LOADING THE BATTERIES AND THE MEDIA
2
Load the batteries correctly as indicated by the
polarity icons.
1
Check that the camera is turned off (viewfinder
lamp is off) before opening the battery cover.
!
Opening the battery cover while the camera is on, the camera
is turned off.
!
Do not apply force to the battery cover.
Do not open the battery cover while the camera is
on. This could damage the xD-Picture Card or ruin
the image files on the xD-Picture Card.
Compatible batteries
h AA-size alkaline batteries (2), Rechargeable Battery NH-10 (sold separately), or AA-size Ni-MH
batteries (sold separately) (2).
!
Please use the same brand and grade AA-size alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera.
How to use the batteries
h Never use the following types of batteries, as this could cause serious problems
such as batteries 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
h Do not use manganese or Ni-Cd batteries.
h Soil, such as fingermarks on the poles of the batteries can shorten time for which
the batteries can be used.
h
The time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referred to hereafter simply as alkaline batteries) can be used varies
depending on the brand, and some 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). The use of AA-size Ni-MH batteries is better for this reason.
h Cradle can be used in combination with camera and to charge rechargeable Battery NH-10 (sold
separately). Use Fujifilm Battery charger (sold separately) to charge AA-size Ni-MH batteries.
h See P.74, 75 for other notes on using batteries.
h When first purchased or if left unused for a long period, the time for which AA-size Ni-MH
batteries or rechargeable Battery NH-10 can be used may be shorter. See P.75 more information.
h When the surfaces of the Rechargeable Battery NH-10 terminals have become worn through repeated
use or the battery has been taken out of the camera and left for a long period, the battery may stop
supplying power or may become usable only for shorter periods.
To restore normal battery operation, open and close the battery cover several times to dislodge any
soiling on the terminals.

!
The information above is a guide for photography mode. Depending on the camera mode and the type of batteries
used, the transition from “
C” to “V” may occur more quickly.
!
Due to the nature of the battery, the battery low warning may appear early when the camera is used in cold
locations. This is normal. Try warming the batteries in your pocket or a similar location before use.
Battery level warning
1) The camera’s estimation of the remaining battery charge varies greatly depending on the camera operation mode.
Consequently, even if “
C” or “V” is not displayed in Playback mode, one of them may appear when you change
to Photography mode.
2) 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 to happen when batteries that have run out of charge once are
re-used.
In situation 2), immediately load new or fully charged replacement batteries.
Turn the camera on and check the battery charge.
4
Close the battery cover.
How to replace the xD-Picture Card
Pull out the xD-Picture Card, taking care that the
batteries do not fall out.
!
If the xD-Picture Card is difficult to remove, take out the
batteries first.
Checking the battery charge

remains unused for an additional interval (2 minutes
or 5 minutes), it is turned off. Use this function when
you want to get the maximum possible running time
from your batteries.

The Power save setting is disabled during automatic
playback, during rechargeable battery discharging and when
a USB connection is being used.

This function sets a time difference relative to the date and time currently set. When this setting is
enabled, the specified time difference is applied when pictures are taken.
Use this function when traveling to destinations in different time zones.
FRAME NO.
CONT. : Pictures are stored beginning from the
highest file number stored on the last xD-
Picture Card used.
RENEW: Pictures are stored on each xD-Picture
Card beginning with a file number “0001”.
Setting this function to “CONT.” makes file
management easier as it ensures that file names
are not duplicated when images are downloaded to
a PC.
!
When the camera settings are “qRESET”, the frame number
setting (“CONT.” or “RENEW”) is changed to “CONT.” and
the frame number itself does not return to “0001”.
!
When the xD-Picture Card already contains image files with
file numbers higher than the highest file number on the last
xD-Picture Card, images are stored beginning from the
highest file number on the current xD-Picture Card.
Check the file number by viewing the image. The
last 4 digits of the 7-digit number in the top right
corner of the LCD monitor are the file numbers,
while the first 3 digits show the directory number.
!
When changing the xD-Picture Card, always turn the
camera off before opening the battery cover. Opening the
battery cover without turning the camera off may cause the
frame number memory to not function.
!
File number runs from 0001 to 9999. Once 9999 is exceeded,
the directory number changes from 100 to 101. The

