For Your Safety
Battery  capacity  varies  with  make 
and storage conditions.  Some com-
mercially-available batteries may 
have less capacity than the batteries 
provided with the camera.
Cautions: Handling Batteries
•  Do not use batteries that are leak-
ing, deformed, or discolored.  Warn-
ing
: If the batteries leak, clean the 
battery compartment thoroughly 
before inserting new batteries.  If 
fl uid from the battery comes into 
contact with skin or clothing, fl ush 
the aff ected area with water.  If 
fl uid enters your eyes, immediately fl ush 
the aff ected area with water and seek 
medical attention.  Do not rub your eyes.  
Failure to observe this precaution could 
result in loss of eyesight
.
• Do not transport or store with 
metal objects such as necklaces or 
hairpins.
•  Do not disassemble or modify the 
batteries or battery casing.
• Do not expose to strong physical 
shocks.
• Do not expose to water, fl ame, or 
heat, or store in warm or humid 
conditions.
• Keep out of reach of infants and 
small children.
•  Insert in the correct orientation.
•  Do not mix old and new batteries, 
batteries with diff erent charge lev-
els, or batteries of diff erent types.
• If the camera will not be used for 
an extended period, remove the 
batteries.  Note that the camera 
clock will be reset (pg. 9).
•  The batteries may be warm to the 
touch immediately after use.  Turn 
the camera off  and allow the bat-
teries to cool before handling.
•  Battery capacity tends to decrease 
at low temperatures.  Keep spare 
batteries in a pocket or other warm 
place and exchange as necessary.  
Cold batteries may recover some 
of their charge when warmed.
• Fingerprints and other foreign 
matter on the battery terminals 
can reduce battery performance. 
 
Thoroughly clean the terminals 
with a soft, dry cloth before insert-
ing the batteries in the camera.
Ni-MH Batteries
The capacity of Ni-MH batteries may 
be temporarily reduced when new, 
after long periods of disuse, or if they 
are repeatedly recharged before be-
ing fully discharged.  This is normal 
and does not indicate a malfunction.  
Capacity can be increased by repeat-
edly discharging the batteries using 
the 
DISCHARGE option in the 
camera setup menu (pg. 64) and re-
charging them using a battery char-
ger (sold separately).  Do not use this 
option with alkaline batteries.
The camera draws a small amount 
of current even when off .  Ni-MH 
batteries  that  have  been  left  in  the 
camera for an extended period may 
be drawn down to the point that 
they no longer hold a charge.  Bat-
tery performance may also drop 
if the batteries are run down in a 
device such as a fl ashlight.  Use the 
DISCHARGE option in the cam-
era setup menu to discharge Ni-MH 
batteries.  Batteries that no longer 
hold a charge even after repeatedly 
being discharged and recharged 
have reached the end of their service 
life and must be replaced.
Ni-MH batteries can be recharged in 
a battery charger (sold separately).  
Batteries may become warm to the 
touch after charging.  Refer to the in-
structions provided with the charger 
for more information.  Use the char-
ger with compatible batteries only.
Ni-MH batteries gradually lose their 
charge when not in use.
Disposal
Dispose of used batteries in accord 
with local regulations.
Using the Camera
To  ensure  that  images  are  recorded 
correctly, do not subject the camera 
to  impact  or  physical  shocks  while 
images are being recorded.
Electrical Interference
This camera may interfere with hos-
pital or aviation equipment.  Consult 
with hospital or airline staff   before 
using the camera in a hospital or on 
an aircraft.
Liquid Crystal
In the event that the monitor is dam-
aged, care should be taken to avoid 
contact with liquid crystal.  Take the 
urgent action indicated should any 
of the following situations arise:
•  If liquid crystal comes in contact with 
your skin, clean the area with a cloth 
and then wash thoroughly with 
soap and running water.
•  If liquid crystal enters your eyes, fl ush 
the aff ected eye with clean water 
for at least 15 minutes and then 
seek medical assistance.
•  If liquid crystal is swallowed, rinse 
your mouth thoroughly with water.  
Drink large quantities of water and 
induce vomiting, then seek medi-
cal assistance.
Take Test Shots
Before taking photographs on impor-
tant occasions (such as at weddings 
or before taking the camera on a trip), 
take a test shot and view the result in 
the monitor to ensure that the cam-
era is functioning normally.  FUJIFILM 
Corporation can not accept liability 
for damages or lost profi ts incurred 
as a result of product malfunction.
