The new Advanced Focusing Screen Display of the FinePix S2 Pro employs the convenient Vari-Brite Focus Area display system; it enables clear display of the focus brackets at the selected focus area in the viewfinder for easy identification. When the finder image is bright, the focus brackets are displayed in black and when the finder image is dark, the focus brackets are momentarily illuminated in red. The selected focus area can be identified easily in both bright and dark conditions with this function. Also, the new Advanced Focusing Screen Display allows the superimposition of On-Demand Grid Lines. The grid lines can be displayed by using Custom Setting Menu #2 (P.96). These grids assist you in composing the frame, in taking landscape pictures or in shifting/tilting PC-Nikkor lenses. Due to characteristics of the LCD used in the Vari-Brite Focus Area display system, a thin line outside the selected focus area may also be displayed or the entire viewfinder may be illuminated in red under certain conditions. These are not malfunctions.

Switch the camera on and check the battery charge indicator. 1There is ample charge in the batteries. 2The batteries are low on charge and will run out shortly. You should replace the batteries. 3The batteries are fully depleted. You must replace the batteries. The display switches off and the camera stops operating, after which the display lights again.
Loss of power while an image is being saved will prevent the image from being saved successfully. Take note of the battery level when you are taking shots where image saving will take some time (continuous shooting or when the quality is set to HIGH).
To switch the camera on, set the Power switch to ON. To switch the camera off, set the Power switch to OFF.

I When you have difficulty obtaining lithium batteries
You can take pictures using only the four AA-size Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride batteries), but the built-in flash cannot be used. When you are using only the four AA-size Ni-MH batteries, remove the used lithium batteries from the camera. The time for which the camera can be used is shorter, and as far as possible this should only be used as an emergency measure. Note that the displays on the top and rear display panels both function as battery level indicators for the AA-size Ni-MH batteries.
When you are taking pictures in locations where you think you will have difficulty purchasing lithium batteries, it is a good idea to take along some spare lithium batteries or carry some fully charged Ni-MH batteries for emergencies. The camera cannot be used just with alkaline batteries.

CSM 4: Normally, you can only select a focus area by pressing the arrow on the 4-direction button that points towards that focus area. However, you can set camera operation so that when the right-hand focus area is selected, pressing c on the 4-direction button selects the left-hand focus area. This means you can switch between focus areas on opposite sides without having to press different sides of the 4-direction button (P.97).

r (Continuous Shooting)

This mode allows you to take up to 7 consecutive shots at intervals as short as 0.5 seconds by holding down the shutter button. h Once you have shot the maximum number of continuous frames (7), the number of available shots shown on the rear display panel is highlighted. No further continuous shots can be taken at that point. Wait until the number of available shots is no longer highlighted.
;: Center-weighted metering
Center-weighted metering determines the exposure value based primarily on a 12-mm circle in the center of the viewfinder.
! G The continuous shooting speed is fixed and does not vary according to the resolution or quality settings. ! G You cannot use continuous shooting with the built-in flash. ! G If previewing is selected for photographed images (P.90) when continuous shooting is used,
only the photographed image for the final frame is displayed and automatically recorded. ! G If you use continuous shooting when the number of available shots is low, the number of available shots may temporarily change to 0.

l: Spot metering

Spot metering determines the exposure value by concentrating metering on the equivalent of a 4mm diameter area in the viewfinder (approx. 2% of the entire frame). The metering area moves to follow shifts in the selected focus area. However, spot metering always remains in the center of the shot when Closest-subject Priority Dynamic AF mode is used.

h Limits apply to the upper and lower EV values depending on the metering range for the sensitivity setting. h In Matrix Metering, any EV above 16 1/3 is controlled to EV 16 1/3 when using ISO 100. Consequently, shots of very bright subjects may be overexposed.
If you select the P, S or A exposure mode when you are not using a Nikkor lens with a built-in CPU, ` appears on the top display panel and in the viewfinder and you cannot take pictures. When this occurs, you can take pictures by setting the exposure mode to M and using the aperture ring on the lens to set the aperture. Note that you cannot use the camera's exposure meter.

EXPOSURE MODES S

S SHUTTER-PRIORITY AUTO
In this mode, the photographer sets the shutter speed (1/4000 to 30 sec.) and the camera automatically controls the aperture setting. This mode is best when the shutter speed takes priority, such as shots where a fast shutter speed is used to freeze the action or a slow shutter speed is used to convey the sense of movement.

EXPOSURE MODES A

A APERTURE-PRIORITY AUTO
In this mode, the photographer sets the aperture (narrowest aperture to widest aperture) and the camera automatically controls the shutter speed. This mode is best for photographs where the priority is on the depth of field (the area where objects are in focus), such as shots where both near and distant objects are in clear focus (narrowest apertures) or where the background is out of focus (widest apertures).

