For Your Safety
The Battery and Power Supply
The following describes the proper
use of the battery and how to
prolong its life. Incorrect use can
shorten battery life or cause leakage,
overheating, fi re, or explosion.
The battery is not charged at ship-
ment. Charge the battery before
use. Keep the battery in its case
when not in use.
Notes on the Battery
The battery gradually loses its charge
when not in use. Charge the battery
one or two days before use.
Battery life can be extended by turn-
ing the camera off when not in use.
Battery capacity decreases at low tem-
peratures; a depleted battery may not
function at when cold. Keep a fully
charged spare battery in a warm place
and exchange as necessary, or keep
the battery in your pocket or other
warm place and insert it in the camera
only when shooting. Do not place the
battery in direct contact with hand
warmers or other heating devices.
Charging the Battery
Charge the battery in the supplied bat-
tery charger (pg. 4). Charging times
will increase at ambient temperatures
below +10 °C (+50 °F) or above +35 °C
(+95 °F). Do not attempt to charge the
battery at temperatures above 40 °C
(+104 °F); at temperatures below 0 °C
(+32 °F), the battery will not charge.
Do not attempt to recharge a fully
charged battery. The battery does
not however need to be fully dis-
charged before charging.
The battery may be warm to the
touch immediately after charging or
use. This is normal.
Battery Life
About 300 shots can be taken with
a fully-charged battery at room tem-
perature. A noticeable decrease in
the length of time the battery will
hold a charge indicates that it has
reached the end of its service life
and should be replaced.
Storage
Performance may be impaired if the
battery is left unused for extended
periods when fully charged. Run the
battery fl at before storing it.
If the camera will not be used for an
extended period, remove the bat-
tery and store it in a dry place with
an ambient temperature of from
+15 °C to +25 °C (+59 °F to +77 °F). Do
not store in locations exposed to ex-
tremes of temperature.
Cautions: Handling the Battery
• Do not transport or store with
metal objects such as necklaces or
hairpins.
• Do not expose to fl ame or heat.
• Do not disassemble or modify.
• Use with designated chargers only.
• Dispose of used batteries promptly.
• Do not drop or subject to strong
physical shocks.
• Do not expose to water.
• Keep the terminals clean.
• The battery and camera body may
become warm to the touch after
extended use. This is normal. Use
the AC adapter to power the cam-
era for extended periods.
AC Adapters (Available Separately)
Use only FUJIFILM AC adapters desig-
nated for use with this camera. Other
adapters could damage the camera.
• The AC adapter is for indoor use only.
• Be sure the DC plug is securely
connected to the camera.
• Turn the camera off before discon-
necting the adapter. Disconnect the
adapter by the plug, not the cable.
• Do not use with other devices.
• Do not disassemble.
• Do not expose to high heat and
humidity.
• Do not subject to strong physical
shocks.
• The AC adapter may hum or be-
come hot to the touch during use.
This is normal.
• If the AC adapter causes radio in-
terference, reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna.
Using the Camera
To ensure that images are recorded
correctly, do not subject the camera
to impact or physical shocks while
images are being recorded.
Electrical Interference
This camera may interfere with hos-
pital or aviation equipment. Consult
with hospital or airline staff before
using the camera in a hospital or on
an aircraft.
Liquid Crystal
In the event that the monitor is dam-
aged, care should be taken to avoid
contact with liquid crystal. Take the
urgent action indicated should any
of the following situations arise:
•
If liquid crystal comes in contact with
your skin
, clean the area with a cloth
and then wash thoroughly with
soap and running water.
•
If liquid crystal enters your eyes
, fl ush
the aff ected eye with clean water
for at least 15 minutes and then
seek medical assistance.
•
If liquid crystal is swallowed
, rinse
your mouth thoroughly with water.
Drink large quantities of water and
induce vomiting, then seek medi-
cal assistance.
Take Test Shots
Before taking photographs on impor-
tant occasions (such as at weddings
or before taking the camera on a trip),
take a test shot and view the result in
the monitor to ensure that the cam-
era is functioning normally. FUJIFILM
Corporation can not accept liability
for damages or lost profi ts incurred
as a result of product malfunction.
