■ Damaged by Condensation

If the camera is carried 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, turn 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.

■ When the Camera is Not Used or is

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

■ Cleaning Your Camera

h Use a blower brush to brush away any dust on the

lens, LCD monitor, viewfinder and then gently wipe
the camera with a soft, dry cloth. If any soil 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, LCD

monitor or viewfinder.

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

Do not use volatile substances or cleaning products
these items can cause damage.

■ Using the Camera When Traveling

When traveling overseas, do not place your camera in
the check-in baggage. Baggage can be subjected
violent shocks, and the camera may be damaged
inside or outside.

h In the camera, use AA-size alkaline or nickel-metal

hydride (Ni-MH) batteries.
Do not use AA-size manganese or nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cd) batteries in your FinePix S5100/FinePix
S5500 because the heat created by the batteries
could damage the camera or cause it not to work.

h The life of alkaline batteries varies between brands.

The life of batteries you purchase may be shorter
than those provided with the camera.

Incorrect use of the batteries could cause them to
leak, become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the
precautions given below.
h Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.
h Do not carry or store batteries with metal objects

such as necklaces or hairpins.

h Do not expose the batteries to water, and keep

batteries from getting wet or stored in moist
locations.

h Do not attempt to take apart or change the batteries,

including battery casings.

h Do not subject the batteries to strong impacts.
h Do not use batteries that are leaking, deformed,

discolored.

h Do not store batteries in warm or humid places.
h Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small

children.

h Make sure that the battery polarity (≠ and  –) is

correct.

h Do not use new with used batteries. Do not use

charged and discharged batteries together.

h Do not use different types or brands of batteries at

the same time.

h If you do not intend to use the camera for a long

period of time, remove the batteries from the
camera. Note if the camera is left with the batteries
removed, the time and date settings are cleared.

h The batteries feel warm right after being used.

Before removing the batteries, turn the camera off
and wait for the batteries to cool down.

h Since batteries do not work well in cold weather or

locations, warm the batteries by placing them inside
your garments before use. Batteries do not work well
when cold. They will work again when the
temperature returns to normal.

h Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals

makes the batteries charge less reducing the
number of images. Carefully wipe the battery
terminals with a soft dry cloth before loading.

If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe
the battery compartment thoroughly and then
load new batteries.
If any battery fluid comes into contact with your
hands or clothing, flush the area thoroughly
with water. Note that battery fluid can cause
loss of eyesight if it gets into your eyes. If this
occurs, do not rub your eyes. Flush the fluid
out with clean water and contact your physician
for treatment.