Using Your Camera Correctly
Power Supply and Batteries
e Read this information and the “Safety Notes” (P.87), to make sure you use your camera
correctly.
Places to Avoid
Do not store or use the camera in the following types
of locations:
h In the rain or in very humid, dirty or dusty places
h In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme
temperature rises, such as in a closed car in
summer
h Extremely cold places
h Places with strong vibration
h Places with smoke or steam
h Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as
near motors, transformers or magnets)
h In contact with chemicals such as next to rubber or
vinyl products
Damage by Water or Sand
The FinePix A330/FinePix A340 can be damaged on
the inside and outside by water and sand. When you
are at the beach or close to water, make sure that the
camera is not damaged by water or sand. Take care
not to place the camera on a wet surface.
Damage by Condensation
If the camera is carried from a cold location into a
warm place, water droplets (condensation) may form
on the inside of the camera or on the lens. When this
occurs, turn the camera off and wait an hour before
using the camera. Condensation may also form on the
xD-Picture Card. In this event, remove the xD-
Picture Card and wait a short time.
When the Camera is Not Used or is stored
Periods of Time
If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period
of time, remove the batteries and the xD-Picture Card.
Cleaning Your Camera
h Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens,
LCD monitor screen or viewfinder, and then wipe
lightly with a soft, dry cloth. If any soiling remains,
apply a small amount of lens cleaning liquid to a
piece of FUJIFILM lens cleaning paper and wipe
gently.
h Do not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD
monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces are
easily damaged.
h Clean the body of the camera with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use volatile substances or cleaning products
these items can cause damage.
Using the Camera When Traveling
When travelling overseas, do not place your camera in
the check-in baggage. Baggage can be subjected
violent shocks, and the camera may be damaged
inside or outside.
Applicable Batteries
h In the camera, use AA-size alkaline or nickel-metal
hydride batteries and the rechargeable battery NH-
10.
Do not use AA-size manganese or nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cd) batteries in your FinePix A330/FinePix A340
because the heat created by the batteries could
damage the camera or cause is not to work.
h The life of alkaline batteries varies between brands.
The life of batteries you purchase may be shorter
than those provided with the camera.
Notes on the Batteries
Incorrect use of the batteries could cause them to
leak, become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the
precautions given below.
h Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.
h Do not carry or store batteries with metal objects
such as necklaces or hairpins.
h Do not expose the batteries to water, and keep
batteries from getting wet or stored in moist
locations.
h Do not attempt to take apart or change the batteries,
including battery casings.
h Do not subject the batteries to strong impacts.
h Do not use batteries that are leaking, deformed,
discolored.
h Do not store batteries in warm or humid places.
h Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small
children.
h Make sure that the battery polarity (
and ) is
correct.
h Do not use new with used batteries. Do not use
charged and discharged batteries together.
h Do not use different types or brands of batteries at
the same time.
h If you do not intend to use the camera for a long
period of time, remove the batteries from the camera
(Note if the camera is left with the batteries
removed, the time and date settings are cleared).
h The batteries feel warm right after being used.
Before removing the batteries, turn the camera off
and wait for the batteries cool down.
h Since batteries do not work well in cold weather or
locations, warm the batteries by placing it inside
your garments before use. A battery that is not
working well due to cold will work again when the
temperature is return to normal.
h Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals
makes the batteries charge less reducing the
number of images they will allow you to take.
Carefully wipe the battery terminals with a soft dry
cloth before loading.
If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe
the battery compartment thoroughly and then
load new batteries.
If any battery fluid comes into contact with your
hands or clothing, flush the area thoroughly
with water. Note that battery fluid can cause
loss of eyesight if it gets into your eyes. If this
occurs, do not rub your eyes. Flush the fluid
out with clean water and contact your physician
for treatment.
75
Disposing of Batteries
When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with
your local waste disposal regulations.
Always use only the AC-3V AC Power Adapter (sold
separately) or the AC-3VW AC Power Adapter
(supplied with PictureCradle sold separately). The use
of other AC power adapters may result in damage to
your camera.
h The AC-3V cannot be used to charge the NH-10
Rechargeable Battery.
h Use AC power adapter for indoor use only.
h Plug the connection cord plug securely into the DC
input terminal of the FUJIFILM Digital camera.
h Turn off the FUJIFILM Digital camera before
disconnecting the cord from the FUJIFILM Digital
camera’s DC input terminal. To disconnect, pull out
the plug gently (Do not pull on the cord).
h Do not use this AC power adapter with any device
other than your camera.
h During use, the AC power adapter will become hot
to the touch. This is normal.
h Do not take apart the AC power adapter. Doing so
could be dangerous.
h Do not use this device in a place with hot humid
place.
h Do not subject AC power adapter to strong shocks.
h This device may emit a humming. But this is normal.
h If used near a radio, this device may cause static, if
this happens move the camera away from the radio.
AC Power Adapter
h As a power source in digital cameras, AA-size Ni-
MH batteries and the Rechargeable Battery NH-10
(referred to hereafter as Ni-MH batteries) are
superior to alkaline batteries in several ways, such
as allowing more shots to be taken with the camera.
However, care must be taken with the way Ni-MH
batteries are used if their original performance is to
be maintained.
h Ni-MH batteries left unused in storage for long
periods can become “deactivated”. Also, repeatedly
charging Ni-MH batteries that are only partially
discharged can cause them to suffer from the
“memory effect”.
Ni-MH batteries that are “deactivated” or affected by
“memory” suffer from the problem of only providing
power for a short time after being charged. To
prevent this problem, discharge and recharge them
several times using the camera’s “Discharging
rechargeable batteries” function. By repeating this
cycle several times, the temporary reduction in
performance caused by “memory” or “deactivation”
can be remedied and the batteries can be restored
to their original performance levels.
Deactivation and memory are specific to Ni-MH
batteries and are not in fact battery faults. See P.76
for the procedure for “Discharging rechargeable
batteries”.
Do not use the “Discharging rechargeable
batteries” function when alkaline batteries are
being used.
h To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the quick battery
charger (sold separately). Refer to the instructions
supplied with the charger to ensure that the charger
is used correctly.
h Do not use the battery charger to charge other
batteries.
h Note that the batteries feel warm after being
charged.
h Due to the way the camera is constructed, a small
amount of current is used even when the camera is
turned off. Note in particular that leaving AA-size Ni-
MH batteries and the Rechargeable Battery NH-10
in the camera for a long period will overdischarge
the batteries and may render them unusable even
after recharging.
h Ni-MH batteries and the Rechargeable Battery NH-
10 will self-discharge even when not used, and the
time for which they can be used may be shortened
as a result.
h The rechargeable battery NH-10 can be charged by
setting the camera in the PictureCradle CP-FXA10
(sold separately).
h Ni-MH batteries cannot be charged using a
combination of the camera and the cradle.
h Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if
overdischarged (eg. by discharging the batteries in a
flashlight). Use the “Discharging rechargeable
batteries” function provided in the camera to
discharge the batteries.
h Ni-MH batteries have a limited service life. If a
battery can only be used for a short time even after
Using the AA-size Ni-MH Batteries and the
Rechargeable Battery NH-10 Correctly
repeated discharge-charge cycles, it may have
reached the end of its service life.

