SETTING THE DATE AND TIME

●

Use only the FUJIFILM products listed above.

●

See P.116 for notes on using the AC power adapter.

●

Only connect or disconnect the AC power adapter when

the camera is switched off.

Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter while

the camera is switched on temporarily interrupts the

being shot at the time are not recorded. Failing to switch

the camera off first can also result in damage to the

SmartMedia or malfunctions during PC connection.

●

Charging times increase at low temperatures.

●

If the self-timer lamp flashes during charging, a charging

error has occurred and the battery cannot be charged. If

this occurs, see P.122.

●

Switching the camera on during charging interrupts the

charging.

●

You can charge the battery more quickly by using the

BC-60 Battery Charger (sold separately) (➡P.111).

●

The shape of the plug and socket-outlet depends on the

country of use.

●

If the photography mode is “R”, use the Auto

Flash mode.

●

When the flash is popped up or you are using the

flash to take pictures, you may see the video image

disappear and the screen go dark as the flash

charges. The viewfinder lamp flashes orange while

the flash is charging.

●

If you use the flash in very dusty environments or

when it is snowing, the flash may reflect off

snowflakes or floating dust particles so that they

appear as glowing white dots on your image.

24 25

To take the picture, press the shutter button

down fully without lifting your finger off it. The

camera beeps and takes the picture, and the

data is then recorded.

●

If you press the shutter button down fully in one

motion, the shot is taken without the AF frame

changing.

●

When you take a picture, the viewfinder lamp lights

orange (camera not ready) before switching back to

green to indicate that the camera is again ready for

shooting.

●

The viewfinder lamp flashes orange while the flash is

charging. If the LCD monitor is switched on, the

screen may go dark for a moment. This is normal

and does not indicate a fault.

●

See P.119-121 for information on the warning

displays.

TAKING PICTURES

(

AUTO MODE

)

Using the viewfinder or LCD monitor, frame your

shot so that the subject fills the entire AF (Auto

Focus) frame.

●

If your subject is not in the center of the picture, use

AF/AE lock to take the picture (➡P.28).

When you are using the viewfinder to take a

picture at a distance of 0.8 m to 1.5 m (2.6 ft. to

4.8 ft.), only the shaded area in the figure is

photographed.

AF frame

●

To frame your shot precisely, you should take the

picture using the LCD monitor.

●

In some conditions it may be difficult to see your

subject clearly on the LCD monitor (Such as in

sunny weather outdoors or when you are shooting

dimly lit scenes). In such situations, use the

viewfinder to take the shot.

●

The image shown on the LCD monitor before you

take the shot may differ in its brightness, color, etc.

from the image actually recorded. If necessary, play

back the recorded image to check it (➡P.32).

LCD monitor

Viewfinder

When you press the shutter button down halfway, the

camera emits a short double-beep and focuses on your

subject (the viewfinder lamp (green) changes from

blinking to steady). At that point, the AF frame on the

screen becomes smaller and the camera sets the

shutter speed and aperture.

●

If the camera does not emit a short double-beep and “V”

appears on the screen, the camera cannot focus.

●

When you press the shutter button down halfway, the image

on the screen freezes temporarily. However, this image is not

the recorded image.

●

If “V” is displayed on the screen (e.g. the shot is too dark

for the camera to focus), try standing about 2 m (6.6 ft.) from

your subject to take the picture.

26 27

Number of Available Frames

■ Standard number of shots per SmartMedia

Because the amount of data recorded varies depending on the subject, the number of available shots may not

decrease when recording ends, or may decrease by 2 frames. Also, the discrepancy between the actual number of

shots and the standard number of shots tends to be larger when there is more space remaining on the SmartMedia.

◆

Red-Eye Effect

◆

When you use the flash to photograph people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes appear

red in the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye. Use

Red-Eye Reduction flash to effectively minimize the likelihood of the red-eye effect.

Take the following measures also to make Red-Eye Reduction more effective:

h Get the subjects to look at the camera. h Get as close as possible to the subjects.

