Inserting a Memory Card

Although the camera can store pictures in internal memory, SD memory cards (sold separately) can be used to store additional pictures. When no memory card is inserted, d appears in the monitor and internal memory is used for recording and playback. Note that because camera malfunction could cause internal memory to become corrupted, the pictures in internal memory should periodically be transferred to a computer and saved on the computer hard disk or on removable media such as CDs or DVDs. The pictures in internal memory can also be copied to a memory card (see page 75). To prevent internal memory from becoming full, be sure to delete pictures when they are no longer needed. When a memory card is inserted as described below, the card will be used for recording and playback. Compatible Memory Cards SanDisk SD and SDHC memory cards have been tested and approved for use in the camera. A complete list of approved memory cards is available at http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_ cameras/index.html. Operation is not guaranteed with other cards. The camera can not be used with MultiMediaCard (MMC) or xD-Picture Cards.
Caution SD memory cards can be locked, making it impossible to format the card or to record or delete images. Before inserting an SD memory card, slide the write-protect switch to the unlocked position.

Inserting a Memory Card Removing Memory Cards Be sure the camera is off before opening the batterychamber cover. Press the card in and then release it slowly. The card can now be removed by hand. Cautions Format SD memory cards before first use, and be sure to reformat all memory cards after using them in a computer or other device. For more information on formatting memory cards, see page 85. Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep out of reach of children. If a child swallows a memory card, seek medical assistance immediately. Do not use miniSD or microSD adapters that expose the back of the card. Failure to observe this precaution may cause damage or malfunction. Adapters that are larger or smaller than the standard dimensions of an SD card may not eject normally; if the card does not eject, take the camera to an authorized service representative. Do not forcibly remove the card. Do not turn the camera off or remove the memory card while the memory card is being formatted or data are being recorded to or deleted from the card. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card. Do not affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction. Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of SD memory card.
Cautions The memory card may spring out if you remove your finger immediately after pushing the card in. Memory cards may be warm to the touch after being removed from the camera. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

K Using the Flash (Intelligent Flash)
When the flash is used, the cameras Intelligent Flash system instantly analyzes the scene based on such factors as the brightness of the subject, its position in the frame, and its distance from the camera. Flash output and sensitivity are adjusted to ensure that the main subject is correctly exposed while preserving the effects of ambient background lighting, even in dimly-lit indoor scenes. Use the flash when lighting is poor, for example when shooting at night or indoors under low light. To choose a flash mode, press the selector right (K). The flash mode changes each time the selector is pressed; in modes other than AUTO, the current mode is indicated by an icon in the monitor. Choose from the following options (some options are not available in all shooting modes; see the restrictions in another supplied document):
Mode Description AUTO (no icon) The flash fires when required. Recommended in most situations. The flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use for backlit subjects or for natural coloration K (fill flash) when shooting in bright light. W (suppressed The flash does not fire even when the subject is poorly lit. 0 will appear in the monitor at flash) slow shutter speeds to warn that pictures may be blurred. Use of a tripod is recommended. Capture both the main subject and the background when shooting at night (note that T (slow sync) brightly lit scenes may be overexposed). If U is selected for a SHOOTING MODE, shutter speed may be slow. Use a tripod. Caution The flash may fire several times with each shot. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.
