The Battery and Power Supply
The following describes the proper use
of the battery and how to prolong its
life. Incorrect use can shorten battery
life or cause leakage, overheating, fi re,
or explosion.
The battery is not charged at shipment.
Charge the battery before use. Keep
the battery in its case when not in use.
Notes on the Battery
The battery gradually loses its charge
when not in use. Charge the battery
one or two days before use.
Battery life can be extended by turning
the camera off when not in use.
Battery capacity decreases at low tem-
peratures; a depleted battery may not
function at when cold. Keep a fully
charged spare battery in a warm place
and exchange as necessary, or keep the
battery in your pocket or other warm
place and insert it in the camera only
when shooting. Do not place the bat-
tery in direct contact with hand warmers
or other heating devices.
Charging the Battery
Charge the battery in the supplied bat-
tery charger. Charging times will increase
at ambient temperatures below +10 °C
(+50 °F) or above +35 °C (+95 °F). Do
not attempt to charge the battery at
temperatures above 40 °C (+104 °F); at
temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the
battery will not charge.
Do not attempt to recharge a fully
charged battery. The battery does not
however need to be fully discharged
before charging.
The battery may be warm to the touch
immediately after charging or use. This
is normal.
Battery Life
At normal temperatures, the battery
can be recharged about 300 times. A
noticeable decrease in the length of
time the battery will hold a charge in-
dicates that it has reached the end of its
service life and should be replaced.
Storage
Performance may be impaired if the
battery is left unused for extended pe-
riods when fully charged. Run the bat-
tery fl at before storing it.
If the camera will not be used for an
extended period, remove the battery
and store it in a dry place with an am-
bient temperature of from +15 °C to
+25 °C (+59 °F to +77 °F). Do not store
in locations exposed to extremes of
temperature.
Cautions: Handling the Battery
• Do not transport or store with metal
objects such as necklaces or hairpins.
• Do not expose to fl ame or heat.
• Do not disassemble or modify.
• Use with designated chargers only.
• Dispose of used batteries promptly.
• Do not drop or subject to strong
physical shocks.
• Do not expose to water.
• Keep the terminals clean.
• The battery and camera body may
become warm to the touch after ex-
tended use. This is normal.
AC Adapters (Available Separately)
Use only FUJIFILM AC adapters desig-
nated for use with this camera. Other
adapters could damage the camera.
• The AC adapter is for indoor use only.
• Be sure the DC plug is securely con-
nected to the camera.
• Turn the camera off before discon-
necting the adapter. Disconnect the
adapter by the plug, not the cable.
• Do not use with other devices.
• Do not disassemble.
• Do not expose to high heat and hu-
midity.
• Do not subject to strong physical
shocks.
• The AC adapter may hum or become
hot to the touch during use. This is
normal.
• If the AC adapter causes radio interfer-
ence, reorient or relocate the receiv-
ing antenna.
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 hospital
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-

large quantities of water and induce
vomiting, then seek medical assis-
tance.
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 camera is
functioning normally. FUJIFILM Corpo-
ration can not accept liability for dam-
