Inserting a Memory Card
Although the camera can store pictures in internal memory, SD memory cards (sold separately) can
be used to store additional pictures.
When no memory card is inserted, d appears in the monitor and internal memory is used for recording
and playback. Note that because camera malfunction could cause internal memory to become
corrupted, the pictures in internal memory should periodically be transferred to a computer and
saved on the computer hard disk or on removable media such as CDs or DVDs. The pictures in
internal memory can also be copied to a memory card (see page 81). To prevent internal memory
from becoming full, be sure to delete pictures when they are no longer needed.
When a memory card is inserted as described below, the card will be used for recording and playback.
Compatible Memory Cards
Compatible Memory Cards
SanDisk SD and SDHC memory cards have been tested and approved for use in the camera. A
complete list of approved memory cards is available at http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_
cameras/index.html. Operation is not guaranteed with other cards. The camera can not be used with
MultiMediaCard (MMC) or xD-Picture Cards.
When recording high-definition movies, use a memory card rated at Class 4 (write speed of 4 MB per
second) or higher.
Caution
SD memory cards can be locked, making it impossible to format the card
or to record or delete images. Before inserting an SD memory card, slide
the write-protect switch to the unlocked position.

your finger immediately after pushing the card in.
Memory cards may be warm to the touch after
being removed from the camera. This is normal
and does not indicate a malfunction.
11
Inserting a Memory Card
First Steps
Caution
Format SD 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 89.
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 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 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.
Do not affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels
can cause camera malfunction.
Movie recording may be interrupted with some
types of SD memory card.
The data in internal memory may be erased or
corrupted when the camera is repaired. Please note
that the repairer will be able to view pictures in
internal memory.
Formatting a memory card or internal memory 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 and internal memory; before
editing or renaming files, copy them to a computer
and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.

Glossary
Digital zoom: Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of visible detail. Instead, details
visible using optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image.
EV (Exposure Value): The exposure value is determined by the sensitivity of the image sensor and the amount
of light that enters the camera while the image sensor is exposed. Each time the amount of light doubles, EV
increases by one; each time the amount of light is halved, EV decreases by one. The amount of light entering the
camera can be controlled by adjusting aperture and shutter speed.
Exif Print: A standard that allows information stored with pictures to be used for optimal color reproduction
during printing.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): A compressed file format for color images. The higher the compression
rate, the greater the loss of information and more noticeable drop in quality when the picture is displayed.
Motion JPEG: An AVI (Audio Video Interleave) format that stores sound and JPEG images in a single file. Motion
JPEG files can be played in Windows Media Player (requires DirectX 8.0 or later) or QuickTime 3.0 or later.
Smear: A phenomenon specific to CCDs which causes white streaks to appear when very bright light sources,
such as the sun or reflected sunlight, appear in the frame.
White balance: The human brain automatically adapts to changes in the color of light, with the result that objects
that appear white under one light source still appear white when the color of the light source changes. Digital
cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This
process is known as “white balance.”

Internal Memory/Memory Card Capacity
The following table shows the recording time or number of pictures available at different image
qualities. All figures are approximate; file size varies with the scene recorded, producing wide
variations in the number of files that can be stored. The number of exposures or length remaining
may not diminish at an even rate. You can take a few pictures for trial without a memory card.

Notes on the Battery and Battery Charger
The battery and charger may become warm to the touch during charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a malfunction. If possible, charge the battery in a well-ventilated location.
The battery charger may vibrate when in use. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
If the charger causes radio interference, increase the distance between the charger and the radio receiver.
Do not leave the charger in locations that are very dusty or exposed to strong vibration, extreme humidity, or
high temperatures (for example, in direct sunlight or next to a heater).
The battery charger can be used with input voltages of 100240 V AC and 50 or 60 Hz. The shape of the plug
varies with the country of sale; consult your travel agent to determine whether the charger can be used
abroad.

Notices
Specifications subject to change without notice. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting from
errors in this manual.
Although the monitor is manufactured using advanced high-precision technology, small bright points and
anomalous colors (particularly in the vicinity of text) may appear. This is normal for this type of monitor and
does not indicate a malfunction; images recorded with the camera are unaffected.
Digital cameras may malfunction when exposed to strong radio interference (e.g., electric fields, static
electricity, or line noise).
Due to the type of lens used, some distortion may occur at the periphery of images. This is normal.

Appendix
Notes and Cautions
Power Supply and Battery
* Confirm your battery type before reading
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 explosion.
1
Camera uses the Rechargeable
Lithium-ion Battery
* 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 produced 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
directly against the pad. The
camera may not operate if you
use a depleted 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 between
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
between +1C and +35°C
(+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
Battery does not need to be fully
discharged 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 battery
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
camera.
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 (+5F 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
otherwise subject it to strong
impacts.
Do not expose the battery to
water.
Always keep the battery terminals
clean.
Do not store batteries in hot
places. 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-size alkaline
or Ni-MH (nickelmetal hydride)
rechargeable batteries
* For details on the batteries that
you can use, refer to the OWNER’S
MANUAL of your camera.
Cautions for Using Battey
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
water, 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.
118
Notes and Cautions
Do not use batteries that are
leaking, deformed, discolored.
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
(E and F) is correct.
Do not use new with used
batteries. Do not use charged and
discharged 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 after
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
inside 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
batteries 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
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.
Using the AA-size Ni-MH batteries
correctly
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
aredeactivated” 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.
Deactivation and memory are
specific to Ni-MH batteries and are
not in fact battery faults.
See OWNER’S MANUAL for the
procedure for “Discharging
rechargeable batteries.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Do not use the “Discharging
rechargeable batteries” function
when alkaline batteries being used.
To charge Ni-MH batteries,
use the quick battery charger
(sold separately). Refer to the
instructions supplied with the
charger to make sure that the
charger is used correctly.
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
constructed, 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 overdischarge 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 overdischarged (e.g.
by discharging the batteries in a
flashlight). Use the “Discharging
rechargeable batteries” function
provided 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.
