(,,*P.81),
to ensure
that you
use your camera correctly.
•
Places
to Avoid
Do not store
or use the camera
in the following
types
of locations:
• In the rain or in very
humid,
dirty or dusty
places
gin
direct
sunlight
or in places
subject
to extreme
temperature
rises,
such
as in a closed
car
in
summer
• Extremely
cold places
• Places
subject
to strong
vibration
• Places
affected
by smoke
or steam
• Places
subject
to strong
magnetic
fields
(such
as
near motors,
transformers
or magnets)
• In contact
with chemicals
such
as pesticides
or next
to rubber
or vinyl products
for long periods
of time
•
Notes
on
Immersion
in Water
or Sand
The
FinePix
A2O5/FinePix
A210
is
particularly
adversely
affected
by water
and
sand.
When
you are
at the beach
or close
to water,
ensure
that the camera
is not exposed
to water
or sand.
Take
care
not to
place
the
camera
on a wet
surface.
Water
or sand
inside
the
camera
can
cause
faults
that
may
be
irreparable.
•
Notes
on
Condensation
If the camera
is carried
suddenly
from
a cold
location
into a warm
place,
water
droplets
(condensation)
may
form
on the inside
of the camera
or on the lens.
When
this
occurs,
switch
the camera
off and
wait
an hour
before
using the camera.
Condensation
may also form
on the xD-Picture
Card.
In this event,
remove
the xD-
Picture
Card
and
wait
a short
time
before
using
it
again.
•
When
the
Camera
is
Unused
for
Long
Periods
If you
do not
intend
to use
the
camera
for
a long
period
of time,
remove
the
batteries
and
the
xD-
Picture
Card before
storing
the camera.
•
Cleaning
Your
Camera
• Use a blower
brush
to remove
dust
from
the
lens,
LCD
monitor
screen
or viewfinder,
and then
wipe
lightly with a soft, dry cloth.
If any soil remains,
apply
a small
amount
of lens cleaning
liquid
to a piece
of
FUJIFILM
lens cleaning
paper and wipe gently.
• Do not scratch
hard objects
against
the
lens,
LCD
monitor
screen
or viewfinder
as these
surfaces
are
easily damaged.
• Clean
the body
of the camera
with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use volatile
substances
such
as thinners
benzine
or insecticide,
as these
may
react
with
camera
body and cause
deformation
or remove
the
coating.
•
Using
the
Camera
Overseas
When
travelling
overseas
do not place your
camera
in
the check-in
baggage.
Baggage
handling
at airports
may
subject
baggage
to violent
shocks,
and
the
camera
may
be damaged
internally
even
when
no
external
damage
is visible
Notes on the Power Supply
• In the camera,
use AA-size
alkaline
or nickel-metal
hydride
batteries
and the rechargeable
battery
NH-1O.
Do not use AA-size
manganese
or nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cd)
batteries
in your
FinePix
A205/FinePix
A210
because
the
heat
generated
by the
batteries
could
damage
the camera
or cause
malfunctions.
oThe
operating
lives
of alkaline
batteries
vary
between
brands
and
the
life
of batteries
you
purchase
may
be shorter
than
the alkaline
batteries
provided
with the camera.
Incorrect
use
of the
batteries
could
cause
them
to
leak,
become
hot,
ignite or burst.
Always
observe
the
precautions
given below.
• 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
that
could
come
into
contact
with
the metal
positive
_
and
negative
(_
poles
of the battery.
• Do
not expose
the batteries
to fresh
or sea water,
and take
particular
care
to keep the terminals
dry.
• Do not attempt
to deform
disassemble
or modify
the
batteries.
• Do
not attempt
to peel
oft or cut the
battery
outer
casing.
• Do not drop,
strike
or otherwise
subject
the batteries
to strong
impacts.
• Do not
use batteries
that
are
leaking,
deformed,
discolored
or exhibit
any other
obvious
abnormality.
oDo
not
store
batteries
in very
warm
or
moist
locations.
• Keep
the batteries
out of reach
of babies
and small
children.
• When
loading
the batteries
into the camera,
ensure
that the battery
polarity
(_
and (4) is as indicated
on
the camera.
oDo
not
use
a new
battery
together
with
a used
battery.
In the case
of rechargeable
batteries,
do not
use charged
and discharged
batteries
together.
Do
not
use
batteries
of different
types
or
brands
together.
