To take a picture of a main subject at night with the background brightly lit, use the (Night) setting in Scene position (P.30).

Red-eye effect

When using the flash to take a picture of people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes appear red in the picture.

The adapter rings provided with these conversion lenses (AR-FX9 for FinePix 4900 zoom/6900 zoom/S602 zoom/ S7000/S20Pro) cannot be used with the FinePix S3100 / FinePix S3500. ! Only use the tele conversion lens at the telephoto zoom setting. ! The built-in flash cannot be used when the teleconversion lens is mounted. ! Commercially available filters can be mounted on the lens when the adapter ring is attached, but no more than one filter should be mounted at a time.

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.
Using the AA-size Ni-MH batteries correctly
h As a power source in digital cameras, AA-size NiMH 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.87 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 Ni-MH batteries in the camera for a long period will overdischarge the batteries and may render them unusable even after recharging. h 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. 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 repeated discharge-charge cycles, it may have reached the end of its service life.

AC Power Adapter

Always use the AC Power Adapter AC-5VH/AC-5VHS with the camera. The use of an AC Power adapter other than AC5VH/AC-5VHS can cause damage to your digital camera. h Use the AC power adapter for indoor use only. h Plug the connection cord plug securely into the DC input terminal of the FUJIFILM Digital camera. h Turn off the FUJIFILM Digital camera before disconnecting the cord from the FUJIFILM Digital cameras DC input terminal. To disconnect, pull out the plug gently. Do not pull on the cord. h Do not use the AC power adapter with any device other than your camera. h During use, the AC power adapter will become hot to the touch. This is normal. h Do not take apart the AC power adapter. Doing so could be dangerous. h Do not use the AC power adapter in a hot humid place. h Do not subject the AC power adapter to strong shocks. h The AC power adapter may emit a humming. But this is normal. h If used near a radio, the AC power adapter may cause static. If this happens, move the camera away from the radio.
Discharging rechargeable Ni-MH batteries
The Discharging rechargeable batteries function can only be used with Ni-MH batteries. The Discharging rechargeable batteries function should not be used with alkaline batteries as it will completely drain the battery charge.
Use the Discharging rechargeable batteries function in the following situations: i When the batteries can only be used for a short time after being charged normally i When the batteries have not been used for a long period i When you purchase new Ni-MH batteries Do not use the Discharging rechargeable batteries function while using the AC power adapter. In these situations, the Ni-MH batteries will not be discharged due to the external power supply.