Notes on the xD-Picture Card™
Image Memory Card
h This Image Memory Card is a new image recording
media (xD-Picture Card) developed for digital
cameras. The Image Memory Card consists of a
semiconductor memory (NAND-type flash memory)
to record digital image data.
The recording process is electrically performed and
enables erasure of existing image data as well as re-
recording of new image data.
h When using a new Memory Card, or a Memory Card
that has been formatted by a PC, be sure to format
the card with your digital camera before using it.
Protecting Your Data
h Images and movies may be lost or destroyed in the
following situations. Please note that FUJIFILM
assumes no responsibility for data that is lost or
destroyed.
1. Removal of the memory card or turning the power
off while the memory card is being accessed (i.e.,
during record, erase, initialization, and playback
operations).
2. Improper handling and use of the memory card by
the user or third party.
h Save your important data to another media (i.e., MO
disk, CD-R, hard disk, etc.).
Handling xD-Picture Card
h When storing xD-Picture Cards, make sure that they
are kept out of the reach of children. An xD-Picture
Card could be swallowed cause suffocation. If a child
swallows an xD-Picture Card, seek medical
attention or call emergency number right away.
h When inserting the xD-Picture Card into the camera,
hold the xD-Picture Card straight as you push it in.
h xD-Picture Card are precision electronic devices.
Do not bend, drop or otherwise subject the xD-
Picture Card to strong force or shocks.
h Do not use or store xD-Picture Card in hot humid
places or in places where they are exposed to
corrosive substances.
h Clean the xD-Picture Card with a soft dry piece of
cloth when dirty.
h When carrying or storing an xD-Picture Card, keep
it in the special protective case.
h The xD-Picture Card will work well for long time, but
will sooner or later lose its ability to store and play
back images or movies. If this happens replace it
with a new xD-Picture Card.
h Never remove the xD-Picture Card or turn the
camera off during data recording or erasing (xD-
Picture Card formatting) as this could be damaged
to the xD-Picture Card.
h The use of xD-Picture Cards is recommended with
the FinePix A330/FinePix A340.
The recording quality cannot be guaranteed when
an xD-Picture Card other than those manufactured
by FUJIFILM are used.
h The xD-Picture Card may feel warm when it is
removed from the camera after taking pictures. This
is normal.
h Do not put labels on the xD-Picture Card. Peeling
labels can cause the camera not to work properly.
Using xD-Picture Card with a PC
h When you take pictures using an xD-Picture Card
that has been used on a PC, reformat the xD-
Picture Card using your camera for best quality.
h When you format an xD-Picture Card, a directory
(folder) is created. Image data is then recorded in
this directory.
h Do not change or delete the directory (folder) or file
names on the xD-Picture Card because this will
make it impossible to use the xD-Picture Card in
your camera.
h Always use the camera to erase image data on an
xD-Picture Card.
h To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC
and edit the copy.
h Do not copy files other than those that will be used
by the camera.

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.
DPOF:
Digital Print Order Format
DPOF is a format used for recording information on a storage media (image memory card, etc.) that allows you to
specify which of the frames shot using a digital camera are to be printed and how many prints are made of each
image.
EV:
A number that 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.
JPEG:
Joint Photographics 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.
PC Card:
A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card Standard.
PC Card Standard:
A standard for PC cards determined by the PCMCIA.
PCMCIA:
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (US).
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.