• If you
do not intend
to use the
camera
for a long
period
of time,
remove
the
batteries
from
the
camera.
(Note
that
it the
camera
is left
with
the
batteries
removed,
the time
and
date
settings
are
cleared.)
• The
batteries
may feel warm
immediately
after being
used.
Before
removing
the
batteries,
switch
the
camera
off and wait until the batteries
cool down.
oWhen
replacing
the
batteries,
always
fit 2 new
batteries.
Here,
"new
batteries"
denotes
newly
purchased
unused
alkaline
batteries
or a pair of fully
charged
AA-size
Ni-MH
batteries
that
were
charged
at the
same
time.
• In cold locations
(at temperatures
of +10°0/+50°F
or
below),
battery
performance
deteriorates
and
the
time
for which
they can be used shortens
markedly.
This
is particularly
true
of alkaline
batteries.
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.
• Soil (such
as fingerprints)
on the
battery
terminals
can
markedly
reduce
the
number
of available
frames.
Carefully
wipe
the battery
terminals
clean
with a soft dry cloth
before
loading
the batteries.
•
Disposing
of Batteries
When
disposing
of batteries,
do so in accordance
with
your
local waste disposal
regulations.
• When
used as a power
source
for a digital
camera,
AA-size
Ni-MH
batteries
and
the
Rechargeable
Battery
NH-1O
(referred
to hereafter
as
Ni-MH
batteries)
are
superior
to alkaline
batteries
in that
they
allow
more
shots
to be taken.
However,
to
retain
the original
performance
characteristics
of Ni-
MH batteries,
care
must be taken
in the way they
are used.
oNi-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.7O
for the
procedure
for "Discharging
rechargeable
batteries"
oThe
camera
mechanism
is such
that
it draws
a
minute
amount
of current
even when
the camera
is
switched
off. Note
particularly
that
AA-size
Ni-MH
batteries
and the
Rechargeable
Battery
NH-1O
will
become
discharged
if left in the camera
for a long
period
and
may
become
unusable
even
when
recharged.
oEven
when
not used,
AA-size
Ni-MH
batteries
and
the Rechargeable
Battery
NH-1O
will naturally
self-
discharge
so that
the time
for which
they
can be
used is shortened.
• The
rechargeable
battery
NH-1O
can be charged
by
setting
the camera
in the PictureCradle
CP-FXA1O
(sold separately).
• AA-size
Ni-MH
batteries
cannot
be charged
using
a
combination
of the camera
and the cradle.
oNi-MH
batteries
will
deteriorate
rapidly
if
overdischarged
(eg. by discharging
the batteries
in a
flashlight).
Use
the
"Discharging
rechargeable
batteries"
function
provided
in the
camera
to
discharge
the batteries.
oNi-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.
Use
only
the
AC-3V
AC
Power
Adapter
(sold
separately)
or the
AC-3VW
AC
Power
Adapter
(Bundled
with PictureCradle
sold separately).
The use
of other
AC power
adapters
may result
in damage
to
your
camera.
oThe
AC-3V
cannot
be
used
to charge
the NH-1O
Rechargeable
Battery.
• This
AC power
adapter
is designed
exclusively
for
indoor
use.
oPlug
the connection
cord
plug
securely
into the DC
input terminal
of the FUJIFILM
Digital
camera.
oTurn
off the
power
switch
of the FUJIFILM
Digital
camera
before
disconnecting
the connection
cord
from
the
FUJIFILM
Digital
camera's
DC
input
terminal.
To disconnect,
take
hold
of the plug
and
pull
it out (do
not disconnect
it by pulling
on the
cord).
• Do not use this AC power
adapter
with
any device
except
the specified
device.
• During
use
this AC power
adapter
will become
hot
to the touch,
but this is normal.
• Do not disassemble
the AC power
adapter.
Doing
so
could be dangerous.
oDo
not
use
this
device
in a place
with
high
temperature
and high humidity.
• Do not drop or subject
this device
to strong
shocks.
oThis
device
may emit
a humming
noise,
but this is
normal,
• If used near a radio, this device
may cause
static,
so
play the radio in a distant
place,
oAIways
use
the
special
battery
charger
(sold
separately)
to charge
AA-size
Ni-MH
batteries.
Charge
the batteries
as described
in the instructions
provided
with the battery
charger.
• Do not use the battery
charger
(sold separately)
to
charge
batteries
other
than
those
specified
