■ Standard number of frames per xD-Picture Card

The table below shows the standard number of frames for a new xD-Picture Card formatted on the camera. The larger the
xD-Picture Card capacity, the bigger the difference between the actual number of frames and the number shown here. Also,
the size of an image file varies depending on the subject. So the number of remaining shots may decrease by 2 or may
remain the same. For this reason, the number displayed may not show the actual number of frames.

On FinePix Z2, pressing the shutter button down halfway locks the focus and exposure settings (AF/AE
1997
lock). To focus on a subject that is off to one side or to set the exposure before composing the final

In this shot, the subjects (two people in this case)
N N N 12 12 12 12
are not in the AF frame. Taking the picture at this
point will result in the subjects being out of focus.
Move the camera slightly so that one of the
N N N 12 12 12 12
subjects is in the AF frame.
Press the shutter button down halfway (AF/AE
lock). When a short double-beep is heard, the
Bebeep
camera focuses on your subject. The AF frame on
the LCD monitor becomes smaller and the camera
sets the shutter speed and aperture. The indicator
