If ou get lost in the Menus, don’t start randoml hitting buttons! Get out by hitting the
“DISP/BACK” button at the bottom of the back side.
Charging the Batter
In viewing mode, a battery icon appears at the lower right side of the screen, showing the battery
state. If this is blinking or solid red, the battery needs to be recharged. The charger is in the
“treasure box” of the “clean bag” of the Streamkeeper field kit.
Turn camera off before removing the battery. With the
camera in the position shown, locate a small slider
button marked “OPEN” in the center of the bottom.
Slide this away from you and then to the right, and the
cover will release. Raise it as shown in the figure. The
battery is held in place by an orange tab. Push this to
the left and the battery will pop up. Insert the battery
into the charger with the orange stripe on the left and
the terminals facing down. The charging indicator
will glow yellow when the battery is charging and green when it is fully charged. If it blinks yellow,
remove the battery – there is a charging problem. Insert the battery with the orange stripe on the
battery next to the orange tab on the camera. Push it in and it will snap into place. Lower the
cover and push to the left to latch. Be sure that it is securely closed and snaps into place.

A monopod is supplied in your kit, which can be used to steady the camera in very low light
situations. This can be screwed into a socket on the bottom of the camera.

SETTING MENUS FOR THE FUJI XP10 DIGITAL CAMERA
Under normal circumstances, when the camera is turned on it will have already appropriate
settings. However, should the settings be changed, the following instructions show how to go
through the setting menus and select the proper options.
DATE/TIME will appear just for a few seconds when you first turn on the camera. Confirm that
these are correct. If not, see instructions below.
INITIAL SCREEN: After the date disappears, the screen should show a view of whatever the
lens is looking at, with various types of information on the screen and no grid. If there is no
information on the screen, or there’s a grid, double-click the DISP/BACK button until the grid is
gone and the information shows. (There are three possible views: information with grid,
information only, and no information.)
About the DISP/BACK button: This button, located at the bottom underneath MENU/OK
button and the playback arrow, is easily pushed by mistake.
AVOID “SILENT” MODE: If the display shows the SILENT mode symbol at top center: ,
get out of it by pressing and holding the DISP/BACK button until that symbol goes away.
STREAMKEEPERS’ PREFERRED MENU
CHOICES: This procedure makes use of
selection buttons on the back of the camera as
