Loading the Batteries
Batteries are required to operate the digital camera. At
first, load the batteries in the camera.
Compatible batteries
AA-size alkaline batteries (4) or AA-size Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries (4) (sold separately)
CAUTION
Never use the following types of
batteries, as they could cause
serious problems such as battery
fluid leakage or overheating:
1. Batteries with split or peeling
outer casings
2. Combinations of different
types of batteries or new and used batteries together
Do not use manganese, Ni-Cd or lithium batteries.
Use the same brand and grade AA-size alkaline
batteries as those supplied with the camera.
1 Slide the lock lease catch to open the
battery cover.
CHECK
Check that the camera is turned off before opening the
battery cover.
CAUTION
Do not open the battery cover while the camera is on.
This could damage the Memory Card or ruin the image
files on the Memory Card.
Do not apply force to the battery cover.

Getting Ready
2 Load the batteries correctly as indicated by
the polarity icons.
CAUTION
Match the polarity icons (+ and ,) of the batteries to
those on the inside of the battery cover.
3 Press on the battery cover to push the
batteries down. Slide the cover closed.
CHECK
Make sure to close the battery cover securely until you
hear a click.
Checking the battery charge
Turn the camera on and check the battery charge.
AThere is ample battery charge. (Not displayed)
BThere is insufficient charge left in the batteries. The
batteries will soon run out. Have a new set of batteries
ready. (Lit red)
CThe batteries are depleted. The display will shortly go
blank and the camera will stop working. Replace or
recharge the batteries. (Blinking red)
Continued Q
18
Loading the Batteries
Notes on batteries
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 (referred
to hereafter simply as alkaline batteries) can be used
varies depending on the brand. Some brands of alkaline
batteries may stop providing power more quickly than
those supplied with the camera. Note also that due to
their nature, the time for which alkaline batteries can be
used decreases in cold conditions (0°C to +10°C/+32°F
to +50°F). For this reason, it is better to use AA-size Ni-
MH batteries.
Due to the nature of the battery, the battery level
warning ( , V) may appear early when the
camera is used in cold locations. Try warming the
batteries in your pocket or a similar location before use.
Depending on the battery type and the level of charge
in the batteries, the camera may run out of power
without first displaying a battery level warning. This is
particularly likely to happen when batteries that have
run out of charge once are re-used.
Depending on the camera mode, the transition from
to V may occur more quickly.
Use Fujifilm Battery charger (sold separately) to charge
AA-size Ni-MH batteries.
When first purchased or if left unused for a long period,
the amount of time which AA-size Ni-MH batteries can
be used may be short.
Battery power consumption varies greatly depending
on use. When you change to Playback mode from
Photography mode, may not occur, however,
V may suddenly blink red and the camera may stop
operation.
See “Notes and Cautions” (included) for more
information.

Subjects not suitable for Intelligent Face Detection
Intelligent Face Detection automatically focuses on a face(s).
However, difficulties will occur with the Intelligent Face
Detection mode in the following situations:
The face is obscured by glasses, sunglasses, a hat or hair.
A person turned sideways, or who has their head tilted
The subject is too far away to recognize a face
Intelligent Face Detection will not work in cases where the
subject is standing on his/her head, is not a person (pet or
other animal), or if the camera is not held correctly.
Use AF/AE lock (p.33) to guarantee best result
when shooting a subject that is not suited for
Intelligent Face Detection.
CAUTION
If the camera or subject move as the picture is taken,
the subject’s face may move out of the Intelligent Face
Detection frame.
When the camera is detecting multiple faces, the green
frame is set around the face near the center. If you want
to focus on another subject, move the camera so that
the new subject is in the center of the screen.
If focus is still not achieved, press (Intelligent Face
Detection) to turn off the function, and take the picture
using AF/AE lock (p.34).
Intelligent Face Detection can focus on a face in a white
frame providing the subjects in the green and white
frame are of the same focal length.
Pressing the shutter button halfway with Intelligent Face
Detection off, the focus will be on the center of the
frame.

