Check that the camera is switched off. Plug the
AC power adapter connector into the DC IN 5V
socket on the camera and then plug the adapter
itself into the main power outlet.
The self timer lamp lights (blue) and battery
charging begins. When charging is completed,
the self-timer lamp switches off.
A fully discharged battery takes roughly 3 hours
to fully recharge (at an ambient temperature of
+21°C to +25°C (+70°F to +77°F)).
Use the AC power adapter to avoid losing power
at inconvenient times, such as when you are
downloading photographed images to your
computer. Using the AC power adapter also
allows you to take pictures and play back images
without worrying about depleting the battery.
hCompatible AC power adapters
AC-5VS/AC-5VHS/AC-5VH
!
Use only the FUJIFILM products listed above.
!
See P.94 for notes on using the AC power adapter.
!
Only connect or disconnect the AC power adapter when
the camera is switched off.
Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter while
the camera is switched on temporarily interrupts the
power supply to the camera, so that images or movies
being shot at the time are not recorded. Failing to switch
the camera off first can also result in damage to the
SmartMedia or malfunctions during PC connection.
!
Charging times increase at low temperatures.
!
If the self-timer lamp flashes during charging, a charging
error has occurred and the battery cannot be charged. If
this occurs, see P.100.
!
Switching the camera on during charging interrupts the
charging.
!
You can charge the battery more quickly by using the
BC-60 Battery Charger (sold separately) (P.89).
!
The shape of the plug and socket-outlet depends on the
country of use.
Using the AC Power Adapter
When you first switch the camera on, the date is
cleared. Press the MENU/OK button to set the
date and time.
Slide the POWER switch to turn the camera on and
off. When you switch the camera on, the viewfinder
lamp lights (green).
!
To set the date and time later, press the
BACK
button.
!
If you do not set the date and time, this confirmation
screen will appear each time you switch the camera on.
!
When you switch the camera on, the self timer lamp
lights for about 5 seconds.
!
If you load the battery while the cameras POWER
switch is set to ON, the viewfinder lamp/self timer lamp
lights briefly. This is normal and does not indicate a fault.
If the
q
/
T
mode is selected, the lens cover opens
and the lens slides out. Avoid pressing on the lens
so as not to damage precision components.
Obstructing the lens will cause a malfunction or fault
and the
ß
or
´
message
will appear. Take care also not to get fingerprints on
the camera lens as this will result in impaired image
quality in your shots.

Power Save Function
If the camera is not used in any way for approx. 30
seconds when the camera functions are enabled, this
function temporarily switches features such as the LCD
monitor off to reduce power consumption (P.80). If
the camera is then left unused for a further period (2
minutes or 5 minutes), the Power Save function
automatically switches the camera off. To switch the
camera back on, slide the Power switch to the side to
turn the camera off briefly and then turn it back on.
Checking the remaining battery charge
Switch the camera on and check that no battery
level warning (
Z, X or C) is displayed on
the LCD monitor. If no icon is displayed, there is
ample charge left in the battery.
i
Z Lit white:
The battery is approximately half charged.
i
X Lit red:
Battery charge low. Replace or recharge the
battery as it will run out shortly.

Take care to hold the camera so that your
fingers or the strap do not cover the lens, flash
or flash control sensor. If the lens, flash or flash
control sensor is obscured by your fingers or the
camera strap, you may not be able to obtain the
correct brightness (exposure) for your shot.
!
There may be some unevenness in the brightness at
the lower edge of the LCD monitor. This is normal
and does not indicate a fault. This does not affect
the photographed image.
!
Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty, clean the
lens as described on P.91.
!
If you use the flash in very dusty conditions or when
it is snowing, white dots may appear in the image
due to the flash reflecting off the dust particles or
snowflakes. Try taking the shot with the flash
switched off.
To zoom in on the subject, press a (PTELE).
To zoom out, press b ({WIDE). A zoom
bar appears on the LCD monitor when you
zoom in or out.

!
Zooming stops briefly when the camera switches
between optical zoom and digital zoom (P.30). Press
the same zoom button again to switch zoom modes.
Using the viewfinder or LCD monitor, frame your
shot so that the subject fills the entire AF (Auto
Focus) frame.
!
If your subject is not in the center of the picture, use
AF/AE lock to take the picture (P.27).
When you are using the viewfinder to take a
picture at a distance of 0.6 m to 1.5 m (2.0 ft. to
4.9 ft.), only the shaded area in the figure is
photographed.
!
To center the photographed area accurately, you
should use the LCD monitor to take the shot.
!
In some conditions it may be difficult to see your

