Inserting the Batteries

The camera takes two AA alkaline (LR6) batteries (supplied) or two AA rechargeable Ni-MH batteries (sold separately). Insert the batteries in the camera as described below.
1 Open the battery-chamber cover.
A Note Be sure the camera is off before opening the battery-chamber cover. First Steps
3 Close the battery-chamber cover.
C Cautions Do not open the batterychamber cover when the camera is on. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to image files or memory cards. Do not use excessive force when handling the battery-chamber cover.
the batteries. 2 Insert the batteries in the Insert orientation shown by the E and F marks inside the battery chamber.
C Cautions Insert the batteries in the correct orientation. Never use batteries with Battery casing peeling or damaged casing or mix old and new batteries, batteries with different charge levels, or batteries of different types. Failure to observe these precautions could result in the batteries leaking or overheating. Never use manganese or Ni-Cd. Replace AA alkaline batteries with batteries of the same make and grade as those supplied with the camera. If the battery-chamber cover can not be latched easily, confirm the battery orientation first. Do not use excessive force to latch it.

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 65). 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.

Fujifilm A170 and A220 Sport Advanced Features for Their Class

Automation at its best

This one has made me laugh. Fuji says it announced the launch of two new entry-level digital cameras as a user-friendly upgrade for our current camera. I can't help but wonder what cameras one has to actually be considered an upgrade and not a replacement. Enough being mean already, let's see what these two soap boxes can do. They both include the SR auto mode, panoramic shooting mode, face detection technology. Quick, convenient, on-the-go photography. Inside a 21.9mm slim profile, the maker has encased a 10-megapixel for the A170 and a 12-megapixel for the A220, sensor, a 3x optical zoom lens specially developed for the A-series by Fujinon and a large 2.7" 230k-pixel resolution LCD. "We wanted to provide consumers with an affordable, easy to use digital camera that still offered a competitive feature set," said David Troy, marketing manager, Consumer Digital Cameras, Electronic Imaging Division, FUJIFILM U.S.A., Inc. "The new A170 and A220 combine this in a highly portable form factor making it easier than ever to ensure that you never miss a shot and the convenience of AA battery power." Besides the SD memory card slot, both cameras feature an additional 20MB for extra images when your card gets filled. Also, standard movie capturing is available, with zoom and sound at 30 frames per second. Usage of AA batteries is most convenient for on-the-go digital camera users since you don't need to remember charging battery packs; it allows for lots of pictures to be taken, and the best part is that you can easily find spare batteries and replace them when they're out. The Fujifilm A170 will soon be available, as stated to debut in late July for a retail price of $89.95, while the A220 should go out around August for $99.95.
