For Your Safety
Power Supply and Battery
* Confirm your battery type before read-
ing the following descriptions.
The following explains proper use of
batteries and how to prolong their
life. Incorrect use of batteries can
cause shorter battery life, as well as
leakage, excessive heat, fire or explo-
sion.
1
Camera uses the Rechargeable
Lithium-ion Ba
ttery
* When shipped, the battery is not
fully charged. Always charge the
battery before using it.
* When carrying the battery, install it
in a digital camera or keep it in the
soft case.
Battery Features
The battery gradually loses its
charge even when not used. Use
a battery that has been charged
recently (in the last day or two) to
take pictures.
To maximize the life of the battery,
turn the camera off as quickly as
possible when it is not being used.
The number of available frames will
be lower in cold locations or at low
temperatures. Take along a spare
fully charged battery. You can also
increase the amount of power pro-
duced by putting the battery in
your pocket or another warm place
to heat it and then loading it into
the camera just before you take a
picture.
If you are using a heating pad, take
care not to place the battery di-
rectly against the pad. The camera
may not operate if you use a de-
pleted battery in cold conditions.
Charging the Battery
• You can charge the battery using
the battery charger (included).
- The battery can be charged
at ambient temperatures be-
tween 0°C and +40°C (+32°F
and +104°F). Refer to the Owner’s
Manual for the time of charging
battery.
- You should charge the battery
at an ambient temperature be-
tween +10°C and +3C (+50°F
and +95°F). If you charge the
battery at a temperature outside
this range, charging takes longer
because the performance of the
battery is impaired.
- You cannot charge the battery
at temperatures of 0°C (+32°F) or
below.
The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Bat-
tery does not need to be fully dis-
charged or exhausted flat before
being charged.
The battery may feel warm after it
has been charged or immediately
after being used. This is perfectly
normal.
Do not recharge a fully charged
battery.
Battery Life
At normal temperatures, the bat-
tery can be used at least 300 times.
If the time for which the battery
provides power shortens markedly,
this indicates that the battery has
reached the end of its effective life
and should be replaced.
Notes on storage
If a battery is stored for long periods
while charged, the performance of
the battery can be impaired. If the
battery will not be used for some
time, run the battery out before
storing it.
If you do not intend to use the
camera for a long period of time,
remove the battery from the cam-
era.
Store the battery in a cool place.
- The battery should be stored in
a dry location with an ambient
temperature between +15°C and
+25°C (+59°F and +77°F).
- Do not leave the battery in hot or
extremely cold places.
Handling the Battery
Cautions for Your Safety:
Do not carry or store battery with
metal objects such as necklaces or
hairpins.
Do not heat the battery or throw it
into a fire.
Do not attempt to take apart or
change the battery.
• Do not recharge the battery with
chargers other those specified.
Dispose of used battery promptly.
Do not drop the battery or other-
wise subject it to strong impacts.
Do not expose the battery to wa-
ter.
Always keep the battery terminals
clean.
Do not store batteries in hot plac-
es. Also, if you use the battery for
a long period, the camera body
and the battery itself will become
warm. This is normal. Use the AC
power adapter if you are taking
pictures or viewing images for a
long period of time.
2
Camera uses AA Alkaline,
Rechargeable Ni-MH (nick
el-metal
hydride) or AA lithium batteries
* For details on the batteries that
you can use, refer to the Owner’s
Manual of your camera.
Cautions for Using Battery
Do not heat the batteries or throw
them into a fire.
• Do not carry or store batteries with
metal objects such as necklaces or
hairpins.
Do not expose the batteries to wa-
ter, and keep batteries from getting
wet or stored in moist locations.
Do not attempt to take apart or
change the batteries, including
battery casings.
Do not subject the batteries to
strong impacts.
Do not use batteries that are leak-
ing, deformed, discolored.
vii
For Your Safety
Do not store batteries in warm or
humid places.
Keep the batteries out of reach of
babies and small children.
Make sure that the battery polarity
(C and D) is correct.
Do not use new with used batter-
ies. Do not use charged and dis-
charged batteries together.
Do not use different types or
brands of batteries at the same
time.
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.
The batteries feel warm right af-
ter being used. Before removing
the batteries, turn the camera off
and wait for the batteries to cool
down.
Since batteries do not work well in
cold weather or locations, warm
the batteries by placing them in-
side your garments before use.
Batteries do not work well when
cold. They will work again when
the temperature returns to normal.
Soil (such as fingerprints) on the
battery terminals makes the bat-
teries charge less reducing the
number of images. 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 thor-
oughly 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.
Using the AA-size Ni-MH batteries
correctly
Ni-MH batteries left unused in
storage for long periods can be-
come “deactivated”. Also, repeat-
edly 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 prob-
lem 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.
Deactivation and memory are spe-
cific to Ni-MH batteries and are not
in fact battery faults.
See Owner’s Manual for the proce-
dure for “Discharging rechargeable
batteries”.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Do not use the “Discharging re-
chargeable batteries” function when
alkaline batteries being used.
To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the
quick battery charger (sold sepa-
rately). Refer to the instructions
supplied with the charger to make
sure that the charger is used cor-
rectly.
Do not use the battery charger to
charge other batteries.
Note that the batteries feel warm
after being charged.
Due to the way the camera is con-
structed, a small amount of current
is used even when the camera is
turned off. Note in particular that
leaving Ni-MH batteries in the
camera for a long period will over-
discharge the batteries and may
render them unusable even after
recharging.
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.
Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate
rapidly if over-discharged (e.g.
by discharging the batteries in a
flashlight). Use the “Discharging re-
chargeable batteries” function pro-
vided in the camera to discharge
the batteries.
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.
Disposing of Batteries
When disposing of batteries, do
so in accordance with your local
waste disposal regulations.

