Notes and Cautions
The following explains proper use of batteries and how to prolong
their life. Incorrect use of batteries can cause shorter battery life, as
well as leakage, excessive heat, fire or explosion.
*
When shipped, the battery is not fully charged. Always charge the
battery before using it.
*
When carrying the battery, install it in a digital camera or keep it
in the soft case.

Battery Features
• The battery gradually loses its charge even when not used. Use
a battery that has been charged recently (in the last day or two)
to take pictures.
• To maximize the life of the battery, turn the camera off as quickly
as possible when it is not being used.
• The number of available frames will be lower in cold locations or
at low temperatures. Take along a spare fully charged battery.
You can also increase the amount of power produced by putting
the battery 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 battery
directly against the pad. The camera may not operate if you use
a depleted battery in cold conditions.
Z
Charging the Battery
• You can charge the battery using the battery charger (included).
• The battery can be charged at ambient temperatures
between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). Refer to the
OWNER’S MANUAL for the time of charging battery.
• You should charge the battery at an ambient temperature
b10°C and +35°C (+50°F and +95°F). If you
charge the battery at a temperature outside this range,
charging takes longer because the performance of the
battery is impaired.
• You cannot charge the battery at temperatures of 0°C
(+32°F) or below.
• The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery does not need to be fully
discharged or exhausted flat before being charged.
• The battery may feel warm after it has been charged or
immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal.
• Do not recharge a fully charged battery.
Using a flash too close to a person’s eyes may
temporarily affect the eyesight.
Take particular care when photographing infants and young
children.
When an xD-Picture Card is removed, the card could
come out of the slot too quickly. Use your finger to hold
it and gently release the card.
Request regular internal testing and cleaning for your
camera.
Build-up of dust in your camera can cause a fire or electric shock.
• Contact your FUJIFILM dealer to request internal cleaning
every 2 years.
• Please note this is not a free of charge service.
