Product Care
Camera body: For continued enjoyment of your camera, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera body
after each use. Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals, which could discolor or deform
the leather on the camera body. Any liquid on the camera should be removed immediately with a
soft, dry cloth. Use a blower to remove dust from the monitor, taking care to avoid scratches, and 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 fluid has been applied. To
prevent dust entering the camera, replace the body cap when no lens is in place.
Image sensor: Dust can be removed from the image sensor using the V SENSOR CLEANING option in
the setup menu (P 102).
Interchangeable lenses: Use a blower to remove dust, 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 fluid has been applied. Replace the front and rear caps when the lens
is not use.

Failure to observe this precaution could make it impossible to remove the battery from the camera.
• Do not short the battery terminals. The battery could
overheat.
• Read the cautions in “The Battery and Power Supply”
(P v).
• Use only battery chargers designated for use with the
battery. Failure to observe this precaution could result in product malfunction.
• Do not remove the labels from the battery or attempt
to split or peel the outer casing.
• The battery gradually loses its charge when not in
use. Charge the battery one or two days before use.
Inserting the Battery and a Memory Card
■ Compatible Memory Cards
FUJIFILM and SanDisk SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards have been approved for use in the camera. A complete list of approved memory cards is available at http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_
cameras/compatibility/. Operation is not guaranteed with other cards. The camera can not be used
with xD-Picture Cards or MultiMediaCard (MMC) devices.
First Steps
Q Memory Cards
• Do not turn the camera off or remove the memory card while the memory card is being formatted or data are
being recorded to or deleted from the card. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card.
• 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 106.
• Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep out of reach of children. If a child swallows a memory card,
seek medical assistance immediately.
• miniSD or microSD adapters that are larger or smaller than the standard dimensions of an SD/SDHC/SDXC 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 affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.
• Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card. Use a H card or
better for movies and burst photography.
• Formatting a memory card 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 image files. Always use the camera to
delete pictures; before editing or renaming files, copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not
the originals. Renaming the files on the camera can cause problems during playback.

the frames together perfectly. The last part of the panorama may not be recorded if shooting ends before the
panorama is complete.
Q Shooting may be interrupted if the camera is panned too quickly or too slowly. Panning the camera in a direction other than that shown cancels shooting.
Q The desired results may not be achieved with moving subjects, subjects close to the camera, unvarying subjects such as the sky or a field of grass, subjects that are in constant motion, such as waves and waterfalls, or
subjects that undergo marked changes in brightness. Panoramas may be blurred if the subject is poorly lit.

select L (100), H (12800), or H (25600) for special situations. Higher values can be used to reduce
blur when lighting is poor, while lower values allow slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright
light; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities, particularly at
H (25600), while choosing L (100) reduces dynamic range. Values of from ISO 200 to ISO 6400 are

Q Depending on the distance to the subject, some lenses may cast shadows in photos taken with the flash.
R Lowering the flash turns the flash off (P) and prevents it firing even when the subject is poorly lit; use of a
tripod is recommended. Lower the flash where flash photography is prohibited or to capture natural lighting
under dim light. We also recommend that you lower the flash when the camera is off.
R If p is displayed when the shutter button is pressed halfway, the flash will fire when the photo is taken.
R Except in commander mode, the flash may fire several times with each shot. Do not move the camera until
shooting is complete.
Flash Sync Speed
The flash will synchronize with the shutter at shutter speeds of 1/180 s or slower.
Optional Flash Units
The camera can also be used with optional FUJIFILM shoe-mounted flash units. Do not use third-party flash
units that apply over 300 V to the camera hot shoe.

• Although the LCD monitor is manufactured using advanced high-precision technology, small bright points and
anomalous colors may appear, particularly in the vicinity of text. This is normal for this type of LCD display and
does 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, static electricity,
or line noise).
• Due to the type of lens used, some distortion may occur at the periphery of images. This is normal.