Introduction
The Electronic Viewfinder (EVF)
The electronic viewfinder provides the same information as the monitor,
and can be used when bright lighting conditions make the display in the
monitor difficult to see. To switch between the monitor and electronic
viewfinder, press the EVF/LCD button (your selection remains in effect
when the camera is turned off or the mode dial is rotated to another
setting).
Bright Ambient Lighting
Reflections and glare caused by bright ambient lighting may make it hard to see the display in the monitor,
particularly when the camera is used outdoors. This can be addressed by holding the EVF/LCD button to trigger
outdoor mode. Outdoor mode can also be enabled using the T MONITOR SUNLIGHT MODE option in the
setup menu (P 98).
Diopter adjustment control
The camera is equipped with diopter adjustment to accommodate indi-
vidual differences in vision. Slide the diopter adjustment control up and
down until the viewfinder display is in sharp focus.

Strong sunlight focused through the viewfinder may damage the panel of electronic viewfinder (EVF). Do not
aim the electronic viewfinder at the sun.

teries is supplied with the camera. Insert the batteries in the camera as described below.
1
Open the battery-chamber cover.
Slide the battery-cham-
ber latch in the direction
shown and open the
battery-chamber cover.
1
Be sure the camera is off before opening the bat-
tery-chamber cover.
3
Do not open the battery-chamber cover when
the camera is on. Failure to observe this pre-
caution could result in damage to image files or
memory cards.
Do not use excessive force when handling the
battery-chamber cover.

ies with different charge levels,
or batteries of different types.
Failure to observe these
precautions could result
in the batteries leaking or
overheating.
Never use manganese or Ni-Cd batteries.

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.
Format SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards before first use, and be sure to reformat all memory cards after using
them in a computer or other device. For more information on formatting memory cards, see page 101.
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.
miniSD or microSD adapters that are larger or smaller than the standard dimensions of an SD/SDHC/SDXC 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 affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.
Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card. Use a y card or
better when shooting HD movies.
Formatting a memory card 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 files. Always use the camera to
delete pictures from memory cards; before editing or renaming files, copy them to a computer and edit or re-
name the copies, not the originals.