Compose picture, focus and shoot. h The shutter will be open as long as the shutter release button is kept fully depressed. h Using the cable release (sold separately) attached to the release terminal instead of pressing the shutter button with your finger also reduces camera shake.

u EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

Exposure compensation allows you to intentionally vary the optimum exposure value controlled by the camera. This can be useful when intentionally achieving under- or overexposure. Use Centre-Weighted or Spot Metering. Exposure compensation can be performed in any exposure mode (However in M exposure mode, only the electronic analog display changesselected shutter speed and aperture do not change).
q AUTO EXPOSURE BRACKETING
Use Auto Exposure Bracketing when you want to take the same shot with different exposure settings. Using the correct exposure setting displayed by the camera (the value set in M exposure mode) as a reference, the camera can automatically offset the exposure by a set value (up to 2 EV steps without exposure compensation) in either direction.
Set exposure compensation by rotating the Main-Command Dial while pressing the u button until the desired compensation value appears (3 EV to +3 EV in 1/2 EV steps). h When the exposure compensation is set, U appears on the top display panel and viewfinder. The Electronic analog exposure display also appears in the viewfinder. The compensation value can be checked by pressing the u button. h Electronic analog exposure display indicates the exposure compensation value and 0 blinks. h Normally, you should compensate exposure to the + side when the background is brighter than your main subject, or to the side when the background is darker. h See p.67 for information on using flash exposure compensation to adjust the amount of light emitted by the flash.

I Notes on Handling SmartMedia
h Use only the SmartMedia specified for use with the camera. The use of other SmartMedia could damage the camera. h Take care not to touch the SmartMedias contact area (the gold-colored area) or allow the area to become soiled. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any soiling that does occur. h To avoid damage caused by static electricity, always use the special static-free case provided when carrying or storing the media. Alternatively, keep the SmartMedia in a storage case if available. h Inserting a SmartMedia that is charged with static electricity into your camera may result in a camera malfunction. If this occurs, switch the camera off and then on again. h Do not carry SmartMedia in locations such as a trouser pocket. This could subject the SmartMedia to excessive force when you sit down, thereby damaging the
Notes on Using the AC Power Adapter
Always use the AC-5VH/AC-5VHS AC Power Adapter with the camera. The use of an AC Power adapter other than AC-5VH/AC-5VHS could result in damage to your digital camera. h This AC power adapter is designed exclusively for indoor use. h Plug the connection cord plug securely into the DC input terminal of the FUJIFILM Digital camera. h Turn off the power switch of the FUJIFILM Digital camera before disconnecting the connection cord from the FUJIFILM Digital cameras DC input terminal. To disconnect, take hold of the plug and pull it out (do not disconnect it by pulling on the cord). h Do not use this AC power adapter with any device except the specified device. h During use, this AC power adapter will become hot to touch, but this is normal. h Do not disassemble the AC power adapter. Doing so could be dangerous. h Do not use this device in a place with high temperature and high humidity. h Do not drop or subject this device to strong shocks. h This device may emit a humming noise, but this is normal. h If used near a radio, this device may cause static, so play the radio in a distant place.

1: Images shot in high-sensitivity photography (ISO 400 or higher) may appear coarse and may also be affected by noise such as white dots. 2: CCD-RAW is a format specific to the FinePix S2 Pro. The enclosed FinePix Viewer software or the optional Hyper-Utility software Shooting Software is required to interpret the images. 3: Images shot with long exposures (1 second or longer) may appear coarse and may also be affected by noise such as white dots. 4: The figures shown for the number of available shots are a guide to the number of consecutive shots that can be taken at normal temperatures with the flash used in 50% of the shots. Note that the actual number of available shots may differ due to variations in the ambient temperature when the camera is used and the amount of battery charge. The number of available shots is lower at low temperatures. These specifications and performance data are subject to change without notice. FUJIFILM accepts no liability whatsoever for errors or omissions in this manual. The color LCD monitor on your digital camera is manufactured using advanced high-precision technology. Even so, up to 0.01% of the pixels may fail to light or may remain permanently lit. 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.).
Auto Power Off Preview Playback

Explanation of Terms

Auto Power Off Function: If the camera is not used in any way for a set period, the Auto Power Off function switches the camera off to prevent battery depletion and to avoid wasting power when the camera is connected to the AC power adapter. Preview image display is also cancelled when this function operates. h The Auto Power Off function does not operate, when a USB connection is being used, or when the Auto Power Off function is switched off during setup. CCD-RAW This is the image data prior to signal processing (the reconstruction of the data read in from the CCD as an image). Because the signal processing is performed on the computer, high levels of control are possible. To reconstruct images, FinePixViewer (on the enclosed CD-ROM) or the Hyper Utility (optional) must be installed on your computer. Color Temperature: Low-temperature light sources, such as a candle flame, are strongly red, while high-temperature light sources, such as a gas burner flame, are strongly blue. The color of the light for these temperatures is expressed as a color temperature (K = Kelvin). The light of the sun at midday in a completely clear sky is taken to be 5500K. EV: A number that 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. JPEG: Joint Photographics Experts Group A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The compression ratio can be selected, but the higher the compression ratio, the poorer the quality of the expanded image. TIFF-RGB: A format for saving image data in which a tag indicating the file format is attached to each item of data. Files stored in this format can be opened on a personal computer.
