Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR 4004862 User Manual

*  Confirm your battery type before read-

ing the following descriptions.

The following explains proper use of 
batteries and how to prolong their 
life. Incorrect use of batteries can 
cause shorter battery life, as well as 
leakage, excessive heat, fire or explo-
sion.

* When shipped, the battery is not 

fully charged. Always charge the 
battery before using it.

* When carrying the battery, install it 

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

■ Battery Features
• The battery gradually loses its 

charge even when not used. Use 
a battery that has been charged 
recently (in the last day or two) to 
take pictures.

•  To maximize the life of the battery, 

turn the camera off as quickly as 
possible when it is not being used.

• The number of available frames 

will be lower in cold locations or 
at low temperatures. Take along 
a spare fully charged battery. You 
can also increase the amount of 
power produced by putting the 
battery  in  your  pocket  or  another 
warm place to heat it and then 
loading it into the camera just be-
fore you take a picture.

  If you are using a heating pad, take 

care not to place the battery di-
rectly against the pad. The camera 
may not operate if you use a de-
pleted battery in cold conditions.

■ Charging the Battery
• You can charge the battery using 

the battery charger (included).
- The battery can be charged 

at ambient temperatures be-
tween 0°C and +40°C (+32°F 
and +104°F). Refer to the Owner’s 
Manual for the time of charging 
battery.

- You should charge the battery 

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

- You cannot charge the battery 

at temperatures of 0°C (+32°F) or 
below.

•  The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Bat-

tery does not need to be fully dis-
charged or exhausted flat before 
being charged.

•  The battery may feel warm after it 

has been charged or immediately 
after being used. This is perfectly 
normal.

• Do not recharge a fully charged 

battery.

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

■ Notes on storage
• If a battery is stored for long 

periods while charged, the per-
formance of the battery can be 
impaired. If the battery will not be 
used for some time, run the battery 
out before storing it.

• If you do not intend to use the 

camera for a long period of time, 
remove the battery from the cam-
era.

•  Store the battery in a cool place.

- The battery should be stored in 

a dry location with an ambient 
temperature between +15°C and 
+25°C (+59°F and +77°F).

-  Do not leave the battery in hot or 

extremely cold places.

■ Handling the Battery 

• Do not carry or store battery with 

metal objects such as necklaces or 
hairpins.

•  Do not heat the battery or throw it 

into a fire.

• Do not attempt to take apart or 

change the battery.

• Do not recharge the battery with 

chargers other those specified.

•  Dispose of used battery promptly.
• Do not drop the battery or other-

wise subject it to strong impacts.

• Do not expose the battery to wa-

ter.

• Always keep the battery terminals 

clean.

• Do not store batteries in hot plac-

es. Also, if you use the battery for 
a long period, the camera body 
and the battery itself will become 
warm. This is normal. Use the AC 
power adapter if you are taking 
pictures or viewing images for a 
long period of time.

* For details on the batteries that 

you can use, refer to the Owner’s 
Manual of your camera.

•  Do not heat the batteries or throw 

them into a fire.

hairpins.

water, and keep batteries from get-
ting wet or stored in moist loca-
tions.
