� Notes on Handling Batteries �hIt is recommended that you use same brand

of alkaline batteries as those supplied with thecamera.hDo not use different types of batteries or old

and new batteries together.hYou cannot use lithium, manganese or nickel-

cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries.hThe operating lives of alkaline batteries vary

between brands and the life of batteries youpurchase may be shorter than the alkalinebatteries provided with the camera. Note alsothat due to the nature of alkaline batteries, thetime for which they can be used is shorter in coldlocations (at temperatures of +10°C (+50°F) orbelow). Consequently, Ni-MH batteries arerecommended.hSoiling (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of

batteries can greatly reduce the time for whichthe batteries provide power.hYou will need the optional charger (➡P.65) to

recharge Ni-MH batteries.hSee P.68 for notes on using batteries.

Notes on Using Your Camera Correctly

� Places to AvoidDo not store or use the camera in the following types oflocations:hVery humid, dirty or dusty placesh In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme

temperature rises, such as in a closed car in summer. Extremely cold placeshPlaces subject to strong vibrationhPlaces affected by smoke or steamhPlaces subject to strong magnetic fields (such as near

motors, transformers or magnets)h In contact with chemicals such as pesticides or next to

rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time

� Do not expose the camera to sand.The FinePix A101 is particularly and adversely affected bysand. In sandy locations such as beaches or deserts, or inlocations where there is wind borne sand, ensure that thecamera is not exposed to sand. This can cause faults thatmay be irreparable.

� Notes on CondensationIf the camera is carried suddenly from a cold location into awarm place, water droplets (condensation) may form onthe inside of the camera or on the lens. When this occurs,switch the camera off and wait an hour before using thecamera. Condensation may also form on the SmartMedia

card. In this event, remove the SmartMedia and wait ashort time before using it again.

� When the Camera is Unused for Long PeriodsIf you do not intend to use the camera for a long period, oftime remove the batteries and the SmartMedia card beforestoring the camera.

� Cleaning Your CamerahUse a blower brush to remove dust from the lens, LCD

monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces, and thenwipe lightly with a soft, dry cloth. If any soiling remains,apply a small amount of lens cleaning liquid to a piece ofFUJIFILM lens cleaning paper and wipe gently.hDo not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD

monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces are easilydamaged.hClean the body of the camera with a soft, dry cloth. Do

not use volatile substances such as thinners, benzine orinsecticide, as these may react with camera body andcause deformation or remove the coating.

� Using the Camera OverseasWhen travelling overseas, do not place your camera in thecheck-in baggage. Baggage handling at airports maysubject baggage to violent shocks, and the camera may bedamaged internally even when no external damage isvisible.

eBe sure to read this information in conjunction with “Safety Notes” (➡P.81), to ensure that you useyour camera correctly.

hSoil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals canmarkedly reduce the number of available shots. Carefullywipe the battery terminals clean with a soft dry cloth beforeloading the batteries.

If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe the batterycompartment thoroughly and then load new batteries.If any battery fluid comes into contact with your hands orclothing, flush the area thoroughly with water. Note thatbattery fluid can cause loss of eyesight if it gets into youreyes. If this occurs, do not rub your eyes. Flush the fluid outwith clean water and contact your physician for treatment.

� Disposing of BatteriesWhen disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with yourlocal waste disposal regulations.

� Notes on Small Rechargeable Batteries (Ni-MHbatteries)

hAlways use the special battery charger to charge AA-sizeNi-MH batteries. Charge the batteries as described in theinstructions provided with the battery charger.hDo not use the battery charger to charge batteries other

than those specified for use with the charger.hNote that the batteries may feel warm immediately after

being charged.hNi-MH batteries are not charged at shipment. Be sure to

charge the batteries before using them.h The camera mechanism is such that it draws a minute

amount of current even when the camera is switched off.Take particular care not to leave Ni-MH batteries in the

camera for a long period of time as they can becomeexcessively discharged and may no longer be usableeven when charged.hNi-MH batteries self-discharge even when not used.

