The table below shows the standard number of available frames for a new xD-Picture Card formatted on the camera. The larger the xD-Picture Card capacity, the greater the divergence between the actual number of available frames and the number shown here. Also, because the amount of data recorded for a shot varies depending on the subject, in some cases the number of shots may decrease by 2 or may remain the same. As a result, the actual number of recordable shots may either decrease or increase.

Explanation of Terms

Deactivated batteries: Leaving an Ni-MH battery unused in storage for a long period may cause a rise in the level of substances that inhibit current flow inside the battery and result in a dormant battery. A battery in this state is referred to as deactivated. Because current flow is inhibited in a deactivated Ni-MH battery, the battery's original level of performance cannot be achieved. DPOF: Digital Print Order Format DPOF is a format used for recording information on a storage media (image memory card, etc.) that allows you to specify which of the frames shot using a digital camera are printed and how many prints are made of each image. 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. Frame rate (fps): The frame rate is a unit used to indicate the number of images (frames) played back per second. This camera shoots movie files at 10 consecutive frames per second, a rate that is expressed as 10 fps. By comparison, TV images are played at 30 fps. 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. Memory effect: If an Ni-MH battery is repeatedly charged without first being fully discharged, its performance may drop below its original level. This is referred to as the memory effect. Motion JPEG: A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format that handles images and sound as a single file. Images in the file are recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG can be played back by QuickTime 3.0 or later. PC Card: A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card Standard. PC Card Standard: A standard for PC cards determined by the PCMCIA. PCMCIA: Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (US). White Balance: Whatever the kind of the light, the human eye adapts to it so that a white object still looks white. On the other hand, devices such as digital cameras see a white subject as white by first adjusting the color balance to suit the color of the ambient light around the subject. This adjustment is called matching the white balance. A function that automatically matches the white balance is called an Automatic White Balance function.

Do not disassemble.

Do not heat, modify or attempt to disassemble the batteries. Do not drop or subject the batteries to impacts. Do not attempt to recharge lithium or alkaline batteries. Do not store the batteries with metallic products. Do not use chargers other than the specified model to charge the batteries. Any of these actions can cause the batteries to burst or leak and cause fire or injury as a result. Use only the batteries or AC power adapters specified for use with this camera. Do not use voltages other than the power supply voltage shown. The use of other power sources can cause a fire. If the battery leaks and fluid gets into your eyes or comes into contact with your skin or clothing, this can cause injury or loss of eyesight. Immediately flush the affected area thoroughly with clean water and seek medical treatment. Do not use the charger to charge batteries other than those specified here. The charger is designed for Fujifilm HRAA Ni-MH batteries. Using the charger to charge conventional batteries or other types of rechargeable batteries can cause the batteries to leak fluid, overheat or burst. When discarding or storing batteries, cover the batteries terminals with insulation tape. h Contact with other metallic objects or batteries could cause the batteries to ignite or burst. Keep xD-Picture Cards out of the reach of small children. Because xD-Picture Cards are small, they can be accidentally swallowed by small children. Be sure to store xDPicture Cards out of the reach of small children. If a child accidentally swallows an xD-Picture Card, seek medical advice immediately.
Do not use this camera in locations severely affected by oil fumes, steam, humidity or dust. This can cause a fire or electric shock. Do not leave this camera in places subject to extremely high temperatures. Do not leave the camera in locations such as a sealed vehicle or in direct sunlight. This can cause a fire. Keep out of the reach of small children. This product could cause injury in the hands of a child. Do not place heavy objects on the camera.
