These specifications are subject to change without notice.

FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting
from errors in this Owner’s Manual.

✽ 

The LCD monitor on your digital camera is manufactured
using advanced high-precision technology. Even so,
small bright points and anomalous colors (particularly
around text) may appear on the monitor and viewfinder.
These are normal display characteristics and do not
indicate a fault with the monitor. This phenomenon will
not appear on the recorded image.

✽ 

The operation error may be caused in a digital camera
by the strong radio interference (i. e. electric fields,
static electricity, line noise, etc.).

✽ 

Due to the nature of the lens, the edges of photographed
images may appear distorted. This is normal and does
not indicate a fault.