If you press the shutter button down fully without
releasing it, the camera makes a clicking noise
and takes the picture. The camera then records
the photographed image.
!
You can adjust the volume of the camera operation
noises (bebeep and click) or switch them off
altogether in the SETUP menu (P.78, 79).
!
There is a slight delay between the shutter button
being pressed and the shot being taken. If necessary,
play back the shot to check the image.
!
If you press the shutter button down fully in one motion,
the shot is taken without the AF frame changing.
!
When you take a picture, the viewfinder lamp lights
orange (camera not ready) before switching back to
green to indicate that the camera is again ready for
shooting.
!
The viewfinder lamp flashes orange while the flash is
charging. If the LCD monitor is switched on, the
screen may go dark for a moment. This is normal
and does not indicate a fault.
!
See P.97-99 for information on the warning displays.
When you press the shutter button down halfway, the
camera emits a short double-beep and focuses on your
subject (the viewfinder lamp (green) changes from
blinking to steady). At that point, the AF frame on the
LCD monitor becomes smaller and the camera sets the
shutter speed and aperture.
!
If the camera does not emit a short double-beep and V
appears on the LCD monitor, the camera cannot focus.
!
When you press the shutter button down halfway, the image
on the screen freezes temporarily. However, this image is not

bright as well as dark conditions.
Red-Eye Effect
When you use the flash to photograph people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes appear red in
the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye. Use Red-Eye
Reduction flash to effectively minimize the likelihood of the red-eye effect.

a fast shutter speed (to prevent camera shake, etc.).
hSettings: 200 (standard), 400, 800, 1600
If you select a photography mode other than
W
when a
high sensitivity setting is selected, the resolution reverts
to the setting specified just before the sensitivity was set.
!
While selecting a higher sensitivity setting will allow you
to take pictures in darker locations, it will also increase
the amount of speckling in your images.
Streaking may also be visible in shots of scenes such as
the night sky.
Choose the sensitivity setting that best suits the conditions.
!
When you specify a high sensitivity, the amount of noise
(interference) in the image shown on the LCD monitor
before the shot is taken increases. However, this is
normal and does not indicate a fault.
!
The digital zoom cannot be used in high-sensitivity photography.

When the camera is in sleep mode, pressing the
shutter button down halfway brings the camera
back to full operational mode. This is a useful
feature as it allows you to take pictures more
quickly than switching the camera off and then
on again. You can also take a picture by pressing
the shutter button all the way down.
!
Operation can also be restored by pressing buttons
other than the shutter button.

Notes on the Power Supply
This camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery
Pack NP-60. Note the points below when using the
rechargeable battery. Take particular care to read the
Safety Notes to ensure that you use the battery correctly.
When shipped, the NP-60 is not fully charged. Always
charge the NP-60 before using it.
h When carrying the NP-
60, install it in a digital
camera or keep it in the
soft case.
h When storing the NP-60,
place it inside the special
soft case provided.
Battery Features
h The NP-60 gradually loses its charge even when not
used. Use a NP-60 that has been charged recently (in
the last day or two) to take pictures.
h To maximize the life of the NP-60, switch the camera
off as quickly as possible when it is not being used.
h The number of available shots will be lower in cold
locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare
fully charged NP-60.
You can also increase the amount of power produced
by putting the NP-60 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
NP-60 directly against the pad. The camera may not
operate if you use a depleted NP-60 in cold conditions.
Notes on Using the Battery (NP-60)
Charging the Battery
h You can charge the NP-60 using the AC Power
Adapter AC-5VS/AC-5VHS.
The NP-60 can be charged at ambient temperatures
between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an
ambient temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes
approximately 3 hours to charge a fully depleted
NP-60 battery.
You should charge the NP-60 at an ambient
temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and
+95°F). If you charge the NP-60 at a temperature
outside this range, charging takes longer because
the performance of the NP-60 is impaired.
You cannot charge the NP-60 at temperatures of
0°C (+32°F) or below.
h You can also use the optional BC-60 Battery Charger
to charge the NP-60.
The NP-60 can be charged using the BC-60 Battery
Charger at ambient temperatures between 0°C and
+40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an ambient
temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes approximately
2 hours to charge a fully depleted NP-60 battery.
You should charge the NP-60 at an ambient
temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and
+95°F). If you charge the NP-60 at a temperature
outside this range, charging takes longer because
the performance of the NP-60 is impaired.
h The NP-60 does not need to be fully discharged or
exhausted flat before being charged.
h The NP-60 may feel warm after it has been charged or
immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal.
h Do not recharge a fully charged NP-60.
Soft case
Battery
(NP-60)
h Do not recharge the battery with chargers other those
specified.
h Dispose of used batteries promptly.
To avoid damaging the battery or shortening its
life, observe the following:
h Do not drop the battery or otherwise subject it to
strong impacts.
h Do not immerse the battery in water.
To ensure that you obtain optimum battery
performance, observe the following:
h Always keep the battery terminals clean.
h Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Storing the
battery for long periods in a hot location can shorten
the battery life.
If you use the battery for a long period, the camera
body and the battery itself will become warm. This is
normal and is not a malfunction. Use the AC power
adapter supplied with the camera if you are taking
pictures or viewing images for a long period of time.

