Notes on Using Your Camera Correctly

e Be sure to read this information in conjunction with "Safety Notes" (➡P.102), to ensure that you
use your camera correctly.
I Places to Avoid
Do not store or use the camera in the following types of
locations:
h In the rain or in very humid, dirty or dusty places.
h In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme
temperature rises, such as in a closed car in summer.
h Extremely cold places.
h Places subject to strong vibration.
h Places affected by smoke or steam.
h Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as near
motors, transformers or magnets).
h In contact with chemicals such as pesticides or next to
rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time.
I Notes on Immersion in Water or Sand
The FinePix F700 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 also not to place the camera on a wet
surface. Water or sand inside the camera can cause faults
that may be irreparable.
I 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

Notes on Using the Battery (NP-40)

This camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery
Pack NP-40. Note the points below when using the
rechargeable battery. Take particular care to read the
Safety Notes to ensure that you use the battery correctly.
✽ When shipped, the NP-40 is not fully charged. Always
charge the NP-40 before using it.
h When carrying the NP-40,
install it in a digital camera
or keep it in the soft case.
h When storing the NP-40,
place it inside the special
soft case provided.
Soft case
I Battery Features
h The NP-40 gradually loses its charge even when not
used. Use a NP-40 that has been charged recently (in
the last day or two) to take pictures.
h To maximize the life of the NP-40, switch the camera off
as quickly as possible when it is not being used.
h The number of available shots will be lower in cold
locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare
fully charged NP-40.
You can also increase the amount of power produced by
putting the NP-40 in your pocket or another warm place
to heat it and then loading it into the camera just before
you take a picture.
If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place the
NP-40 directly against the pad. The camera may not
operate if you use a depleted NP-40 in cold conditions.
I Charging the Battery
h You can charge the battery using the camera and the AC
power adapter (supplied).
i The NP-40 can be charged at ambient temperatures
between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an
ambient temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes
approximately 2 hours to charge a fully depleted
NP-40 battery.
i You should charge the NP-40 at an ambient
temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and
+95°F). If you charge the NP-40 at a temperature
outside this range, charging takes longer because the
performance of the NP-40 is impaired.
i You cannot charge the NP-40 at temperatures of 0°C
92
(+32°F) or below.
card. In this event, remove the xD-Picture card and wait a
short time before using it again.
I 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 battery and the xD-Picture card before
storing the camera.
I Cleaning Your Camera
h Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens and
LCD monitor screen as these surfaces, and then wipe
lightly with a soft, dry cloth. If any soiling remains, apply
a small amount of lens cleaning liquid to a piece of
FUJIFILM lens cleaning paper and wipe gently.
h Do not scratch hard objects against the lens and LCD
monitor screen as these surfaces are easily damaged.
h 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.
I 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.
h You can also use the optional Battery Charger BC-65 to
charge the NP-40. When charging, use the NP-40
battery adapter supplied with the BC-65 (Refer to the
Owner's Manual for details).
i The NP-40 can be charged using the BC-65 Battery
Charger at ambient temperatures between 0°C and
+40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an ambient temperature
of +23°C (+73°F), it takes approximately 90 minutes to
charge a fully depleted NP-40 battery.
i You should charge the NP-40 at an ambient
Battery
temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and
(NP-40)
+95°F). If you charge the NP-40 at a temperature
outside this range, charging takes longer because the
performance of the NP-40 is impaired.
h The NP-40 does not need to be fully discharged or
exhausted flat before being charged.
h The NP-40 may feel warm after it has been charged or
immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal.
h Do not recharge a fully charged NP-40.
I Battery Life
At normal temperatures, the NP-40 can be used at least
300 times.
If the time for which the NP-40 provides power shortens
markedly, this indicates that the NP-40 has reached the
end of its effective life and should be replaced.
Notes on storage
The Lithium-ion Battery Pack NP-40 is both compact and
capable of storing large quantities of power. However, if It
is stored for long periods while charged, the performance
of the battery can be impaired.
h If the battery will not be used for some time, run the
battery flat before storing it.
h Always remove the battery from the camera or battery
charger when it is not being used.
h Place the battery pack inside the soft case and store in a
cool place.
✽ The battery should be stored in a dry location with an
ambient temperature between +15°C and +25°C (+59°F
and +77°F).
✽ Do not leave the battery in hot or extremely cold places.

I Handling the Battery
To avoid injury or damage, observe the following:
h Do not allow the metal portions of the battery to touch
other metal objects.
h Do not bring the battery close to a flame or throw it into a
fire.
h Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery.
h Do not recharge the battery with chargers other those
specified.
h Dispose of used batteries promptly.
To avoid damaging the battery or shortening its
life, observe the following:
h Do not drop the battery or otherwise subject it to strong
impacts.
h Do not immerse the battery in water.
To ensure that you obtain optimum battery
performance, observe the following:
AC Power Adapter
Use only the AC-5VW AC Power Adapter with your
FinePix F700 Digital Camera. The use of other AC power
adapters may result in damage to your camera.
h The AC Power Adapter is only intended for indoor use.
h Plug the connection cord plug securely into the DC input
terminal of the FUJIFILM Digital camera.
h Turn 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).
h Do not use the AC power adapter with any device except
the specified device.
h During use, the AC power adapter will become hot to
touch, but this is normal.
h Do not disassemble the AC power adapter. Doing so
could be dangerous.
h Do not use the AC power adapter in a place with high
temperature and high humidity.
h Do not drop or subject the AC power adapter to strong
shocks.
h The AC power adapter may emit a humming noise, but
this is normal.
h If used near a radio, the AC power adapter may cause
WARNINGS
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the AC power adapter to rain or moisture.
The AC power adapter shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the AC power adapter.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

hRead these instructions.
hKeep these instructions.
hHeed all warnings.
hFollow all instructions.
hDo not use this apparatus near water.
hClean only with dry cloth.
hDo not block any ventilation openings,
Install in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
hDo not install near any heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
