• AA-size alkaline batteries (4), or optional AA-size Ni-MH batteries (4).
_t Please use the same brand andgrade AA-size alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera.
.............@ HOW to use the battery @
eNever use the following types of battery, as this could cause serious Outer casing
problems such as battery fluid leakage or overheating : I
1. Batteries with split or peeling outer casings _,
2. Combinations of different types of batteries or new and used batteries
together
• Do not use manganese or Ni-Od batteries.
• Soil, such as fingermarks on the poles of the batteries can significantly reduce the amount of time
for which the batteries can be used.
• The time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referred to hereafter simply as alkaline batteries)
can be used varies depending on the brand, and some alkaline batteries may stop providing
power more quickly than those supplied with the camera. Note also that due to their nature, the
time for which alkaline batteries can be used decreases in cold conditions (0°C to +10°C). The
use of AA-size Ni-MH batteries is recommended for this reason.
• Use Fujifilm Battery charger (sold separately) to charge AA-size Ni-MH batteries.
• See P.97-99 for other notes on using batteries,
•When first purchased or if left unused for a log period, the time for which AA-size Ni-MH
batteries or rechargeable Battery NH-10 can be used may be shorter. See P.98 for details,

lamp switches off) before opening the battery
cover.
If you open the battery cover while the camerais switchedon,

of batteries used, the transition from "(:1_" to "C::]" may occur more quickly.
_;:[When the batteries runs flat, "C::]" is displayed and camera operation automatically stops. When this occurs, the
camera may work if you switch it on again even without loading new or fully charged batteries. However, this may
cause camera faults such as the camera switching itself off without retracting the lens. Always load new or fully
charged batteries.
_t Due to the nature of the battery, the battery low warning may appear early when the camera is used in cold locations.
This is normal and does not indicate a fault. Try warming the batteries in your pocket or a similar location before use.
F,_ _ Power save function @
When this function is active, it also switches off the LCD monitor to reduce power consumption if the
camera is not used for 30 seconds (See P.75 for details). If the camera is then left unused for a further
period (2 minutes or 5 minutes), the Power save function automatically switches the camera off. To
switch the camera back on, turn the Power switch to turn the camera off briefly and then turn it back on.