●

If the photography mode is “R”, use the Auto

Flash mode.

●

When you pop the flash up, the image shown on the

screen may disappear and the screen may go dark

because the flash is charging. In this event, the

viewfinder lamp flashes orange.

●

If you use the flash in very dusty environments or

when it is snowing, the flash may reflect off

snowflakes or floating dust particles so that they

appear as glowing white dots on your image.

FLASH

PHOTOGRAPHY MENU

Use the menu to select the flash mode you want

to use. The “c”, “n”, “z” or “v” icon appears

on the LCD monitor while you are using the flash.

●

Depending on the photography mode and setting,

the flash mode may be automatically set to

“Suppressed Flash”.

58 59

Suppressed Flash

Pressing the flash down switches the camera to

Suppressed Flash mode.

Use this mode for photography using indoor

lighting, for shots taken through glass, and for

photography in venues such as theaters or at

indoor sporting events where the distance is too

great for the flash to be effective. When you use

Suppressed Flash, the Auto White Balance

function (➡P.129) operates so that natural colors

are captured along with the ambience of the

available light.

●

If you are shooting in Suppressed Flash mode in dark

conditions, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.

●

See P.26, 120 for information on the camera shake

warning.

Forced Flash

Use this flash mode to photograph backlit

scenes, such as a subject against a window or

in the shade of a tree, or to obtain the correct

colors when you are shooting under lighting

such as fluorescent tubes. In this mode, the

flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions.

This is a flash mode that uses a slow shutter

speed. This allows you to take pictures of people

at night that clearly show both your subjects and

the nighttime backdrop.

Slow Synchro

●

The image may be overexposed when you shoot

bright scenes.

●

Because a slow shutter speed is used, a tripod

should be used to prevent camera shake.

hMULTI

In this mode, the camera uses automatic

scene recognition to analyze the subject

and provide optimum exposure in a wide

range of shooting conditions. This mode

should be used for everyday photography.

hSPOT

This mode is useful for subjects with

strongly contrasting bright and dark areas

where you want to achieve the correct

exposure for a particular feature.

hAVERAGE

The advantage of this mode is that the

exposure tends not to change for different

compositions or subjects. This mode is

particularly effective for shots of people

wearing black or white clothing and shots of

scenery.

This mode can be selected in the “W ”

photography mode.

Use this mode for scenes where the brightness

of the subject and background differ markedly so

that the Multi setting is unlikely to achieve the

desired result.

Notes on the SmartMedia

™

■SmartMedia

The SmartMedia card supplied with your FinePix F601

ZOOM camera is a new image recording medium

developed especially for use in digital cameras. Each

SmartMedia card contains a built-in semiconductor

memory chip (NAND flash memory) which is used for

storing digital image data.

Because the data is stored electronically, the stored image

data can be erased from the card and new data recorded.

■SmartMedia with IDs

The SmartMedia ID is a SmartMedia that has an

individually assigned identification number. SmartMedia

ID cards can be used with devices that use ID numbers

for copyright protection or other purposes. This camera

accepts SmartMedia ID cards in the same way as

conventional SmartMedia cards.

■Storing Data

In the situations listed below, recorded data may be

erased (destroyed). Please note that Fuji Photo Film

Co., Ltd. accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the

loss (destruction) of recorded data.

✽ When the SmartMedia is used incorrectly by the

owner or a third party

✽ When the SmartMedia is exposed to static electricity

or electrical noise

✽ When the battery cover is opened or the SmartMedia

removed and the camera is then switched off during

data recording, during data erasing (SmartMedia

formatting) or during frame advance when images are

being played back.

Back up important data onto another medium.

(MO disk, floppy disk, hard disk, etc.)

