For Your Safety
The Battery and Power Supply
Note: Check the type of battery used in
your camera and read the appropriate
sections.
The following describes the proper use of
batteries and how to prolong their life. Incor-
rect use can shorten battery life or cause leak-
age, overheating, fi re, or explosion.
Li-ion Batteries
Li-ion Batteries
Read this section if your camera uses a
rechargeable Li-ion battery.
The battery is not charged at shipment.
Charge the battery before use. Keep the bat-
tery 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 turning the
camera off when not in use.
Battery capacity decreases at low tempera-
tures; a depleted battery may not function at
when cold. Keep a fully charged spare bat-
tery in a warm place and exchange as nec-
essary, or keep the battery in your pocket or
other warm place and insert it in the camera
only when shooting. Do not place the bat-
tery in direct contact with hand warmers or
other heating devices.
Charging the Battery
Charge the battery in the supplied battery
charger. Charging times will increase at am-
bient 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 discharged before charging.
The battery may be warm to the touch imme-
diately after charging or use. This is normal.
Battery Life
At normal temperatures, the battery can be
recharged about 300 times. A noticeable de-
crease 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 re-
placed.
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 battery 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 extremes 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.
• 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.
AA Alkaline/Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries
AA Alkaline/Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries
Read this section if your camera uses AA
alkaline or rechargeable AA Ni-MH bat-
teries. Information on compatible battery
types may be found elsewhere in the camera
manual.
Cautions: Handling the Batteries
Do not expose to water, fl ame, or heat, or
store in warm or humid conditions.
• Do not transport or store with metal objects
such as necklaces or hairpins.
Do not disassemble or modify the batteries
or battery casing.
Do not subject to strong physical shocks.
• Do not use batteries that are leaking, de-
formed, or discolored.
Keep out of reach of infants and small chil-
dren.
Insert in the correct orientation.
vii
For Your Safety
Do not mix old and new batteries, batteries
with diff erent charge levels, or batteries of
diff erent types.
• If the camera will not be used for an extend-
ed 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 before
handling.
• Battery capacity tends to decrease at low
temperatures. Keep spare batteries 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 battery
compartment thoroughly before in-
serting new batteries.
If fl uid from the battery comes into
contact with skin or clothing, fl ush
the aff ected area with water. If  uid
enters your eyes, immediately  ush the
a ected area with water and seek
medical attention. Do not rub your eyes.
Failure to observe this precaution could
result in permanent visual impairment.
Ni-MH Batteries
The capacity of Ni-MH batteries may be
temporarily reduced when new, after long
periods of disuse, or if they are repeatedly
recharged before being fully discharged. This
is normal and does not indicate a malfunc-
tion. Capacity can be increased by repeatedly
discharging the batteries using the discharge
option in the camera setup menu and re-
charging them using a battery charger.
Q CAUTION: Do not use the discharge option
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 pe-
riod may be drawn down to the point that
they no longer hold a charge. Battery perfor-
mance may also drop if the batteries are run
down in a device such as a fl ashlight. Use the
discharge option in the camera setup menu
to discharge Ni-MH batteries. Batteries that
no longer hold a charge even after repeat-
edly being discharged and recharged have
reached the end of their service life and must
be replaced.
Ni-MH batteries can be recharged in a bat-
tery charger (sold separately). Batteries may
become warm to the touch after charging.
Refer to the instructions provided with the
charger for more information. Use the char-
ger 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.

www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/index.html. FUJIFILM shall not be held li-
able for damages resulting from errors in this manual.
Although the LCD monitor is manufactured using advanced high-precision technol-
ogy, small bright points and anomalous colors may appear, particularly in the vicinity
of text. This is normal for this type of LCD monitor and does not indicate a malfunc-
tion; images recorded with the camera are una ected.
Digital cameras may malfunction when exposed to strong radio interference (e.g.,
electric  elds, static electricity, or line noise).
Due to the type of lens used, some distortion may occur at the periphery of images.
This is normal.