SmartMedia
The SmartMedia card supplied with your FinePix F401
camera is a new image recording medium developed
especially for use in digital cameras. Each SmartMedia
card contains a built-in semiconductor memory chip
(NAND flash memory) which is used for storing digital
image data.
Because the data is stored electronically, the stored image
data can be erased from the card and new data recorded.
SmartMedia with IDs
The SmartMedia ID is a SmartMedia that has an
individually assigned identification number. SmartMedia
ID cards can be used with devices that use ID numbers
for copyright protection or other purposes. This camera
accepts SmartMedia ID cards in the same way as
conventional SmartMedia cards.
Storing Data
In the situations listed below, recorded data may be
erased (destroyed). Please note that Fuji Photo Film
Co., Ltd. accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the
loss (destruction) of recorded data.
When the SmartMedia is used incorrectly by the
owner or a third party
When the SmartMedia is exposed to static electricity
or electrical noise
When the battery cover is opened or the SmartMedia
removed and the camera is then switched off during
data recording, during data erasing (SmartMedia
formatting) or during frame advance when images are
being played back.
You should always back up important files onto
another media (MO disk, CD-R, CD-RW, hard
disk, etc.).
Notes on Handling SmartMedia
h Take care to hold the SmartMedia straight when you
load it into your camera.
h Never remove the SmartMedia or switch the camera
off during data recording, during data erasing
(SmartMedia formatting) or during frame advance
when images are being played back. These actions
could result in damage to the SmartMedia.
h Use only the SmartMedia specified for use with the
FinePix F401. The use of other SmartMedia could
damage the camera.
h SmartMedia are precision electronic devices. Do not
bend, drop, or subject SmartMedia to excessive
shocks.
h Do not use or store SmartMedia in environments
likely to be affected by strong static electricity or
electrical noise.
h Do not use or store SmartMedia in very hot, humid or
corrosive environments.
h Take care not to touch the SmartMedias contact area
or allow the area to become soiled. Use a dry lint-free
cloth to wipe away any soiling that does occur.
h To avoid damage caused by static electricity, always
use the special static-free case provided during
transportation or storage, or keep the SmartMedia in
a storage case if available.
9796
Warning Displays e The table below lists the warnings that are displayed on the LCD monitor
Notes on the SmartMedia
h Do not carry SmartMedia in locations such as a
trouser pocket. This could subject the SmartMedia to
excessive force when you sit down, thereby
damaging the SmartMedia.
h The SmartMedia may feel warm when it is removed
from the camera after extended periods of picture
taking or image viewing. This is normal and does not
indicate a fault.
h Inserting a SmartMedia that is charged with static
electricity into your camera may result in a camera
malfunction. If this occurs, switch the camera off and
then on again.
h Affix the label onto the designated area of the card.
Do not use third-party labels as this can lead to
problems when the card is inserted or removed.
h When you attach the label, take care that it does not
cover any of the write-protect area.
Notes on Using SmartMedia with a PC
h If you intend to take photos using a SmartMedia that
has been used on a PC, format the SmartMedia on
your camera.
h When you format a SmartMedia in the camera and
then shoot and record images, a directory (folder) is
automatically created. Image data is then recorded in
this directory.
h Do not change or delete the directory (folder) names
or file names on the SmartMedia from your PC as this
will make it impossible to use the SmartMedia in your
camera.
h Always use the camera to erase image data on a
SmartMedia.
h To edit image data, copy the image data to the PCs
hard disk and then edit the copied data.
h Do not copy files other than those that will be used by the
camera.
Be sure to use your PCs disk eject function
(right-click the removable disk icon in the My
Computer window and then click Eject) when
you eject a SmartMedia from the PC card reader
or PC card adapter.
When you are using a USB connection, you
should also select and left-click the eject button
for USB disc/mass storage in the taskbar.
If you do not use the correct eject procedure,
the SmartMedia may be damaged due to write-
behind cashing.

Explanation of Terms
DPOF:
Digital Print Order Format
DPOF is a format used for recording information on
a storage media (image memory card, etc.) that
allows you to specify which of the frames shot using
a digital camera are printed and how many prints
are made of each image.
EV:
A number that 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.
JPEG:
Joint Photographics Experts Group
A file format used for compressing and saving color
images. The compression ratio can be selected, but
the higher the compression ratio, the poorer the
quality of the expanded 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.
PC Card:
A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card
Standard.
PC Card Standard:
A standard for PC cards determined by the
PCMCIA.
PCMCIA:
Personal Computer Memory Card International
Association (US).

Explanation of Terms
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. A function that
automatically matches the white balance is called
an Automatic White Balance function.

These specifications are subject to change without notice.
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 photographed images may appear distorted. This is normal and does not
indicate a fault.
