FirstSteps

Inserting the Batteries
The camera takes two AA alkaline (LR6) batteries (supplied) , two lithium batteries (sold separately) or two
AA rechargeable Ni-MH batteries (sold separately). Insert the batteries in the camera as described below.
1 Open the battery-chamber cover.
1Note
Be sure the camera is off
before opening the battery-
chamber cover.
3 Cautions
Do not open the battery-chamber cover when
the camera is on. Failure to observe this pre-caution could result in damage to image les or
memory cards.
Do not use excessive force when handling the
battery-chamber cover.
2 Insert the batteries.Insert the batteries in the
orientation shown by the+ and marks inside
the battery chamber.
3 Close the battery-chamber cover.
3 Cautions Insert the batteries in the correct orientation.
Never use batteries with peel-
ing or damaged casing or mix
old and new batteries, batter-
ies with different charge levels,
or batteries of different types.
Failure to observe these precautions could re-
sult in the batteries leaking or overheating.
Never use manganese or Ni-Cd. Replace AA alkaline
batteries with batteries of the same make and
grade as those supplied with the camera.
If the battery-chamber cover can not be latched easily,
conrm the battery orientation rst. Do not use exces-
sive force to latch it.

FirstSteps
Inserting a Memory Card
Although the camera can store pictures in internal memory, SD memory cards (sold separately) can be
used to store additional pictures.
When no memory card is inserted,qappears in the monitor and internal memory is used for recording
and playback. Note that because camera malfunction could cause internal memory to become cor-rupted, the pictures in internal memory should periodically be transferred to a computer and saved on
the computer hard disk or on removable media such as CDs or DVDs. The pictures in internal memory
can also be copied to a memory card (see page 60). To prevent internal memory from becoming full,
be sure to delete pictures when they are no longer needed.
When a memory card is insertedas described below, the card will be used for recording and playback.
Compatible Memory CardsCompatible Memory CardsSanDisk SD and SDHC memory cards have been tested and approved for use in the camera. A complete
list of approved memory cards is available at http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/index.
html. Operation is not guaranteed with other cards. The camera can not be used with MultiMediaCard
(MMC) orxD-Picture cards.
3 Caution
Memory cards can be locked, making it impossible to format the card or to record or deleteimages. Before inserting a memory card, slide the write-protect switch to the unlocked posi-
tion.

FirstSteps
Inserting a Memory Card
3 Cautions
Format memory cards before rst use or after using them in a computer or other device. For more information
on formatting memory cards, see page 69.
Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep out of reach of children. If a child swallows a memory card,seek medical assistance immediately.
Do not use miniSD or microSD adapters that expose the back of the card. Failure to observe
this precaution may cause damage or malfunction. Adapters that are larger or smaller than
the standard dimensions of an SD card may not eject normally; if the card does not eject,
take the camera to an authorized service representative. Do not forcibly remove the card.
Do not turn the camera off or remove the memory card while the memory card is being formatted or data are
being recorded to or deleted from the card. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card.
Do not affi x labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction. Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of memory card.
The data in internal memory may be erased or corrupted when the camera is repaired. Please note that the
repairer will be able to view pictures in internal memory.
Formatting a memory card or internal memory in the camera creates a folder in which pictures are stored. Do
not rename or delete this folder or use a computer or other device to edit, delete, or rename image les. Always
use the camera to delete pictures from memory cards and internal memory; before editing or renaming les,
copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.

Dark subjects and subjects that absorb rather than reect light, such as hair or fur.
Insubstantial subjects, such as smoke or ame.
Subjects that show little contrast with the background (for example, subjects in clothing that is the same color
as the background).

The self-timer lamp on the front of the camera will blink immediately
before the picture is taken. If the two-second timer is selected, the
self-timer lamp will blink as the timer counts down.
Intelligent Face Detection
Because it ensures that the faces of portrait subjects will be in focus, Intelligent Face Detection (pg. 15) is recom-
mended when using the self-timer for group portraits or self-portraits. To use the self-timer with Intelligent Face
Detection, set the timer as described in Step 1 and then press the shutter button all the way down to start the
timer. The camera will detect faces while the timer is counting down and adjust focus and exposure immedi-
ately before the shutter is released. Be careful not to move until the picture has been recorded.

mode is selected, or the camera is turned off.

nnections
3 Cautions
Use only memory cards that have been formatted
in the camera and contain pictures taken with the
camera. If a memory card containing a large num-
ber of images is inserted, there may be a delay beforeFinePixViewer starts and FinePixViewer may be un-
able to import or save images. Use a memory card
reader to transfer pictures.
Make sure the indicator lamp is out before turning the
camera off or disconnecting the USB cable. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in loss of data or
damage to internal memory or the memory card.
Disconnect the camera before inserting or removing
memory cards.
In some cases, it may not be possible to access pic-
tures saved to a network server using FinePixViewer
in the same way as on a standalone computer.
The user bears all applicable fees charged by the
phone company or Internet service provider when
using services that require an Internet connection.
Disconnecting the Camera
After conrming that the indicator lamp is out, follow
the on-screen instructions to turn the camera off and
disconnect the USB cable.
Uninstalling FinePixViewer
Only uninstall FinePixViewer before reinstalling the
software or when it is no longer required. After quit-
ting FinePixViewer and disconnecting the camera,
drag the FinePixViewer folder from Applications
into the Trash and select Empty Trashin the Finder
menu (Macintosh), or open the control panel and usePrograms and Features (Windows Vista) or Add/Re-
move Programs (other versions of Windows) to un-
install FinePixViewer. Under Windows, one or more

tents carefully before clicking OK.
