To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose the AC power adapter to rain or moisture.
The AC power adapter shall not be exposed to
drippping or splashing and that no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the AC
power adapter.

e Be sure to read this information in conjunction with “Safety Notes” (

➡P.102), to ensure that you

use your camera correctly.

■ Places to Avoid

Do not store or use the camera in the following types
of locations:
h In the rain or in very humid, dirty or dusty places.
h In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme

temperature rises, such as in a closed car in summer.

h Extremely cold places.
h Places subject to strong vibration.
h Places affected by smoke or steam.
h Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as

near motors, transformers or magnets).

h In contact with chemicals such as pesticides or next

to rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time.

■ Notes on Immersion in Water or Sand

The FinePix F700 is particularly adversely affected by
water and sand. When you are at the beach or close
to water, ensure that the camera is not exposed to
water or sand. Take care also not to place the camera
on a wet surface. Water or sand inside the camera
can cause faults that may be irreparable.

■ Notes on Condensation

If the camera is carried suddenly from a cold location
into a warm place, water droplets (condensation) may
form on the inside of the camera or on the lens. When
this occurs, switch the camera off and wait an hour
before using the camera. Condensation may also form
on the xD-Picture card. In this event, remove the xD-
Picture card and wait a short time before using it again.

■ When the Camera is Unused for Long

If you do not intend to use the camera for a long
period of time, remove the battery and the xD-Picture
card before storing the camera.

■ Cleaning Your Camera

h Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens

and LCD monitor screen as these surfaces, and
then wipe lightly with a soft, dry cloth. If any soiling
remains, apply a small amount of lens cleaning
liquid to a piece of FUJIFILM lens cleaning paper
and wipe gently.

h Do not scratch hard objects against the lens and

LCD monitor screen as these surfaces are easily
damaged.

h Clean the body of the camera with a soft, dry cloth.

Do not use volatile substances such as thinners,
benzine or insecticide, as these may react with
camera body and cause deformation or remove the
coating.

■ Using the Camera Overseas

When travelling overseas, do not place your camera in
the check-in baggage. Baggage handling at airports
may subject baggage to violent shocks, and the
camera may be damaged internally even when no
external damage is visible.

This camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery
Pack NP-40. 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-40 is not fully charged. Always

charge the NP-40 before using it.

h When carrying the NP-40,

install it in a digital camera
or keep it in the soft case.

h When storing the NP-40,

place it inside the special
soft case provided.

■ Battery Features

h The NP-40 gradually loses its charge even when not

used. Use a NP-40 that has been charged recently (in
the last day or two) to take pictures.

h To maximize the life of the NP-40, 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-40.
You can also increase the amount of power produced
by putting the NP-40 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-40 directly against the pad. The camera may
not operate if you use a depleted NP-40 in cold
conditions.

■ Charging the Battery

h You can charge the battery using the camera and the

AC power adapter (supplied).
i The NP-40 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 2 hours to charge a fully depleted 
NP-40 battery.

i You should charge the NP-40 at an ambient

temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and
+95°F). If you charge the NP-40 at a temperature
outside this range, charging takes longer because the
performance of the NP-40 is impaired.

i You cannot charge the NP-40 at temperatures of 0°C

(+32°F) or below.

h You can also use the optional Battery Charger BC-65

to charge the NP-40. When charging, use the NP-40
battery adapter supplied with the BC-65 (Refer to the
Owner’s Manual for details).
i The NP-40 can be charged using the BC-65 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
90 minutes to charge a fully depleted NP-40 battery.

i You should charge the NP-40 at an ambient

temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and
+95°F). If you charge the NP-40 at a temperature
outside this range, charging takes longer because the
performance of the NP-40 is impaired.

h The NP-40 does not need to be fully discharged or

exhausted flat before being charged.

h The NP-40 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-40.

■ Battery Life

At normal temperatures, the NP-40 can be used at least
300 times.
If the time for which the NP-40 provides power shortens
markedly, this indicates that the NP-40 has reached the
end of its effective life and should be replaced.
