Notes on Using Your Camera Correctly

e Be sure to read this information in conjunction with "Safety Notes" (➡P.127) 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 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.
Extremely cold places.
Places subject to strong vibrations.
h
h Places affected by smoke or steam.
h Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as
places 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 Do not expose the camera to sand
The FinePix50i is particularly and adversely affected by
sand. In sandy locations such as beaches or deserts, or
in locations where there is wind borne sand, ensure
that the camera is not exposed to sand. This 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 SmartMedia card. In this event, remove the
110
SmartMedia 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 batteries and the SmartMedia card
before storing the camera.
I Cleaning Your Camera
h Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens and
LCD surface 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, LCD
monitor screen or viewfinder 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 the camera
body and cause deformation or remove the coating.
I Using the Camera Overseas
When travelling overseas, do not place your camera in
your 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 Using the Battery (NP-60)

The FinePix50i camera uses a rechargeable lithium-ion
battery (NP-60). 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-60 is not fully charged. Always
charge the NP-60 before using it.
h When carrying the NP-
60, install it in a digital
camera or keep it in the
soft case.
Battery (NP-60)
When storing the NP-60,
h
place it inside the special Soft case
soft case provided.
I Battery Features
h The NP-60 gradually loses its charge even when not
used. Use a NP-60 that has been charged recently (in
the last day or two) to take pictures.
h To maximize the life of the NP-60, 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-60.
You can also increase the amount of power produced
by putting the NP-60 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-60 directly against the pad. The camera may not
operate if you use a depleted NP-60 in cold conditions.
I Charging the Battery
h You can charge the NP-60 by mounting the camera in
the cradle and using the AC Power Adapter AC-
5VS/AC-5VHS.
• The NP-60 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 5 hours to charge a fully depleted
NP-60 battery.
• You should charge the NP-60 at an ambient
temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and
+95°F). If you charge the NP-60 at a temperature
outside this range, charging takes longer because
the performance of the NP-60 is impaired.
• You cannot charge the NP-60 at temperatures of
+0°C (+32°F) or below.
h You can also use the optional BC-60 Battery Charger
to charge the NP-60.
• The NP-60 can be charged using the BC-60 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
2 hours to charge a fully depleted NP-60 battery.
• You should charge the NP-60 at an ambient
temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and
+95°F). If you charge the NP-60 at a temperature
outside this range, charging takes longer because
the performance of the NP-60 is impaired.
h The NP-60 does not need to be fully discharged or
exhausted flat before being charged.
h The NP-60 may feel warm after it has been charged or
immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal. 111
