Explanation of Terms

A number denotes Exposure Value. The EV is determined by the brightness of the subject and sensitivity (speed)
of the film or CCD. The number is larger for bright subjects and smaller for dark subjects. As the brightness of the
subject changes, a digital camera maintains the amount of light hitting the CCD at a constant level by adjusting the
aperture and shutter speed.
When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles, the EV increases by 1. Likewise, when the light is halved, the
EV decreases by 1.

Frame rate (fps)

The frame rate refers to the number of images (frames) that are photographed or played back per second. For
example, when 10 frames are continuously photographed in a 1-second interval, the frame rate is expressed as 10
fps.
For reference, TV images are displayed at 30 fps (NTSC).

JPEG

Joint Photographic Experts Group
A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The higher the compression rate, the greater the loss
of quality in the decompressed (restored) image.

Motion JPEG

A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format that handles images and sound as a single file. Images in the file
are recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG can be played back by QuickTime 3.0 or later.

Smear

A phenomenon specific to CCDs whereby white streaks appear on the image when there is a very strong light
source, such as the sun or reflected sunlight, in the photography screen.

WAVE

A standard format used on Windows systems for saving audio data. WAVE files have the “.WAV” file extension and
the data can be saved in either compressed or uncompressed format. Uncompressed recording is used on this
camera.
WAVE files can be played back on a personal computer using the following software:
Windows: MediaPlayer
Macintosh: QuickTime Player

✽

QuickTime 3.0 or later

White Balance

Whatever the kind of the light, the human eye adapts to it so that a white object still looks white. On the other hand,
devices such as digital cameras see a white subject as white by first adjusting the color balance to suit the color of
the ambient light around the subject. This adjustment is called matching the white balance.

Exif Print Format is a newly revised digital camera file format that contains a variety of shooting information for
optimal printing.

Operating conditions

Temperature: 0°C to +40°C (+32°F to +104°F)
80% humidity or less (no condensation)

According to the CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) standard procedure
for measuring digital still camera battery consumption (extract):
When using a battery, use the battery supplied with the camera. The storage media
should be

xD-Picture Card

Pictures should be taken at a temperature of +23°C (+73°F), with the LCD monitor
turned on, the optical zoom moved from full wide-angle to full telephoto (or vice-versa)
and back again to its original position every 30 seconds, the flash used at full power
every second shot and the camera turned off and then on again once every 10 shots.

Note: As the number of available shots varies depending on the level of charge in battery,

the figures shown here for the number of available shots using battery is not
guaranteed. The number of available shots will also decline at low temperatures.

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. 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 images may appear distorted. This is normal.

The number of available frames, recording time or file size varies slightly depending on the subjects photographed. Note also
that the divergence between standard number of frames and the actual number of frames is greater for