Using the Camera
Subjects not suitable for autofocus
FinePix S8000fd uses a high-precision autofocusing
mechanism. However, it may have difficulty focusing on the
following:
Subjects photographed through glass
Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair or fur
Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or flames
Dark subjects
Subjects with little or no contrast between the subject and
the background (such as subjects dressed in the same color
as the background)
Shots where another high-contrast object (not the subject) is
close to the AF frame and is either closer or further away
than your subject (such as a shot of someone against a
background with strongly contrasting elements)
For such subjects use AF/AE lock (p.34) or “MF” Manual
focus mode (p.85).
AF-assist illuminator
Use this illuminator to focus on the subject in dimly lit
conditions.
When pressing the shutter button down halfway, the
camera fires the AF-assist illuminator (orange) while
focusing on your subject.
MEMO
Even when the AF-assist illuminator fires, the camera
may have difficulty focusing in some conditions.
The camera focuses most easily when a picture is taken
at a distance of around 1.8 m (5.9 ft.) with wide-angle or
telephoto.
Even though there is no danger to safety, do not expose
it directly in someone’s eyes.
When using the AF-assist illuminator in Macro mode,
the camera may have difficulty focusing to take close-
up shots.
See p.111, 112 for information on turning the AF-assist
illuminator off.
AF-assist illuminator does not fire in ,, ., , ,

Using the AC power adapter (sold separately)
Always use a FUJIFILM AC Power Adapter AC-5VX (sold
separately) (p.136).
Use the AC power adapter to prevent losing power at
inconvenient times, such as when downloading
photographed images to your PC. You can take pictures
and play back images without worrying about depleting
the batteries.
Check that the camera is off. Plug the AC power adapter
connector into the DC IN 5V socket and then plug the AC
power adapter into the power outlet.
CAUTION
Only connect and disconnect the AC power adapter
when the camera is off. Connecting or disconnecting
the AC power adapter while the camera is on
temporarily interrupts the power supply to the camera,
which will stop the recording of any images or movies
being shot. Failing to turn the camera off before
connecting/disconnecting can also result in damage to
the Memory Card, or malfunction during PC connection.
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.
FUJIFILM is not responsible for any malfunction caused
by using any AC power adapter other than FUJIFILM
AC Power Adapter AC-5VX.
Do not connect the AC power adapter to charge the AA-

Notes on the
xD-Picture Card
™, the SD Memory Card and the Internal Memory
Z Handling Memory Card
When inserting the Memory Card into the camera, hold
the Memory Card straight as you push it in.
Never remove the Memory Card or turn the camera off
during data recording or erasing (Memory Card
formatting) as this could be damaged to the Memory
Card.
The use of xD-Picture Cards is recommended with
FinePix S8000fd.
The recording quality cannot be guaranteed when xD-
Picture Cards other than those manufactured by
FUJIFILM are used.
The Memory Card may feel warm when it is removed
from the camera after taking pictures. This is normal.
Do not put labels on the Memory Card. Peeling labels
can cause the camera not to work properly.
MEMO Type M and H of xD-Picture Card
Type M
There are two types of Memory Card: standard type and
Type M (containing “M” in the model number, such as
DPC-M2GB).
FinePix S8000fd is compatible with Type M.
Type H
Type H and M share the same compatibility.
Usable USB drive
Type H cannot be used with xD-Picture Card USB
drive DPC-UD1, while Type M can.
Z Internal Memory
Images held in the camera’s internal memory may be
corrupted or erased due to problems such as camera
faults. Save your important data to another media (i.e.,
DVD-R, CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.).
Data stored in the camera’s internal memory cannot be
guaranteed in the event that the camera is submitted for
repairs.
When the camera is repaired, any data stored in the
camera’s internal memory is subject to checking by the
repairer.
Z Using Memory Card or Internal Memory with a PC
When taking pictures using a Memory Card or internal
memory that has been used on a PC, reformat the
Memory Card using your camera.
When formatting, a directory (folder) is created. Image
data is then recorded in this directory.
Do not change or delete the directory (folder) or file
names on the Memory Card or internal memory
because this will make it impossible to use the Memory
Card or internal memory in your camera.
Always use the camera to erase image data.
To edit image data, copy or transfer the image data to
the PC and edit the copied or transferred data.

