ambient
temperature b10°C and +35°C (+50°F
and +95°F). If you charge the NP-40N at a
temperature outside this range, charging takes
longer because the performance of the NP-40N is
impaired.
i
You cannot charge the NP-40N at temperatures of
0°C (+32°F) or below.
h The NP-40N does not need to be fully discharged or
exhausted flat before being charged.
h
The NP-40N may feel warm after it has been
charged or immediately after being used. This is
perfectly normal.
h
Do not recharge a fully charged NP-40N.

Battery Life
At normal temperatures, the NP-40N can be used at
least 300 times.
If the time for which the NP-40N provides power
shortens markedly, this indicates that the NP-40N has
reached the end of its effective life. If this happens,
purchase NP-40 and replace it.
The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery NP-40N is both
compact and capable of storing large quantities of
power. However, if it is stored for long periods while
charged, the performance of the battery can be
impaired.
h If the battery will not be used for some time, run the
battery out before storing it.
h If you do not intend to use the camera for a long
period of time, remove the battery from the camera.
h Place the battery pack inside the soft case and store
in a cool place.
✽
The battery should be stored in a dry location with
an ambient temperature b15°C and +25°C
(+59°F and +77°F).
✽
Do not leave the battery in hot or extremely cold
places.
■
Handling the Battery
To avoid injury or damage, observe the
following:
h Do not carry or store battery with metal objects such
as necklaces or hairpins.
h
Do not heat the battery or throw it into a fire.
h Do not attempt to take apart or change the battery.
h Do not recharge the battery with chargers other
those specified.
h
Dispose of used battery promptly.
To avoid damaging the battery or shortening its
life, observe the following:
h
Do not drop the battery or otherwise subject it to
strong impacts.
h Do not expose the battery to water.
To make sure that you obtain optimum battery
performance, observe the following:
h
Always keep the battery terminals clean.
h Do not store battery in warm or humid places.
Storing the battery for long periods in a hot location
can shorten the battery life.
If you use the battery for a long period, the camera
body and the battery itself will become warm. This
is normal. Use the AC power adapter supplied with
the camera if you are taking pictures or viewing
images for a long period of time.
