Notes on the Power Supply

h Use only nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries with

this camera. AA size alkaline, AA-size manganese or

lithium batteries cannot be used.

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 the batteries with metal objects

such as necklaces or hairpins that could come into

contact with the metal positive ≠ and negative – poles

of the battery.

h Do not expose the batteries to fresh or sea water, and

take particular care to keep the terminals dry.

h Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the

batteries.

h Do not attempt to peel off or cut the battery casing.

h Do not drop, strike or otherwise subject the batteries to

strong impacts.

h Do not use the batteries that are leaking, deformed,

discolored or exhibit any other obvious abnormality.

h Do not store the batteries in very warm or moist

locations.

h Keep the batteries out of reach of infant and young

children.

h When loading the batteries into the camera, ensure that

the battery polarity (

≠ and –) is as indicated on the

camera.

h Do not use new batteries together with used batteries.

In the case of rechargeable batteries, do not use

charged and discharged batteries together. Do not use

batteries of different types or brands together.

h If you do not intend to use the camera for a long

period of time, remove the batteries from the camera

(Note that if the camera is left with the batteries

removed, the time and date settings are cleared).

h The batteries may feel warm immediately after being

used. Before removing the batteries, switch the

camera off and wait until the batteries cool down.

h When replacing the batteries, always fit 4 new

batteries.

Here, ‘new batteries’ refers to Ni-MH (nickel metal

hydride) batteries that have recently been fully

recharged together.

h In cold locations (at temperatures of +10°C/+50°F or

below), battery performance deteriorates and the time

for which they can be used shortens markedly. In cold

conditions, put the batteries in your pocket or a similar

place to warm them before loading them into the

camera. If you use a body warmer to warm the

batteries, ensure that they are not in direct contact

with the warmer.

h Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals can

markedly reduce the number of available shots.

Carefully wipe the battery terminals clean with a soft

dry cloth before loading the batteries.

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.

■ Disposing of Batteries

When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with your

local waste disposal regulations.

h As a power source in digital cameras, AA-size 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.107

for the procedure for “Discharging rechargeable

batteries”.

h To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the battery charger

(included). Refer to P.21 to make sure 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 in the camera for a long period will

overdischarge the batteries and may render them

unusable even after recharging.

h Ni-MH batteries will self-discharge even when not

used, and the time for which they can be used may be

shortened as a result.

h Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if

overdischarged (e.g. 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 repeated

discharge-charge cycles, it may have reached the end

of its service life.

If this does not remove the soiling, repeat steps 3 to 5 with a new Sensor swab or contact an

authorized FUJIFILM dealer.

Always use this procedure to clean the CCD. Never clean the CCD in bulb photography mode.

A current runs through the CCD in bulb photography mode and cleaning could cause damage.

●

Do not use the swab when it is dry or not moistened with

cleaning fluid.

●

When you turn the camera off, the mirror drops down and the

shutter closes at the same time. Take care to ensure that

your fingers are not caught inside the camera.

◆

Ensure that you have the cleaning equipment ready

h Cleaning swabs

Sensor Swab (Photographic Solutions, Inc.)

✽ For information on suppliers outside Japan, visit the web site listed below

(http://www.photosol.com/swabproduct.htm).

h Cleaning fluid

Anhydrous ethanol, EE Cleaner (Olympus)

Moisten the bottom 5 mm (0.2 in) of the Sensor

swab evenly with cleaning fluid.

Slowly and gently wipe one side of the swab just

once across the full width of the CCD from left to

right.

Then wipe the other side of the Sensor swab across the full width of the CCD from left to right

once more. Do not reuse Sensor swabs.

Turn the camera off and mount the lens or body

cap on the camera.