When the side lever is set to H, M or L, the side lever
functions as same as the zoom lever.
When setting the side lever to H, the side lever can
zoom faster than zoom lever. In the same way when
setting the side lever to L, the side lever can zoom
slower than zoom lever.
When using the zoom control and side lever simulta-
neously, the zoom control is activated.
2 Focus Lock
Use focus lock (P 37) to focus on subjects that are not
in the focus frame.
Auto back zoom
In the setup menu (P 96), you can change the set-
ting of the side lever. Select W SIDE ZOOM LEVER
then AUTO BACK to enable auto back zoom. Auto
back zoom allows the camera to zoom out and in
quickly. It makes it easy to find the lost subject when
zooming in.
Holding the Camera
Hold the camera steady with
both hands and brace your
elbows against your sides.
Shaking or unsteady hands
can blur your shots.
To prevent pictures that are
out of focus or too dark (un-
derexposed), keep your fin-
gers and other objects away
from the lens and flash.
Avoiding Blurred Pictures
If the subject is poorly lit, blurring caused by camera
shake can be reduced using the L DUAL IS MODE
option in the setup menu (P 98). In B mode, blur
caused by subject movement is also reduced (dual
IS mode).
Sensitivity is raised when dual IS is in effect. Note that
blurring may still occur depending on the scene. We
recommend that you turn dual IS off when using a
tripod.

Panoramas are created from multiple frames. The
camera may in some cases record a greater or lesser
angle than selected or be unable to stitch the frames
together perfectly. The last part of the panorama
may not be recorded if shooting ends before the
panorama is complete.
Shooting may be interrupted if the camera is panned
too quickly or too slowly. Panning the camera in a
direction other than that shown cancels shooting.
The desired results may not be achieved with mov-
ing subjects, subjects close to the camera, unvarying
subjects such as the sky or a field of grass, subjects
that are in constant motion, such as waves and wa-
terfalls, or subjects that undergo marked changes in
brightness. Panoramas may be blurred if the subject
is poorly lit.
For Best Results
For best results, move the camera in a small circle at
a steady speed, keeping the camera horizontal and
being careful only to pan in the direction shown by
the guides. If the desired results are not achieved, try
panning at a different speed.

Very shiny subjects such
as mirrors or car bodies.
• Fast-moving subjects.
Subjects photographed through a window or other
reflective object.
Dark subjects and subjects that absorb rather than
reflect light, such as hair or fur.
Insubstantial subjects, such as smoke or flame.
Subjects that show little contrast with the back-
ground (for example, subjects in clothing that is the
same color as the background).
• Subjects positioned in front of or behind a high-
contrast object that is also in the focus frame (for
example, a subject photographed against a back-
drop of highly contrasting elements).

N Using the Flash (Intelligent Flash)
When the flash is used, the camera’s Intelligent Flash system instantly analyzes the scene based on
such factors as the brightness of the subject, its position in the frame, and its distance from the camera.
Flash output and sensitivity are adjusted to ensure that the main subject is correctly exposed while
preserving the effects of ambient background lighting, even in dimly-lit indoor scenes. Use the flash
when lighting is poor, for example when shooting at night or indoors under low light.
1
Raise the flash.
Press the flash pop-up button to raise the flash.

Caring for the Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of the product, observe the following precautions.
Storage and Use
Storage and Use
If the camera will not be used for an extended pe-
riod, remove the battery and memory card. Do
not store or use the camera in locations that are:
exposed to rain, steam, or smoke
very humid or extremely dusty
exposed to direct sunlight or very high tempera-
tures, such as in a closed vehicle on a sunny day
• extremely cold
subject to strong vibration
exposed to strong magnetic fields, such as near
a broadcasting antenna, power line, radar emit-
ter, motor, transformer, or magnet
in contact with volatile chemicals such as pesti-
cides
next to rubber or vinyl products
Water and Sand
Water and Sand
Exposure to water and sand can also damage the
camera and its internal circuitry and mechanisms.
When using the camera at the beach or seaside,
avoid exposing the camera to water or sand. Do
not place the camera on a wet surface.
Condensation
Condensation
Sudden increases in temperature, such as occur
when entering a heated building on a cold day,
can cause condensation inside the camera. If this
occurs, turn the camera off and wait an hour be-
fore turning it on again. If condensation forms on
the memory card, remove the card and wait for
the condensation to dissipate.
Cleaning
Cleaning
Use a blower to remove dust from the lens and
monitor, then gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
Any remaining stains can be removed by wiping
gently with a piece of FUJIFILM lens-cleaning pa-
per to which a small amount of lens-cleaning fluid
has been applied. Care should be taken to avoid
scratching the lens or monitor. The camera body
can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use
alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Traveling
Traveling
Keep the camera in your carry-on baggage.
Checked baggage may suffer violent shocks that
could damage the camera.
