Compatible batteries

Use two AA-size alkaline batteries or two AAsize nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries.
h It is recommended that you use the same brand of alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera. h Never use a battery when the Outer casing outer casing is split or peeling as this could result in a short-circuit and cause major problems due to battery fluid leakage or overheating. h Do not use different types of batteries or old and new batteries together. h You cannot use lithium, manganese or nickelcadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries. h The operating lives of alkaline batteries vary between brands and the life of batteries you purchase may be shorter than the alkaline batteries provided with the camera. Note also that due to the nature of alkaline batteries, the time for which they can be used is shorter in cold locations (at temperatures of +10C (+50F) or below). Consequently, Ni-MH batteries are recommended. h Soil (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of batteries can greatly reduce the time for which the batteries provide power. h You will need the optional charger ( P.102) to recharge Ni-MH batteries. h See P.105 for notes on using batteries.

The Camera Connection section explains how to connect the camera to your computer using the special USB cable and describes the functions you can use once the camera and computer are connected.
If the power cuts out during data transmission, the data will not be transmitted correctly. Always use the AC power adapter when connecting the camera to a computer.
7.1 Using the optional AC Power adapter
I PC CAM (PC Camera) Mode
This function allows you to conduct videoconferencing sessions between PCs connected to the Internet (P.87).
Videoconferencing (PictureHello) is not supported on Macintosh computers. Connection is only possible with a FUJIFILM camera equipped with a PC Camera function.
Always use a FUJIFILM AC Power Adapter AC-3V (P.102). Use the AC power adapter to avoid losing power at inconvenient times, such as when you are downloading photographed images to your computer. Using the AC power adapter also allows you to take pictures and play back images without worrying about depleting the batteries.
See P.107 for notes on using the AC power adapter. Only connect or disconnect the AC power adapter when the camera is switched off. Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter while the camera is switched on temporarily interrupts the power supply to the camera, so that images or movies being shot at the time are not recorded. Failing to switch the camera off first can also result in damage to the xD-Picture Card or malfunctions during PC connection.

Screen for Windows 98 SE

1. Load an xD-Picture Card containing photographed images into your camera. Plug the AC power adapter connector into the DC IN 3V socket on the camera and then plug the adapter itself into the main power outlet. 2. Slide the power switch to the side to turn the camera on. 3. Set the USB MODE setting in the SETUP menu to DSC (P.68, 69). 4. Slide the Power switch to the side to turn 84 the camera off.

Notes on the Power Supply

Applicable Batteries

h AA-size alkaline, Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) can be used with this camera. Do not use AA-size manganese, lithium or nickelcadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries in your FinePix camera because the heat generated by the batteries could damage the camera or cause malfunctions. h The operating lives of alkaline batteries vary between brands and the life of batteries you purchase may be shorter than the alkaline batteries provided with the camera. h Do not store batteries in very warm or moist locations. h Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small children. h When loading the batteries into the camera, ensure that the battery polarity (+ and _ ) is as indicated on the camera. h Do not use new batteries together with used batteries. In the case of rechargeable batteries, do not use charged and discharged batteries together. Do not use batteries of different types or brands together. h If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the camera. (Note that if the camera is left with the batteries removed, the time and date settings are cleared.) h The batteries may feel warm immediately after being used. Before removing the batteries, switch the camera off and wait until the batteries cool down. h When replacing the batteries, always fit 2 new batteries. Here, new batteries refers to either recently purchased unused alkaline batteries, or Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride) batteries that have recently been fully recharged together. h In cold locations (at temperatures of +10C/+50F or below), battery performance deteriorates and the time for which they can be used shortens markedly. This is particularly true of alkaline batteries. In cold conditions, put the batteries in your pocket or a similar place to warm them before loading them into the camera. If you use a body warmer to warm the batteries, ensure that they are not in direct contact with the warmer.

I Using the Camera Overseas
When travelling overseas, do not place your camera in the 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.
h Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals can markedly reduce the number of available shots. Carefully wipe the battery terminals clean with a soft dry cloth before loading the batteries.
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 thoroughly 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.

I Disposing of Batteries

When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations.
I Notes on Small Rechargeable Batteries (NiMH batteries)
h Always use the special battery charger to charge AAsize Ni-MH batteries. Charge the batteries as described in the instructions provided with the battery charger. h Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries other than those specified for use with the charger. h Note that the batteries may feel warm immediately after being charged. h Ni-MH batteries are not charged at shipment. Be sure to charge the batteries before using them.
h The camera mechanism is such that it draws a minute amount of current even when the camera is switched off. Take particular care not to leave Ni-MH batteries in the camera for a long period of time as they can become excessively discharged and may no longer be usable even when charged. h Ni-MH batteries self-discharge even when not used. Always charge Ni-MH batteries before using them. If the time for which a battery provides power shortens markedly when it has been correctly charged, this indicates that the battery has reached the end of its effective life and should be replaced. h Soil (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of Ni-MH batteries can greatly reduce the number of available shots. When this occurs, clean the terminals carefully with a soft dry cloth. Then use up the remaining charge in the batteries and recharge them. h Newly purchased batteries or batteries that have been left unused for an extended period may not be fully charged. (This is indicated by the immediate display of the battery low warning or a low number of available shots.) This is a normal characteristic of the batteries and does not indicate a fault. Repeatedly charging and using the batteries 3 or 4 times will restore them to a normal condition. h If you repeatedly charge a Ni-MH batteries before it is fully discharged, it will suffer from the memory effect , causing the battery low warning to appear while there is still ample charge remaining in the battery. To restore the batteries to their normal condition, use up all the charge in the batteries before recharging them.

FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting from errors in this Owners 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.).
