1. BASIC PROCEDURE
LOADTHE BATTERY
•Use one 3V CR123A lithium battery.
•A new lithium battery will provide power for taking about 300 pictures, including
150 with flash (as tested according to Fujifilm’s battery testing procedure).
1. Open the battery compartment cover
Push the Cover’s grained part up (toward the camera back) and open the Cover
toward you.
2. Insert the battery
Insert the battery in the Battery Compartment, minus -end first, then press in the
plus +end and close the Battery Compartment Cover.

3. Check the loaded battery
Push the Lens Cover Button downward.If the Lens Cover opens and the lens barrel
moves out into shooting position (wideangle), the battery is loaded correctly.
•If the Flash Sign ( ) in the LCD blinks for 12 seconds or more after taking a flash picture, the
battery is spent. Change the battery with a new one as soon as possible.
•If you are going on a trip or are planning to take lots of pictures, take a spare battery along with
you just in case you might need it.This is especially true if you are travelling abroad because in
some countries you may not be able to obtain the type of battery you want.

ATTACH THE STRAP
Pass the looped end of the strap through the camera’s Strap Lug, then pass the
other end of the strap through the loop and pull it firmly.

LOADTHE FILM
1. Open the camera back
To open, hold the camera bottom side up and push the Camera Back Lock down-
ward.
2. Insert the film
Just push the film gently into the Film Chamber.
•Do not open the Camera Back all the way.It is normally set to open about 15°or just enough to
drop the film in smoothly and surely.
•Be sure to use 35 mm DX roll film (film marked DX on the box and cartridge).
•Always use your film before the expiration date printed on the film box.

3. Check the film tip position
Make sure the film tip falls within the FilmTip Mark (green lines in the far end of the
film track).
4. Close the camera back
As soon as you close the Camera Back, the Exposure Counter will run though
rapidly and the film will prewind itself up to the very end.(If the film is a 24-exposure
roll, it will prewind itself in about 20 seconds and the Exposure Counter will stop at
the number “24”).
•If the film leader (the length of film protruding from the cartridge) is too short or too long, how-
ever, you’ll have to adjust it before dropping the cartridge into the camera.To adjust, pull the film
out or wind it in so that the film tip will fall within the camera’s Film Tip Mark (green lines).
•The Film ConfirmationWindow will show the type and speed of the loaded film and the number
of exposures it contains.
