Do not use this camera in locations affected by oil fumes, steam humidity or dust. This can cause a re 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 re. 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. This can cause the heavy object to tip over or fall and cause injury. Do not cover or wrap the camera in a cloth or blanket. This can cause heat to build up and distort the casing or cause a re. When you are cleaning the camera or you do not plan to use the camera for an extended period, remove the batteries. Failure to do so can cause a re or electric shock. When charging ends, unplug the charger from the power socket. Leaving the charger plugged into the power socket can cause a re. Using a flash too close to a persons eyes may temporarily affect the eyesight. Take particular care when photographing infants and young children. When a memory card is removed, the card could come out of the slot too quickly. Use your finger to hold it and gently release the card. Request regular internal testing and cleaning for your camera. Build-up of dust in your camera can cause a re or electric shock. Contact your FUJIFILM dealer to request internal cleaning every two years. Please note that this service is not free of charge.
Do not use the camera in the bathroom or shower. This can cause a re or electric shock. Never attempt to change or take apart the camera. (Never open the casing.) Do not use the camera when it has been dropped or the casing is damaged. This can cause a re or electric shock. Contact your FUJIFILM dealer. Do not change, heat or unduly twist or pull the connection cord and do not place heavy objects on the connection cord. These actions could damage the cord and cause a re or electric shock. If the cord is damaged, contact your FUJIFILM dealer. Do not place the camera on an unstable surface. This can cause the camera to fall or tip over and cause injury. Never attempt to take pictures while in motion. Do not use the camera while you are walking or driving a vehicle. This can result in you falling down or being involved in a trac accident. Do not touch any metal parts of the camera during a thunderstorm. This can cause an electric shock due to induced current from the lightning discharge. Do not use the batteries except as specified. Load the batteries as shown by the indicator. Do not heat, change or take apart the batteries. Do not drop or subject the batteries to impacts. Do not store the batteries with metallic products. Any of these actions can cause the batteries to burst or leak and cause re or injury as a result. Use only the batteries specified for use with this camera. The use of other power sources can cause a re. If the batteries leak and fluid gets in contact with your eyes, skin or clothing, flush the affected area with clean water and seek medical attention or call an emergency number right away. When carrying the batteries, install them in a digital camera or keep them in the hard case. When storing the batteries, keep them in the hard case. When discarding, cover the battery terminals with insulation tape. Contact with other metallic objects or batteries could cause the batteries to ignite or burst. Keep memory cards out of the reach of small children. Because memory cards are small, they can be swallowed by children. Be sure to store memory cards out of the reach of small children. If a child swallows a memory card, seek medical attention or call an emergency number.

Caring for the Camera

To ensure continued enjoyment of the product, observe the following precautions. Storage and Use If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries and memory card. Do not store or use the camera in locations that are: exposed to rain, steam, or smoke very humid or extremely dusty exposed to direct sunlight or very high temperatures, such as in a closed vehicle on a sunny day extremely cold subject to strong vibration exposed to strong magnetic elds, such as near a broadcasting antenna, power line, radar emitter, motor, transformer, or magnet in contact with volatile chemicals such as pesticides next to rubber or vinyl products Water and Sand Exposure to water and sand can also damage the camera and its internal circuitry and mechanisms. When using the camera at the beach or seaside, avoid exposing the camera to water or sand. Do not place the camera on a wet surface. 66 Condensation Sudden increases in temperature, such as occur when entering a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation inside the camera. If this occurs, turn the camera off and wait an hour before turning it on again. If condensation forms on the memory card, remove the card and wait for the condensation to dissipate. Cleaning Use a blower to remove dust from the lens and monitor, then gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Any remaining stains can be removed by wiping gently with a piece of FUJIFILM lens-cleaning paper to which a small amount of lens-cleaning uid has been applied. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the lens or monitor. The camera body can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals. Travelling Keep the camera in your carry-on baggage. Checked baggage may suer violent shocks that could damage the camera.
