For Your Safety
• Do not mix old and new batteries, bat-
teries with different charge levels, or
batteries of different types.
• If the camera will not be used for an
extended period, remove the batteries.
Note that the camera clock will be reset.
• The batteries may be warm to the touch
immediately after use. Turn the camera
off and allow the batteries to cool be-
fore handling.
• Battery capacity tends to decrease at
low temperatures. Keep spare batter-
ies in a pocket or other warm place and
exchange as necessary. Cold batteries
may recover some of their charge when
warmed.
• Fingerprints and other stains on the
battery terminals can impair battery
performance. Thoroughly clean the
terminals with a soft, dry cloth before
inserting them in the camera.
If the batteries leak, clean the bat-
tery compartment thoroughly be-
fore inserting new batteries.
If fluid from the battery comes
into contact with skin or clothing,
flush the affected area with water.
If fluid enters your eyes, immediately
flush the affected area with water and
seek medical attention.
Do not rub your
eyes.
Failure to observe this precaution
could result in permanent visual impair-
ment
.

Ni-MH Batteries
The capacity of Ni-MH batteries may be
temporarily reduced when new, after
long periods of disuse, or if they are re-
peatedly recharged before being fully
discharged. This is normal and does not
indicate a malfunction. Capacity can be
increased by repeatedly discharging the
batteries using the discharge option in
the camera setup menu and recharg-
ing them using a battery charger (sold
separately).
Q
CAUTION
: Do not use the discharge op-
tion with alkaline batteries.
The camera draws a small amount of
current even when off. Ni-MH batteries
that have been left in the camera for an
extended period may be drawn down
to the point that they no longer hold a
charge. Battery performance may also
drop if the batteries are run down in
a device such as a flashlight. Use the
discharge option in the camera setup
menu to discharge Ni-MH batteries. Bat-
teries that no longer hold a charge even
after repeatedly being discharged and
recharged have reached the end of their
service life and must be replaced.
Ni-MH batteries can be recharged in a
battery charger (sold separately). Bat-
teries may become warm to the touch
after charging. Refer to the instructions
provided with the charger for more infor-
mation. Use the charger with compatible
batteries only.
Ni-MH batteries gradually lose their
charge when not in use.

Disposal
Dispose of used batteries in accord with
local regulations.
AC Power Adapters (Available Separately)
AC Power Adapters (Available Separately)
This section applies to all camera models
.
Use only FUJIFILM AC power adapters
designated for use with this camera. Oth-
er adapters could damage the camera.
• The AC power adapter is for indoor use
only.
• Be sure the DC plug is securely con-
nected to the camera.
• Turn the camera off before disconnect-
ing 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 hu-
midity.
• Do not subject to strong physical
shocks.
• The adapter may hum or become hot
to the touch during use. This is normal.
• If the adapter causes radio interfer-
ence, reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
