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 media. In this event, remove the media and
wait a short time before using it again.

■ Cleaning Your Camera
h Use a blower brush to brush away any dust on the lens, LCD monitor surface, viewfinder or external AF

h Do not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD monitor screen or viewfinder 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.
coating.
h This camera is equipped with a CCD photosensitive element. This CCD is located behind the shutter
screen. If dust or other soiling attaches to the surface of the CCD and pictures are then taken, this soiling
may appear as spots in the image, depending on the camera settings and the type of subject. If this
occurs, the CCD must be cleaned. Because the surface of the CCD is extremely fragile, wherever
possible the camera should be returned to an authorized FUJIFILM dealer for cleaning (for a charge).
Any repairs carried out by an authorized FUJIFILM service facility to CCDs that were scratched or
damaged during cleaning by the customer will be charged to the customer. Note that such repairs will
probably involve replacing the CCD and will be expensive.

i Before a FUJIFILM digital camera is shipped from the factory, it is carefully checked for dust inside
the camera and on the surface of the CCD to ensure that it conforms to FUJIFILM standards.
i Bear in mind also that some types of soiling on the CCD surface cannot be removed even by an
authorized FUJIFILM dealer.
Should this occur, you can use features such as the despeckling function provided in the image
processing software to remedy the problem.
