Power Supply and Others
Power supply Use one of the following:
i Rechargeable Battery NP-40
Conditions for use Temperature: 0°C to +40°C (+32°F to +104°F)
80% humidity or less (no condensation)
Guide to the number of
available frames for battery
operation
According to the CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) standard procedure
for measuring digital still camera battery consumption (extract):
When using a battery, use the battery supplied with the camera. The storage media
should be xD-Picture Card.
Pictures should be taken at a temperature of 23°C, with the LCD monitor turned on, the
optical zoom moved from full wide-angle to full telephoto (or vice-versa) and back again
to its original position every 30 seconds, the flash used at full power every second shot
and the camera turned off and then on again once every 10 shots.
i Note: As the number of available shots varies depending on the level of charge in
battery, the figures shown here for the number of available shots using battery
is not guaranteed. The number of available shots will also decline at low
temperatures.

■ Standard number of available frames/recording time per xD-Picture Card
The number of available frames, recording time or file size varies slightly depending on the subjects photographed. Note also
that the difference between standard number of frames and the actual number of frames is greater for xD-Picture Cards
with higher capacities.

✽ These specifications are subject to change without notice. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for
damages resulting from errors in this Owner's Manual.
✽ The LCD monitor on your digital camera is manufactured using advanced high-precision technology.
Even so, small bright points and anomalous colors (particularly around text) may appear on the
monitor. These are normal display characteristics and do not indicate a fault with the monitor. This
phenomenon will not appear on the recorded image.
✽ The operation error may be caused in a digital camera by the strong radio interference (i.e. electric
fields, static electricity, line noise, etc.).
✽ Due to the nature of the lens, the edges of images may appear distorted. This is normal.

Explanation of Terms

AF/AE Lock
On the FinePix F455, pressing the shutter button down half way locks the focus and exposure settings (AF and AE
lock). If you want to focus on a subject that is not centered in the frame or change the picture composition after the
exposure is set, you can obtain good results by changing the composition after the AF and AE settings are locked.
Auto power save function
If the camera is not used in any way for 60 seconds, this function turns features such as the LCD monitor off (sleep
mode) to prevent battery depletion and the waste of power when the AC power adapter is connected. If the camera
is then left unused for a further period, the Auto power save function turns the camera off. This period can be set to
2 or 5 minutes on this camera.
h The Auto power off function does not operate in PC mode, during automatic playback, or if it is disabled during
setup.
DPOF
Digital Print Order Format
DPOF is a format used for recording information on a storage media (image memory card, etc.) that allows you to
specify which of the frames shot using a digital camera are to be printed and how many prints are made of each
image.
EV
A number denotes Exposure Value. The EV is determined by the brightness of the subject and sensitivity (speed)
of the film or CCD. The number is larger for bright subjects and smaller for dark subjects. As the brightness of the
subject changes, a digital camera maintains the amount of light hitting the CCD at a constant level by adjusting the
aperture and shutter speed.
When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles, the EV increases by 1. Likewise, when the light is halved, the
EV decreases by 1.
Frame rate (fps)
The frame rate refers to the number of images (frames) that are photographed or played back per second. For
example, when 10 frames are continuously photographed in a 1-second interval, the frame rate is expressed as 10
fps.
For reference, TV images are displayed at 30 fps (NTSC).
JPEG
Joint Photographics Experts Group
A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The higher the compression rate, the greater the loss
of quality in the decompressed (restored) image.
Motion JPEG
A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format that handles images and sound as a single file. Images in the file
are recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG can be played back by QuickTime 3.0 or later.
PC Card
A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card Standard.
# PC Card Standard
Movie
A standard for PC cards determined by the PCMCIA.

Smear

A phenomenon specific to CCDs whereby white streaks appear on the image when there is a very strong light
source, such as the sun or reflected sunlight, in the photography screen.

White Balance
Whatever the kind of the light, the human eye adapts to it so that a white object still looks white. On the other hand,
devices such as digital cameras see a white subject as white by first adjusting the color balance to suit the color of
the ambient light around the subject. This adjustment is called matching the white balance.
Exif Print Format is a newly revised digital camera file format that contains a variety of shooting information for
optimal printing.
