Inserting a Memory CardAlthough the camera can store pictures in internal memory, SD memory cards (sold separately) canbe 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 becomecorrupted, the pictures in internal memory should periodically be transferred to a computer andsaved on the computer hard disk or on removable media such as CDs or DVDs. The pictures ininternal memory can also be copied to a memory card (see page 68). To prevent internal memoryfrom 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 CardsCompatible Memory CardsSanDisk SD and SDHC memory cards have been tested and approved for use in the camera. Acomplete 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 withMultiMediaCard (MMC) or xD-Picture cards.

C Caution

Inserting a Memory Card

C Cautions• Format memory cards before first use, and be sure to reformat all memory cards after using them in a

computer or other device. For more information on formatting memory cards, see page 76.

• Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep out of reach of children. If a child swallows a memorycard, seek medical assistance immediately.• Do not use miniSD or microSD adapters that expose the back of the card. Failure to observe

this precaution may cause damage or malfunction. Adapters that are larger or smaller thanthe standard dimensions of an SD card may not eject normally; if the card does not eject,take the camera to an authorized service representative. Do not forcibly remove the card.

• Do not turn the camera off or remove the memory card while the memory card is being formatted or data arebeing recorded to or deleted from the card. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card.

• Do not affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.• Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of memory card.• The data in internal memory may be erased or corrupted when the camera is repaired. Please note that the

repairer will be able to view pictures in internal memory.• Formatting a memory card or internal memory in the camera creates a folder in which pictures are stored.

Do not rename or delete this folder or use a computer or other device to edit, delete, or rename imagefiles. Always use the camera to delete pictures from memory cards and internal memory; before editing or

renaming files, copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.

GlossaryDigital zoom: Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of visible detail. Instead, detailsvisible using optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image.

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format): A standard that allows pictures to be printed from “print orders”stored in internal memory or on a memory card. The information in the order includes the pictures to

EV (Exposure Value): The exposure value is determined by the sensitivity of the image sensor and the amountof light that enters the camera while the image sensor is exposed. Each time the amount of light doubles, EVincreases by one; each time the amount of light is halved, EV decreases by one. The amount of light enteringthe camera can be controlled by adjusting aperture and shutter speed.

Exif Print: A standard that allows information stored with pictures to be used for optimal color reproductionduring printing.

JPEG (Joint P hotographic Experts G roup): A compressed file format for color images. The higher the compressionrate, the greater the loss of information and more noticeable drop in quality when the picture is displayed.

Motion JPEG: An AVI (Audio Video Interleave) format that stores images and sound in a single file, with the imagesrecorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG files can be played in QuickTime 3.0 or later.

Smear: A phenomenon specific to CCDs which causes white streaks to appear when very bright light sources,such as the sun or reflected sunlight, appear in the frame.

WAV (Waveform Audio Format): A standard Windows audio file format. WAV files have the extension “*.WAV” andmay be compressed or uncompressed. The camera uses uncompressed WAV. WAV files can be played usingWindows Media Player or QuickTime 3.0 or later.

White balance: The human brain automatically adapts to changes in the color of light, with the result that objectsthat appear white under one light source still appear white when the color of the light source changes. Digitalcameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. Thisprocess is known as “white balance.”

Internal Memory/Memory Card Capacity The following table shows the recording time or number of pictures available at different imagequalities. All figures are approximate; file size varies with the scene recorded, producing widevariations in the number of files that can be stored. The number of exposures or length remainingmay not diminish at an even rate.

Notices• Specifications subject to change without notice. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting from

errors in this manual.• Although the monitor is manufactured using advanced high-precision technology, small bright points and

anomalous colors (particularly in the vicinity of text) may appear. This is normal for this type of monitor anddoes not indicate a malfunction; images recorded with the camera are unaffected.

• Digital cameras may malfunction when exposed to strong radio interference (e.g., electric fields, staticelectricity, or line noise).

• Due to the type of lens used, some distortion may occur at the periphery of images. This is normal.

Caring for the Camera To ensure continued enjoyment of the product, observe the following precautions.Storage and UseStorage and UseIf the camera will not be used for an extendedperiod, remove the battery and memory card.Do not store or use the camera in locations that

can cause condensation inside the camera. If

this occurs, turn the camera off and wait an hourbefore turning it on again. If condensation formson the memory card, remove the card and waitfor the condensation to dissipate.

CleaningCleaningUse 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 wipinggently with a piece of FUJIFILM lens-cleaningpaper to which a small amount of lens-cleaningfluid has been applied. Care should be taken toavoid scratching the lens or monitor. The camerabody can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatilechemicals.

TravelingTravelingKeep the camera in your carry-on baggage.Checked baggage may suffer violent shocks thatcould damage the camera.
