Battery capacity varies with make
and storage conditions. Some com-
mercially-available batteries may
have less capacity than the batteries
provided with the camera.
Cautions: Handling Batteries
• Do not use batteries that are leak-
ing, deformed, or discolored. Warn-
ing: If the batteries leak, clean the
battery compartment thoroughly
before inserting new batteries. If
fl uid from the battery comes into
contact with skin or clothing, fl ush
the aff ected area with water. If
fl uid enters your eyes, immediately fl ush
the aff ected area with water and seek
medical attention. Do not rub your eyes.
Failure to observe this precaution could
result in loss of eyesight.
• Do not transport or store with
metal objects such as necklaces or
hairpins.
• Do not disassemble or modify the
batteries or battery casing.
• Do not expose to strong physical
shocks.
• Do not expose to water, fl ame, or
heat, or store in warm or humid
conditions.
• Keep out of reach of infants and
small children.
• Insert in the correct orientation.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
batteries with diff erent charge lev-
els, or batteries of diff erent types.
• If the camera will not be used for
an extended period, remove the
batteries. Note that the camera
clock will be reset (pg. 9).
• The batteries may be warm to the
touch immediately after use. Turn
the camera off and allow the bat-
teries to cool before handling.
• Battery capacity tends to decrease
at low temperatures. Keep spare
batteries in a pocket or other warm
place and exchange as necessary.
Cold batteries may recover some
of their charge when warmed.
• Fingerprints and other foreign
matter on the battery terminals
can reduce battery performance.
Thoroughly clean the terminals
with a soft, dry cloth before insert-
ing the batteries in the camera.
Ni-MH Batteries
The capacity of Ni-MH batteries may
be temporarily reduced when new,
after long periods of disuse, or if they
are repeatedly recharged before be-
ing fully discharged. This is normal
and does not indicate a malfunction.
Capacity can be increased by repeat-
edly discharging the batteries using
the o DISCHARGE option in the
camera setup menu (pg. 64) and re-
charging them using a battery char-
ger (sold separately). Do not use this
option with alkaline batteries.
The camera draws a small amount
of current even when off . Ni-MH
batteries that have been left in the
camera for an extended period may
be drawn down to the point that
they no longer hold a charge. Bat-
tery performance may also drop
if the batteries are run down in a
device such as a fl ashlight. Use the
o DISCHARGE option in the cam-
era setup menu to discharge Ni-MH
batteries. Batteries that no longer
hold a charge even after repeatedly
being discharged and recharged
have reached the end of their service
life and must be replaced.
Ni-MH batteries can be recharged in
a battery charger (sold separately).
Batteries may become warm to the
touch after charging. Refer to the in-
structions provided with the charger
for more information. Use the char-
ger with compatible batteries only.
Ni-MH batteries gradually lose their
charge when not in use.
Disposal
Dispose of used batteries in accord
with local regulations.
Using the Camera
To ensure that images are recorded
correctly, do not subject the camera
to impact or physical shocks while
images are being recorded.
Electrical Interference
This camera may interfere with hos-
pital or aviation equipment. Consult
with hospital or airline staff before
using the camera in a hospital or on
an aircraft.
For Your Safety
Liquid Crystal
In the event that the monitor is dam-
aged, care should be taken to avoid
contact with liquid crystal. Take the
urgent action indicated should any
of the following situations arise:
• If liquid crystal comes in contact with
your skin, clean the area with a cloth
and then wash thoroughly with
soap and running water.
• If liquid crystal enters your eyes, fl ush
the aff ected eye with clean water
for at least 15 minutes and then
seek medical assistance.
• If liquid crystal is swallowed, rinse
your mouth thoroughly with water.
Drink large quantities of water and
induce vomiting, then seek medi-
cal assistance.
Take Test Shots
Before taking photographs on impor-
tant occasions (such as at weddings
or before taking the camera on a trip),
take a test shot and view the result in
the monitor to ensure that the cam-
era is functioning normally. FUJIFILM
Corporation can not accept liability
for damages or lost profi ts incurred
as a result of product malfunction.
