iv For Your Safety Power Supply and Battery* Confirm your battery type before read- ing the following descriptions. The following explains proper use of batteries and how to prolong their life. Incorrect use of batteries can cause shorter battery life, as well as leakage, excessive heat, fire or explo- sion. 1 Camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery * When shipped, the battery is not fully charged. Always charge the battery before using it. * When carrying the battery, install it in a digital camera or keep it in the soft case. ■ Battery Features • The battery gradually loses its charge even when not used. Use a battery that has been charged recently (in the last day or two) to take pictures. • To maximize the life of the battery, turn the camera of f as quickly as possible when it is not being used. • The number of available frames will be lower in cold locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare fully charged battery. You can also increase the amount of power pro- duced by putting the battery 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 battery di- rectly against the pad. The camera may not operate if you use a de- pleted battery in cold conditions. ■ Charging the Battery • 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 bat- tery at temperatures above 40 °C (+104 °F); at temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the battery will not charge. • The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Bat- tery does not need to be fully dis- charged or exhausted flat before being charged. • The battery may feel warm af ter it has been charged or immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal. • Do not recharge a fully charged battery. ■ Battery Life At normal temperatures, the bat- tery can be used at least 300 times. If the time for which the battery provides power shortens markedly, this indicates that the battery has reached the end of its ef fective life and should be replaced.■ Notes on storage • If a battery is stored for long periods while charged, the performance of the battery can be impaired. If the battery will not be used for some time, run the battery out before storing it. • If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the battery from the cam- era. • Store the battery 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. ■ Handling the Battery Cautions for Your Safety: • Do not carry or store battery with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins. • Do not heat the battery or throw it into a fire. • Do not attempt to take apart or change the battery. • Do not recharge the battery with chargers other those specified. • Dispose of used battery promptly. • Do not drop the battery or other- wise subject it to strong impacts. • Do not expose the battery to wa- ter. • Always keep the battery terminals clean.• Do not store batteries in hot plac- es. Also, if you use the battery for a long period, the camera body and the battery itself will become warm. This is normal. Use the AC power adapter if you are taking pictures or viewing images for a long period of time. 2 Camera uses AA Alkaline, Rechargeable Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) or AA lithium batteries * For details on the batteries that you can use, refer to the Owner’s Manual of your camera. ■ Cautions for Using Battery • Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire. • Do not carry or store batteries with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins. • Do not expose the batteries to wa- ter, and keep batteries from getting wet or stored in moist locations. • Do not attempt to take apart or change the batteries, including battery casings. • Do not subject the batteries to strong impacts. • Do not use batteries that are leak- ing, deformed, discolored. • Do not store batteries in warm or humid places. • Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small children. • Make sure that the battery polarity (C and D) is correct. $00 L240_10-EN_Print.indb iv$00 L240_10-EN_Print.indb iv12/25/2013 10:59:32 AM12/25/2013 10:59:32 AM
v For Your Safety • Do not use new with used batter- ies. Do not use charged and dis- charged batteries together. • Do not use dif ferent types or brands of batteries at the same time. • If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the camera. Note if the camera is lef t with the batteries removed, the time and date settings are cleared. • The batteries feel warm right af ter being used. Before removing the batteries, turn the camera of f and wait for the batteries to cool down. • Since batteries do not work well in cold weather or locations, warm the batteries by placing them in- side your garments before use. Batteries do not work well when cold. They will work again when the temperature returns to normal. • Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals makes the bat- teries charge less reducing the number of images. Carefully wipe the battery terminals with a sof t dry cloth before loading. If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe the battery compartment thoroughly and then load new batteries. If any battery fluid comes into contact with your hands or clothing, flush the area thor- oughly with water. Note that battery fluid can cause loss of eyesight if it gets into your eyes. If this occurs, do not rub your eyes. Flush the fluid out with clean water and contact your physician for treatment. ■ Using the AA-size Ni-MH batteries correctly • Ni-MH batteries left unused in storage for long periods can be- come “deactivated”. Also, repeat- edly charging Ni-MH batteries that are only partially discharged can cause them to suf fer from the “memory ef fect”. Ni-MH batteries that are “deactivated” or af fected by “memory” suffer from the prob- lem of only providing power for a short time af ter being charged. To prevent this problem, discharge and recharge them several times using the camera’s “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function. Deactivation and memory are spe- cific to Ni-MH batteries and are not in fact battery faults. See Owner’s Manual for the proce- dure for “Discharging rechargeable batteries”. CAUTION CAUTIONDo not use the “Discharging re- chargeable batteries” function when alkaline batteries being used. • To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the quick battery charger (sold sepa- rately). Refer to the instructions supplied with the charger to make sure that the charger is used cor- rectly. • Do not use the battery charger to charge other batteries. • Note that the batteries feel warm af ter being charged. • Due to the way the camera is con- structed, a small amount of current is used even when the camera is turned off. Note in particular that leaving Ni-MH batteries in the camera for a long period will over- discharge the batteries and may render them unusable even after recharging. • Ni-MH batteries will self-discharge even when not used, and the time for which they can be used may be shortened as a result. • Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if over-discharged (e.g. by discharging the batteries in a flashlight). Use the “Discharging re- chargeable batteries” function pro- vided in the camera to discharge the batteries.• Ni-MH batteries have a limited service life. If a battery can only be used for a short time even after repeated discharge-charge cycles, it may have reached the end of its service life. ■ Disposing of Batteries CAUTION: When disposing of batter- ies, do so in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations. 3 Notes on both models (1, 2) ■ AC Power Adapter Always use the AC Power Adapter with the camera. The use of an AC Power adapter other than FUJIFILM AC Power Adapter can be damaged to your digital camera. For details on the AC power adapter, refer to the Owner’s Manual of your camera. • Use the AC power adapter for in- door use only. • Plug the connection cord plug se- curely into the DC input terminal. • Turn of f the FUJIFILM Digital cam- era before disconnecting the cord from the DC input terminal. To dis- connect, pull out the plug gently. Do not pull on the cord. • Do not use the AC power adapter with any device other than your camera. • During use, the AC power adapter will become hot to the touch. This is normal. $00 L240_10-EN_Print.indb v$00 L240_10-EN_Print.indb v12/25/2013 10:59:32 AM12/25/2013 10:59:32 AM
vi For Your Safety • Do not take apart the AC power adapter. Doing so could be dan- gerous. • Do not use the AC power adapter in a hot and humid place. • Do not subject the AC power adapter to strong shocks. • The AC power adapter may emit a humming. This is normal. • If used near a radio, the AC power adapter may cause static. If this happens, move the camera away from the radio. Before Using the CameraDo not aim the camera at extremely bright light sources, such as the sun in a cloudless sky. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the camera image sensor. ■ Test Shots Prior to Photography For important photographs (such as weddings and overseas trips), always take a test shot and view the im- age to make sure that the camera is working normally. • FUJIFILM Corporation cannot ac- cept liability for any incidental losses (such as the costs of photog- raphy or the loss of income from photography) incurred as a result of faults with this product. ■ Notes on Copyright Images recorded using your digital camera system cannot be used in ways that infringe copyright laws without the consent of the owner, unless intended only for personal use.
