Special Features and Important Information
Waterproof, Dustproof, Shock Resistant Performance
• The camera’s waterproof and dustproof
performance is equivalent to IP68.
• This camera has passed our in-house drop
test (1 m [3 ft. 3 in.] fall onto a 5 cm [1.5 in.] thick
plywood surface) in accordance with MIL-
Standard 810F Method 516.5-Shock.
* Test conditions determined in-house. Does not
guarantee the product to be free of the risks of
damage, malfunction, or water damage in all
conditions.
* The supplied accessories are not waterproof.
What You Should Remember Before Using the Camera
• A sheet of protective glass is located at the
front of the lens. Clear photos will not be
possible if this glass is dirty; always keep the
protective glass clean.
• Make sure to close the battery-chamber cover
securely. If water, dirt or sand gets inside the
camera, malfunction may result.
• Do not open or close the battery-chamber
cover on/by the sea, a lake or similar locations.
Similarly, do not open or close the cover with
wet hands.
• Before changing your battery or memory card,
make sure that the camera and your hands are
completely dry.
• The camera sinks in water. Attach the supplied
strap, and keep the strap around your wrist
while using the camera.
What You Should Remember When Using the Camera
• Do not use the camera in water 3 meters (9.8
feet) or deeper.
• Do not use the camera in water for more than 2
hours consecutively.
• Do not open or close the battery-chamber
cover in water.
• Do not use the camera in hot water, for
example in a hot spring bath.
• Do not apply excessive force to the camera.
The camera may be damaged if you dive into
water with it, for example.
• Do not leave the camera on sand. Not only can
sand get into the speaker and microphone, but
it can become extremely hot if it is exposed
to direct sunlight, exceeding the camera’s
approved operating temperature.

vii
Special Features and Important Information
• Wash sunscreen or suntan oil o the
camera immediately with warm water if you
accidentally spill or apply any. The oils may
discolor the camera.
• Should you subject the camera to substantial
vibration, shock or pressure, it may be less
resistant to water. Contact the store where you
purchased the camera, or our Repair Service.
What You Should Remember After Using the Camera
• Be sure to wipe any dirt or sand o the
waterproof sealing material or its contacting
surface. Dirt or sand may scratch the material
or the surface, making the camera less resistant
to water.
• To wash sand, dirt or dust o the camera, rinse
it under running tap water or soak it in a bowl
of fresh water for 2 or 3 minutes.
• Do not use any soapy water, mild detergents,
alcohol or similar liquids to clean the camera.
They may make the camera less resistant to
water.
• After using the camera, wipe any water or
dirt o the camera with a dry cloth, close the
battery-chamber cover securely, and then soak
the camera in fresh water for 10 minutes. Next,
dry the camera completely.
Storage and Care
• Do not leave the camera in a location where
the temperature is 40°C (104°F) or higher, or 0°C
(32°F) or lower.
• The waterproof sealing material is replaceable
at cost. The material should be replaced once a
year to maintain the camera’s water resistance.
For details, contact the store where you
purchased the camera, or our Repair Service.
■
Using the Camera in Cold Climates
When the camera is used in cold climates,
battery performance and the number of pictures
that can be taken are temporarily reduced. We
recommend keeping the camera in a thermal
case or inside clothing when using it in cold
climates.
• Use the included NP-45A battery.
• The speed with which the monitor displays
information is reduces in low temperatures. This
is a characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and
is not a malfunction.

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 79). 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
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-denition 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.