Always charge Ni-MH batteries before using them. If thetime for which a battery provides power shortensmarkedly when it has been correctly charged, thisindicates that the battery has reached the end of itseffective life and should be replaced.hSoiling (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of Ni-MH

batteries can greatly reduce the number of availableshots. When this occurs, clean the terminals carefullywith a soft dry cloth. Then use up the remaining charge inthe batteries and recharge them.hNewly purchased batteries or batteries that have been

left unused for an extended period may not be fullycharged. (This is indicated by the immediate display ofthe battery low warning or a low number of availableshots.) This is a normal characteristic of the batteries anddoes not indicate a fault. Repeatedly charging and usingthe batteries 3 or 4 times will restore them to a normalcondition.h If you repeatedly charge a Ni-MH battery before it is fully

discharged, it will suffer from the "memory effect"*,causing the battery low warning to appear while there isstill ample charge remaining in the battery. To restore thebatteries to their normal condition, use up all the chargein the batteries before recharging them.

hAA-size alkaline, Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride) can beused with this camera.Do not use AA-size manganese, lithium batteries in yourFinePix A101 because the heat generated by thebatteries could damage the camera or causemalfunctions.h The operating lives of alkaline batteries vary between

brands and the life of batteries you purchase may beshorter than the alkaline batteries provided with thecamera.

hDo not use batteries that are leaking, deformed,discolored or exhibit any other obvious abnormality.hDo not store batteries in very warm or moist locations.hKeep the batteries out of reach of babies and small

children.hWhen loading the batteries into the camera, ensure that the

battery polarity (+and - ) is as indicated on the camera.hDo not use new batteries together with used batteries. In

the case of rechargeable batteries, do not use chargedand discharged batteries together. Do not use batteriesof different types or brands together.h If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of

time, remove the batteries from the camera. (Note that ifthe camera is left with the batteries removed, the timeand date settings are cleared.)h The batteries may feel warm immediately after being

used. Before removing the batteries, switch the cameraoff and wait until the batteries cool down.hWhen replacing the batteries, always fit 2 new batteries.

Here, 'new batteries' refers to either recently purchasedunused alkaline batteries, or Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride)batteries that have recently been fully recharged together.h In cold locations (at temperatures of +10°C/+50°F or below),

battery performance deteriorates and the time for which theycan be used shortens markedly. This is particularly true ofalkaline batteries. In cold conditions, put the batteries in yourpocket or a similar place to warm them before loading theminto the camera. If you use a body warmer to warm thebatteries, ensure that they are not in direct contact with thewarmer.

Applicable Batteries

Notes on the Power Supply

Incorrect use of the batteries could cause them to leak,become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe theprecautions given below.hDo not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.hDo not carry or store a battery with metal objects such as

necklaces or hairpins that could come into contact withthe metal positive +and negative - poles of the battery.hDo not expose the batteries to fresh or sea water, and

take particular care to keep the terminals dry.hDo not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the

batteries.hDo not attempt to peel off or cut the battery casing.hDo not drop, strike or otherwise subject the batteries to

strong impacts.

Explanation of Terms

DPOF: Digital Print Order FormatDPOF is a format used for recording information on a storage media (image memory card, etc.) that allowsyou to specify which of the frames shot using a digital camera are printed and how many prints are made ofeach image.EV:A number that denotes exposure. The EV is determined by the brightness of the subject and sensitivity (speed) ofthe film or CCD. The number is larger for bright subjects and smaller for dark subjects. As the brightness of thesubject changes, a digital camera maintains the amount of light hitting the CCD at a constant level by adjustingthe 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.JPEG:Joint Photographics Experts GroupA file format used for compressing and saving color images. The compression ratio can be selected, but the higher thecompression ratio, the poorer the quality of the expanded image.Motion JPEG:A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format that handles images and sound as a single file. Images inthe 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 otherhand, devices such as digital cameras see a white subject as white by first adjusting the color balance to suitthe color of the ambient light around the subject. This adjustment is called matching the white balance. Afunction that automatically matches the white balance is called an Automatic White Balance function.