■Notes on Handling SmartMedia

h Take care to hold the SmartMedia straight when you

load it into your camera.

h Never remove the SmartMedia or switch the camera

off during data recording, during data erasing

(SmartMedia formatting) or during frame advance

when images are being played back. These actions

could result in damage to the SmartMedia.

h Use only the SmartMedia specified for use with the

FinePix F601 ZOOM. The use of other SmartMedia

could damage the camera.

h SmartMedia are precision electronic devices. Do not

bend, drop, or subject SmartMedia to excessive

shocks.

h Do not use or store SmartMedia in environments

likely to be affected by strong static electricity or

electrical noise.

h Do not use or store SmartMedia in very hot, humid or

corrosive environments.

h Take care not to touch the SmartMedia’s contact area

or allow the area to become soiled. Use a dry lint-free

cloth to wipe away any soiling that does occur.

h To avoid damage caused by static electricity, always

use the special static-free case provided during

transportation or storage, or keep the SmartMedia in

a storage case if available.

AC Power Adapter

except the specified device.

h During use, the AC power adapter will become hot to

touch, but this is not abnormal.

h Do not disassemble the AC power adapter. Doing so

could be dangerous.

h Do not use the AC power adapter in a place with high

temperature and high humidity.

h Do not drop or subject the AC power adapter to

strong shocks.

h The AC power adapter may emit a humming noise,

but this is not abnormal.

h If used near a radio, the AC power adapter may

cause static, so play the radio in a distant place.

✽ Very occasionally, DC output will be prevented by the

operation of the internal protection circuit. In this

event, unplug the AC-5VS/AC-5VHS AC power

adapter from the power socket for a few moments

and then plug it in again. This will restore DC output.

Notes on the SmartMedia

™

h Do not carry SmartMedia in locations such as a

trouser pocket. This could subject the SmartMedia to

excessive force when you sit down, thereby

damaging the SmartMedia.

h The SmartMedia may feel warm when it is removed

from the camera after extended periods of picture

taking or image viewing. This is normal and does not

indicate a fault.

h Inserting a SmartMedia that is charged with static

electricity into your camera may result in a camera

malfunction. If this occurs, switch the camera off and

then on again.

h Affix the label onto the designated area of the card.

Do not use third-party labels as this can lead to

problems when the card is inserted or removed.

h When you attach the label, take care that it does not

cover any of the write-protect area.

■Notes on Using SmartMedia with a PC

h If you intend to take photos using a SmartMedia that

has been used on a PC, format the SmartMedia on

your camera.

h When you format a SmartMedia in the camera and

then shoot and record images, a directory (folder) is

automatically created. Image data is then recorded in

this directory.

h Do not change or delete the directory (folder) names

or file names on the SmartMedia from your PC as this

will make it impossible to use the SmartMedia in your

camera.

h Always use the camera to erase image data on a

SmartMedia.

h To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC’s

hard disk and then edit the copied data.

Be sure to use your PC’s disk eject function

(right-click the removable disk icon in the “My

Computer” window and then click “Eject”) when

you eject a SmartMedia from the PC card reader

or PC card adapter.

When you are using a USB connection, you

should also select and left-click the eject button

for “USB disc/mass storage” in the taskbar.

✽

These specifications are subject to change without notice.

✽

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.).

The number of shots shown here is an approximate guide to

the number of consecutive shots that can be taken based on

50% flash usage at normal temperatures. However, the actual

number of available shots will vary depending on the ambient

temperature when the camera is used and the amount of

charge in the battery. The number of available shots or

available shooting time will be lower in cold conditions.

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. This camera

use PCM recording.

WAVE files can be played back on a personal

computer using the following software:

Windows : MediaPlayer

Macintosh: QuickTime Player

✽ QuickTime 3.0 or later

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. A function that

automatically matches the white balance is called

an Automatic White Balance function.

Explanation of Terms

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 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.

JPEG:

Joint Photographics Experts Group

A file format used for compressing and saving color

images. The compression ratio can be selected, but

the higher the compression ratio, the poorer the

quality of the expanded image.

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).

VGA/QVGA:

Graphics standards for PCs. Images are displayed

at 640 × 480 and 320 × 240 pixels respectively.
