Connecting the AC power adapter does not allow
you to charge the AA-size nickel-metal hydride
batteries. To charge the AA-size nickel-metal
hydride batteries, you must use the optional charger
(

➡P.67).

Check that the camera is switched off. Plug the AC
power adapter connector into the “DC IN 3V”
socket and then plug the AC power adapter into the
power outlet.

●

The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and
shall be easily accessible.

●

The shape of the plug and socket-outlet depends on the
country of use.

✽

✽ Sold separately

It is recommended that you use the AC Power Adapter AC-3V (sold separately) or the AC Power
Adapter AC-3VW bundled with the cradle (sold separately) for the connection. Constant power
supply will prevent unsuccessful data transfer caused by an interrupted power supply. 
Use only the FUJIFILM “AC Power Adapter AC-3V” or the “AC Power Adapter AC-3VW” bundled
with the PictureCradle CP-FXA10 (

➡P.67).

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 batteries.

●

See P.69 for notes on using the AC power adapter.

●

By using the optional cradle, the AC power adapter bundled with the cradle must be used. The use of AC power adapters
other than the bundled product will cause faults.

●

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 xD-Picture Card or malfunctions during PC connection.

The “Camera Connection” section explains how to connect the camera to your computer using the
included USB cable and describes the functions you can use once the camera and computer are
connected.

Switch off the camera and TV. Plug the Video cable
(provided with the camera) into the “VIDEO OUT”
(video output) socket.

Plug the other end of the cable into the video input
socket on the TV. Then switch the camera and TV
on and playback images as you would normally.

●

If there is a power outlet available, connect the AC-3V AC
Power Adapter.

●

Before plugging the video cable into the VIDEO OUT socket,
the LCD monitor display switches off.

●

Refer to the instructions provided with your TV for more
information on video input for your TV.

If the power cuts out during data transmission, the data will not be transmitted correctly. Always use the
AC power adapter when connecting the camera to a computer.

For more information on using the software, refer to “How
to use FinePixViewer” in the HELP menu which was
installed from the CD-ROM.

Refer to Section 5 the first time you connect the camera to your computer.
Install all of the software before connecting the camera to your computer.

This mode provides a simple way to read images from an xD-Picture Card and store images onto
an xD-Picture Card (

➡P.60).
