Compatible batteries

h AA-size alkaline batteries (2), Rechargeable Battery NH-10 (sold separately), or AA-size Ni-MH batteries (sold separately) (2).
! Please use the same brand and grade AA-size alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera.

How to use the batteries

h Never use the following types of batteries, as this could cause serious problems Outer casing such as batteries fluid leakage or overheating: 1. Batteries with split or peeling outer casings 2. Combinations of different types of batteries or new and used batteries together h Do not use manganese or Ni-Cd batteries. h Soil, such as fingermarks on the poles of the batteries can shorten time for which the batteries can be used. h The time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referred to hereafter simply as alkaline batteries) can be used varies depending on the brand, and some alkaline batteries may stop providing power more quickly than those supplied with the camera. Note also that due to their nature, the time for which alkaline batteries can be used decreases in cold conditions (0C to +10C/+32F to +50F). The use of AA-size Ni-MH batteries is better for this reason. h Cradle can be used in combination with camera and to charge rechargeable Battery NH-10 (sold separately). Use Fujifilm Battery charger (sold separately) to charge AA-size Ni-MH batteries. h See P.74, 75 for other notes on using batteries. h When first purchased or if left unused for a long period, the time for which AA-size Ni-MH batteries or rechargeable Battery NH-10 can be used may be shorter. See P.75 more information. h When the surfaces of the Rechargeable Battery NH-10 terminals have become worn through repeated use or the battery has been taken out of the camera and left for a long period, the battery may stop supplying power or may become usable only for shorter periods. To restore normal battery operation, open and close the battery cover several times to dislodge any soiling on the terminals.
Check that the camera is turned off (viewfinder lamp is off) before opening the battery cover.
! Opening the battery cover while the camera is on, the camera is turned off. ! Do not apply force to the battery cover.

Notes on the Batteries

Incorrect use of the batteries could cause them to leak, become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the precautions given below. h Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire. h Do not carry or store batteries with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins. h Do not expose the batteries to water, and keep batteries from getting wet or stored in moist locations. h Do not attempt to take apart or change the batteries, including battery casings. h Do not subject the batteries to strong impacts. h Do not use batteries that are leaking, deformed, discolored. h Do not store batteries in warm or humid places. h Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small children. h Make sure that the battery polarity ( and ) is correct.

Disposing of Batteries

When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations.
repeated discharge-charge cycles, it may have reached the end of its service life.
Using the AA-size Ni-MH Batteries and the Rechargeable Battery NH-10 Correctly
h As a power source in digital cameras, AA-size NiMH batteries and the Rechargeable Battery NH-10 (referred to hereafter as Ni-MH batteries) are superior to alkaline batteries in several ways, such as allowing more shots to be taken with the camera. However, care must be taken with the way Ni-MH batteries are used if their original performance is to be maintained. h Ni-MH batteries left unused in storage for long periods can become deactivated. Also, repeatedly charging Ni-MH batteries that are only partially discharged can cause them to suffer from the memory effect. Ni-MH batteries that are deactivated or affected by memory suffer from the problem of only providing power for a short time after being charged. To prevent this problem, discharge and recharge them several times using the cameras Discharging rechargeable batteries function. By repeating this cycle several times, the temporary reduction in performance caused by memory or deactivation can be remedied and the batteries can be restored to their original performance levels. Deactivation and memory are specific to Ni-MH batteries and are not in fact battery faults. See P.76 for the procedure for Discharging rechargeable batteries. Do not use the Discharging rechargeable batteries function when alkaline batteries are being used. h To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the quick battery charger (sold separately). Refer to the instructions supplied with the charger to ensure that the charger is used correctly. h Do not use the battery charger to charge other batteries. h Note that the batteries feel warm after being charged. h Due to the way the camera is constructed, a small amount of current is used even when the camera is turned off. Note in particular that leaving AA-size NiMH batteries and the Rechargeable Battery NH-10 in the camera for a long period will overdischarge the batteries and may render them unusable even after recharging. h Ni-MH batteries and the Rechargeable Battery NH10 will self-discharge even when not used, and the time for which they can be used may be shortened as a result. h The rechargeable battery NH-10 can be charged by setting the camera in the PictureCradle CP-FXA10 (sold separately). h Ni-MH batteries cannot be charged using a combination of the camera and the cradle. h Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if overdischarged (eg. by discharging the batteries in a flashlight). Use the Discharging rechargeable batteries function provided in the camera to discharge the batteries. h Ni-MH batteries have a limited service life. If a battery can only be used for a short time even after
