    Loading the BatteriesBatteries are required to operate the digital camera. Atfirst, load the batteries in the camera.

    Z Compatible batteriesAA-size alkaline batteries (2) or AA-size Ni-MHrechargeable batteries (2) (sold separately)

    CAUTION

    Never use the following types ofbatteries, as they could causeserious problems such as batteryfluid leakage or overheating:1.Batteries with split or peeling

    outer casings2.Combinations of different types

    of batteries or new and used batteries together Do not use manganese or Ni-Cd batteries. Use the same brand and grade AA-size alkaline

    batteries as those supplied with the camera.

    1 Open the battery cover.

    CHECK

    Check that the camera is turned off before opening thebattery cover.

    CAUTION

    Loading the Batteries

    Checking the battery chargeTurn the camera on and check the battery charge.

    A There is ample battery charge. (Not displayed)B There is insufficient charge left in the batteries. The

    batteries will soon run out. Have a new set of batteriesready. (Lit red)

    C The batteries are depleted. The display will shortly goblank and the camera will stop working. Replace orrecharge the batteries. (Blinking red)

    CAUTION

    Soil, such as fingermarks on the poles of the batteries,can shorten time for which the batteries can be used.

    The time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referredto hereafter simply as alkaline batteries) can be used

    varies depending on the brand. Some brands of alkalinebatteries may stop providing power more quickly thanthose supplied with the camera. Note also that due totheir nature, the time for which alkaline batteries can beused decreases in cold conditions (0C to +10C/+32Fto +50F). For this reason, it is better to use AA-size Ni-MH batteries.

    Due to the nature of the battery, the battery levelwarning (C or V ) may appear early when thecamera is used in cold locations. Try warming thebatteries in your pocket or a similar location before use.

    Depending on the battery type and the level of chargein the batteries, the camera may run out of power

    without first displaying a battery level warning. This isparticularly likely to happen when batteries that haverun out of charge once are re-used.

    Depending on the camera mode, the transition fromC to V may occur more quickly.

    Use Fujifilm Battery charger (sold separately) to chargeAA-size Ni-MH batteries.

    See p.98-99 for information on the batteries. When first purchased or if left unused for a long period,

    the amount of time which AA-size Ni-MH batteries canbe used may be short. See p.99 for more information.

    Battery power consumption varies greatly dependingon use. When you change to Playback mode fromPhotography mode,C may not occur, however,V may suddenly blink red and the camera may stopoperation.

    the background (such as subjects dressed in the same coloras the background)

    Shots where another high-contrast object (not the subject) isclose to the AF frame and is either closer or further awaythan your subject (such as a shot of someone against abackground with strongly contrasting elements)

    For such subjects use AF/AE lock ( p.28).
