Introduction
The Mode Dial
The Mode Dial
To select a shooting mode, align the mode icon with the mark next
to the mode dial.
A(NATURAL & K): Helps ensure good
results in situations with difficult lighting.
Each time the shutter button is pressed,
the camera takes two shots: one shot
without the flash to preserve natural
lighting, followed immediately by a
second shot with the flash (pg. 34).
k(AUTO): A simple “point-and-shoot”
mode recommended for first-time users
of digital cameras (pg. 14).
O: Improve clarity, reduce noise,
increase dynamic range, or let the camera
automatically adjust settings to suit the
scene (pg. 32).
B(NATURAL LIGHT): Capture natural light
indoors, under low light, or where the
flash can not be used (pg. 35).
P(PROGRAM AE): Select for full control over
all camera settings except shutter speed
(pg. 39). Choose between program and
aperture-priority AE.
M(MANUAL): Select for full control over
camera settings, including shutter speed
and aperture (pg. 38).
A(MOVIE): Record movies with sound
(pg. 47).
SP (SCENE POSITION): Choose a scene suited
to the subject or shooting conditions and
let the camera do the rest (pg. 35).

BTips: Using an AC Adapter
• The camera can be powered by an optional AC
adapter and DC coupler (sold separately). See
manuals provided with the AC adapter and DC
coupler for details.
• If the camera is powered by an AC adapter, demo
mode instructions will be displayed when the
camera is turned on. Selecting this option starts a
slide show. To cancel, press the shutter button.
CCautions
• 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.
• 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.

8
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.
CCaution
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.

release it slowly. The card can
now be removed by hand.
CCautions

being removed from the camera. This is normal
and does not indicate a malfunction.

Inserting a Memory Card
CCautions
• 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 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.
• 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 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 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.
