Use the “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function in the following situations:
i When the batteries only last for a short time after being charged normally
i When the batteries have not been used for a long period
i When you purchase new Ni-MH batteries

●

Do not use the procedure for discharging rechargeable
batteries with alkaline batteries.

Always use the AC Power Adapter AC-5VX with the
camera.
The use of an AC Power adapter other than AC-5VX
can be damaged to your digital camera.
h Use the AC power adapter for indoor use only.
h Plug the connection cord plug securely into the DC

input terminal of the FUJIFILM Digital camera.

h Turn off the FUJIFILM Digital camera before

disconnecting the cord from the FUJIFILM Digital
camera’s DC input terminal. To disconnect, pull out
the plug gently. Do not pull on the cord.

h Do not use the AC power adapter with any device

other than your camera.

h During use, the AC power adapter will become hot

to the touch. This is normal.

h Do not take apart the AC power adapter. Doing so

could be dangerous.

h Do not use the AC power adapter in a hot and

humid place.

h Do not subject the AC power adapter to strong

shocks.

h The AC power adapter may emit a humming. This is

normal.

h If used near a radio, the AC power adapter may

cause static. If this happens, move the camera away
from the radio.

h As a power source in digital cameras, AA-size Ni-

MH batteries (referred to hereafter as Ni-MH
batteries) are superior to alkaline batteries in several
ways, such as allowing more shots to be taken with
the camera. However, care must be taken with the
way Ni-MH batteries are used if their original
performance is to be maintained.

h Ni-MH batteries left unused in storage for long

periods can become “deactivated”. Also, repeatedly
charging Ni-MH batteries that are only partially
discharged can cause them to suffer from the
“memory effect”.
Ni-MH batteries that are “deactivated” or affected by
“memory” suffer from the problem of only providing
power for a short time after being charged. To
prevent this problem, discharge and recharge them
several times using the camera’s “Discharging
rechargeable batteries” function. By repeating this
cycle several times, the temporary reduction in
performance caused by “memory” or “deactivation”
can be remedied and the batteries can be restored
to their original performance levels.
Deactivation and memory are specific to Ni-MH
batteries and are not in fact battery faults. See P.139
for the procedure for “Discharging rechargeable
batteries”.

Do not use the “Discharging rechargeable batteries”
function when alkaline batteries being used.

h To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the quick battery

charger (sold separately). Refer to the instructions
supplied with the charger to make sure that the
charger is used correctly.

h Do not use the battery charger to charge other

batteries.

h Note that the batteries feel warm after being

charged.

h Due to the way the camera is constructed, a small

amount of current is used even when the camera is
turned off. Note in particular that leaving Ni-MH
batteries in the camera for a long period will
overdischarge the batteries and may render them
unusable even after recharging.

h Ni-MH batteries will self-discharge even when not

used, and the time for which they can be used may
be shortened as a result.

h Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if

overdischarged (e.g. by discharging the batteries in
a flashlight). Use the “Discharging rechargeable
batteries” function provided in the camera to
discharge the batteries.

h Ni-MH batteries have a limited service life. If a

battery can only be used for a short time even after
repeated discharge-charge cycles, it may have
reached the end of its service life.

■ Disposing of Batteries

When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with
your local waste disposal regulations.
