Charging the Battery
First Steps
Caution: Caring for the Battery
• Do not affix stickers or other objects to the battery. 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.
• Only use batteries designed for use with this product. 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.
• Read the supplied documentation for additional cautions concerning battery use.
Caution: Battery Life
• A noticeable decrease in the length of time the battery will hold a charge indicates that it has reached the end
of its service life and should be replaced.
Caution: Using the Battery Charger
• Unplug the charger when it is not in use.
• Remove dirt from the battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth. Failure to observe this precaution could prevent
the battery from charging.
• Charging times increase at low temperatures.

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, dappears 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 81). 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.
■
■
Compatible Memory Cards
Compatible Memory Cards
SanDisk SD and SDHC memory cards have been tested and approved for use in the camera. A
complete 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 with
MultiMediaCard (MMC) or xD-Picture Cards.
When recording high-definition movies, use a memory card rated at Class 4 (write speed of 4 MB per
second) or higher.
Caution
• SD memory cards can be locked, making it impossible to format the card
or to record or delete images. Before inserting an SD memory card, slide
the write-protect switch to the unlocked position.

battery-chamber cover. Press the card in and then
release it slowly. The card can now be removed by
hand.
Caution
• The memory card may spring out if you remove
your finger immediately after pushing the card in.
• Memory cards may be warm to the touch after
being removed from the camera. This is normal
and does not indicate a malfunction.

11
Inserting a Memory Card
First Steps
Caution
• Format SD 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 89.
• 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 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 are being 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 SD 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
image files. 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.
