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 67). 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.

■

Cautions

• If no face is detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway (pg. 82), the camera will focus on the subject at the center of the monitor and red-eye will not be removed. If the camera is unable to detect a face, turn Intelligent Face

Detection off and use focus lock (pg. 23).

• If the subject moves as the shutter button is pressed, their face may not be in the area indicated by the green border when the picture is taken.

• In each shooting mode, the camera will detect and focus on faces but exposure will be optimized for the entire scene rather than the selected portrait subject.

Although the camera boasts a high-precision autofocus system, it may be unable to focus on the subjects listed below. If the camera is unable to focus using autofocus, use focus lock (pg. 23) to focus on another subject at the same distance and then recompose the photograph.

• Very shiny subjects such as mirrors or car bodies.

• Fast-moving subjects.

• Subjects photographed through a window or other refl ective object.

• Dark subjects and subjects that absorb rather than refl ect light, such as hair or fur.

• Insubstantial subjects, such as smoke or fl ame.

• Subjects that show little contrast with the background (for example, subjects in clothing that is the same color as the background).

Glossary

Digital zoom: Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of visible detail. Instead, details visible 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 be printed and the number of copies of each picture.

EV (Exposure Value): The exposure value is determined by the sensitivity of the image sensor and the amount of light that enters the camera while the image sensor is exposed. Each time the amount of light doubles, EV increases by one; each time the amount of light is halved, EV decreases by one. The amount of light entering the 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 reproduction during printing.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): A compressed fi le format for color images. The higher the compression rate, the greater the loss of information and more noticeable drop in quality when the picture is displayed.

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

WAV (Waveform Audio Format): A standard Windows audio fi le format. WAV fi les have the extension “*.WAV” and may be compressed or uncompressed. The camera uses uncompressed WAV. WAV fi les can be played using

Windows 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 objects that appear white under one light source still appear white when the color of the light source changes. Digital cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This process is known as “white balance”.

Notices

• Specifi cations 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 and does not indicate a malfunction; images recorded with the camera are unaff ected.

• Digital cameras may malfunction when exposed to strong radio interference (e.g., electric fi elds, static electricity, 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.

If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery 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 fi 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.

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.

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 fl 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.

Keep the camera in your carry-on baggage.

Checked baggage may suff er violent shocks that could damage the camera.