Guide to the number of
available frames for battery
operation
According to the CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) standard procedure for measuring
digital still camera battery consumption (extract):
When using alkaline batteries, use the batteries supplied with the camera. You can use Ni-MH batteries
also. The storage media should be xD-Picture Card.
Pictures should be taken at a temperature of +23°C (+73°F), with the LCD monitor turned on, the optical
zoom moved from full wide-angle to full telephoto (or vice-versa) and back again to its original position
every 30 seconds, the flash used at full power every second shot and the camera turned off and then on
again once every 10 shots.
Note: Because the number of available shots varies depending on the capacity of alkaline batteries or
the level of charge in Ni-MH batteries, the figures shown here for the number of available shots
using batteries are not guaranteed.
The number of available shots will also decline at low temperatures.
Camera dimensions (W/H/D) 111.3 mm × 78.2 mm × 79.3 mm/4.4 in. × 3.1 in. × 3.1 in. (not including accessories and attachments)

If you shoot using the xD-Picture Cards with model numbers containing “M” such as DPC-M1GB, movie recording time may be
reduced if you repeatedly record and erase (frame erase) image files. In such a case, erase all frames or format the xD-Picture Card
before use. Back up important frames (files) onto your PC or another media.
*
These specifications are subject to change without notice. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting from
errors in this Owner’s Manual.
*
The LCD monitor on your digital camera is manufactured using advanced high-precision technology. Even so, small bright
points and anomalous colors (particularly around text) may appear on the monitor. These are normal display characteristics
and do not indicate a fault with the monitor. This phenomenon will not appear on the recorded image.
*
The operation error may be caused in a digital camera by the strong radio interference (i. e. electric fields, static electricity,
line noise, etc.).
*
Due to the nature of the lens, the edges of images may appear distorted. This is normal.

Explanation of Terms
Deactivated batteries
Leaving an Ni-MH battery unused in storage for a long period may cause a rise in the level of substances that inhibit current
flow inside the battery and result in a dormant battery. A battery in this state is referred to as deactivated.
Because current flow is inhibited in a deactivated Ni-MH battery, the battery’s original level of performance cannot be achieved.
EV
A number denotes Exposure Value. The EV is determined by the brightness of the subject and sensitivity (speed) of the film
or CCD. The number is larger for bright subjects and smaller for dark subjects. As the brightness of the subject changes, a
digital camera maintains the amount of light hitting the CCD at a constant level by adjusting the aperture and shutter speed.
When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles, the EV increases by 1. Likewise, when the light is halved, the EV decreases
by 1.
Frame rate (fps)
The frame rate refers to the number of images (frames) that are photographed or played back per second. For example, when
10 frames are continuously photographed in a 1-second interval, the frame rate is expressed as 10 fps.
For reference, TV images are displayed at 30 fps (NTSC).
JPEG
Joint Photographic Experts Group
A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The higher the compression rate, the greater the loss of quality in
the decompressed (restored) image.
Memory effect
If an Ni-MH battery is repeatedly charged without first being fully discharged, its performance may drop below its original level.
This is referred to as the “memory effect”.
Motion JPEG
A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format that handles images and sound as a single file. Images in the file are recorded
in JPEG format. Motion JPEG can be played back by QuickTime 3.0 or later.
Smear
A phenomenon specific to CCDs whereby white streaks appear on the image when there is a very strong light source, such as
the sun or reflected sunlight, in the photography screen.
WAVE
A standard format used on Windows systems for saving audio data. WAVE files have the “.WAV” file extension and the data
can be saved in either compressed or uncompressed format. Uncompressed recording is used on this camera.
WAVE files can be played back on a personal computer using the following software:
Windows: MediaPlayer
Macintosh: QuickTime Player
* QuickTime 3.0 or later
157
White Balance
Whatever the kind of the light, the human eye adapts to it so that a white object still looks white. On the other hand, devices
such as digital cameras see a white subject as white by first adjusting the color balance to suit the color of the ambient light
around the subject. This adjustment is called matching the white balance.
Exif Print Format is a newly revised digital camera file format that contains a variety of shooting information for optimal printing.
