a fire or electric shock. Contact your FUJIFILM dealer.

Do not use the battery except as specified. Load the battery as

shown by the indicator.

Do not heat, change or take apart the battery. Do not drop or subject

the battery to impacts. Do not store the battery with metallic prod-

ucts. Any of these actions can cause the battery to burst

or leak and cause fire or injury as a result.

For Your Safety

WARNING

CAUTION

Use only the battery or AC power adapters specified for use with this

camera. Do not use voltages other than the power supply voltage

shown. The use of other power sources can cause a fire.

If the battery leaks and fluid gets in contact with your eyes, skin or

clothing, flush the affected area with clean water and seek medical

attention or call an emergency number right away.

Do not use the charger to charge batteries other than those speci-

fied here. The supplied battery charger is for use only with

the type of battery supplied with the camera. Using the

charger to charge conventional batteries or other types

of rechargeable batteries can cause the battery to leak

fluid, overheat or burst.

Do not use this camera in locations affected by oil fumes, steam, hu-

midity or dust. This can cause a fire or electric shock.

Do not leave this camera in places subject to extremely high tem-

peratures. Do not leave the camera in locations such as a

sealed vehicle or in direct sunlight. This can cause a fire.

Keep out of the reach of small children. This product could

cause injury in the hands of a child.

Do not place heavy objects on the camera. This can cause the

heavy object to tip over or fall and cause injury.

Do not move the camera while the AC power adapter is still connect-

ed. Do not pull on the connection cord to disconnect the AC power

adapter. This can damage the power cord or cables and

cause a fire or electric shock.

When carrying the battery, install it in a digital camera or keep it

in the hard case. When storing the battery, keep it in the hard case.

When discarding, cover the battery terminals with insulation tape.

Contact with other metallic objects or batteries could

cause the battery to ignite or burst.

Do not use the AC power adapter when the plug is damaged or

the plug socket connection is loose. This could cause a fire or

electric shock.

Keep memory cards out of the reach of small children. Because

memory cards are small, they can be swallowed by chil-

dren. Be sure to store memory cards out of the reach of

small children. If a child swallows a memory card, seek

medical attention or call an emergency number.

Do not cover or wrap the camera or the AC power adapter in a cloth

or blanket. This can cause heat to build up and distort the

casing or cause a fire.

When you are cleaning the camera or you do not plan to use the cam-

era for an extended period, remove the battery and disconnect and

unplug the AC power adapter. Failure to do so can cause a fire

or electric shock.

When charging ends, unplug the charger from the power socket.

Leaving the charger plugged into the power socket can

cause a fire.

Unplug from

power socket

Using a flash too close to a person’s eyes may temporarily affect the

eyesight. Take particular care when photographing infants

and young children.

When a memory card is removed, the card could come out of the slot

too quickly. Use your finger to hold it and gently release the card.

Injury could result to those struck by the ejected card.

Request regular internal testing and cleaning for your camera.

Build-up of dust in your camera can cause a fire or electric

shock. Contact your FUJIFILM dealer to request internal

cleaning every two years. Please note that this service is

not free of charge.

rechargeable Li-ion battery.

AA Alkalline/Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries

Read this section if your camera uses AA

alkaline or rechargeable AA Ni-MH bat-

teries. Information on compatible bat-

tery types may be found elsewhere in the

camera manual.

The battery is not charged at shipment.

Charge the battery before use. Keep the

battery in its case when not in use.

The battery may be warm to the touch

immediately after charging or use. This

is normal.

■ Notes on the Battery

■ Battery Life

The battery gradually loses its charge

when not in use. Charge the battery one

or two days before use.

At normal temperatures, the battery can

be recharged about 300 times. A notice-

able decrease in the length of time the

battery will hold a charge indicates that it

has reached the end of its service life and

should be replaced.

■ Cautions: Handling the Batteries

• Do not expose to water, flame, or heat,

or store in warm or humid conditions.

• Do not transport or store with metal

objects such as necklaces or hairpins.

• Do not disassemble or modify the bat-

teries or battery casing.

• Do not subject to strong physical

shocks.

• Do not use batteries that are leaking,

• Format SD/SDHC 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 for-

matting memory cards, see“KFORMAT” (P73).

• 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 memory 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 memory card. Use

a G 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; before

editing or renaming files, copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies,

not the originals.
