vi For Your Safety The Battery and Power Supply Note : Check the type of battery used in your camera and read the appropriate sections. The following describes the proper use of batteries and how to prolong their life. Incor- rect use can shorten battery life or cause leak- age, overheating, fi re, or explosion. Li-ion BatteriesLi-ion Batteries Read this section if your camera uses a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The battery is not charged at shipment. Charge the battery before use. Keep the bat- tery 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 tempera- tures; a depleted battery may not function at when cold. Keep a fully charged spare bat- tery in a warm place and exchange as nec- essary, 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 battery charger. Charging times will increase at am- bient 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 imme- diately after charging or use. This is normal. ■ Battery Life At normal temperatures, the battery can be recharged about 300 times. A noticeable de- crease in the length of time the battery will hold a charge indicates that it has reached the end of its service life and should be re- placed. ■ Storage Performance may be impaired if the battery is left unused for extended periods when fully charged. Run the battery 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 ambient 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. • 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 extended use. This is normal. AA Alkaline/Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries/AA Alkaline/Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries/AA lithium batteriesAA lithium batteries Read this section if your camera uses AA alkaline or rechargeable AA Ni-MH bat- teries. Information on compatible battery types may be found elsewhere in the camera manual. ■ Cautions: Handling the Batteries • Do not expose to water, fl ame, or heat, or store in warm or humid conditions. • Do not transport or store with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins. • Do not disassemble or modify the batteries or battery casing. • Do not subject to strong physical shocks. • Do not use batteries that are leaking, de- formed, or discolored. • Keep out of reach of infants and small chil- dren. • Insert in the correct orientation.
vii For Your Safety • Do not mix old and new batteries, batteries with diff erent charge levels, or batteries of diff erent types. • If the camera will not be used for an extend- ed period, remove the batteries. Note that the camera clock will be reset. • The batteries may be warm to the touch immediately after use. Turn the camera off and allow the batteries to cool before handling. • Battery capacity tends to decrease at low temperatures. Keep spare batteries in a pocket or other warm place and exchange as necessary. Cold batteries may recover some of their charge when warmed. • Fingerprints and other stains on the battery terminals can impair battery performance. Thoroughly clean the terminals with a soft, dry cloth before inserting them in the camera. If the batteries leak, clean the battery compartment thoroughly before in- serting new batteries. If fl uid from the battery comes into contact with skin or clothing, fl ush the aff ected area with water. If fl uid enters your eyes, immediately fl ush the aff ected area with water and seek medical attention. Do not rub your eyes. Failure to observe this precaution could result in permanent visual impairment. ■ Ni-MH Batteries The capacity of Ni-MH batteries may be temporarily reduced when new, after long periods of disuse, or if they are repeatedly recharged before being fully discharged. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunc- tion. Capacity can be increased by repeatedly discharging the batteries using the discharge option in the camera setup menu and re- charging them using a battery charger. Q CAUTION: Do not use the discharge option with alkaline batteries. The camera draws a small amount of current even when off . Ni-MH batteries that have been left in the camera for an extended pe- riod may be drawn down to the point that they no longer hold a charge. Battery perfor- mance may also drop if the batteries are run down in a device such as a fl ashlight. Use the discharge option in the camera setup menu to discharge Ni-MH batteries. Batteries that no longer hold a charge even after repeat- edly being discharged and recharged have reached the end of their service life and must be replaced. Ni-MH batteries can be recharged in a bat- tery charger (sold separately). Batteries may become warm to the touch after charging. Refer to the instructions provided with the charger for more information. Use the char- ger with compatible batteries only. Ni-MH batteries gradually lose their charge when not in use. ■ Disposal Dispose of used batteries in accord with local regulations. AC Power Adapters (Available Separately)AC Power Adapters (Available Separately) This section applies to all camera models. Use only FUJIFILM AC power adapters desig- nated for use with this camera. Other adapt- ers could damage the camera. • The AC power adapter is for indoor use only. • Be sure the DC plug is securely connected to the camera. • Turn the camera off before disconnecting 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 humidity. • Do not subject to strong physical shocks. • The adapter may hum or become hot to the touch during use.
