Charging the Battery
First Steps
Cautions: Caring for the Battery
• The only types of batteries you can use are NP-45A.
• Use only the camera to charge NP-45A. Failure to observe this precaution could result in product malfunction.
• Do not ax 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.
• 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.
Cautions: Charging the Battery
• 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.

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 67). 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.

Inserting a Memory Card
First Steps
Removing Memory Cards
Be sure the camera is o before opening the battery-
chamber cover. Press the card in and then release it
slowly. The card can now be removed by hand.
Cautions
• The memory card may spring out if you remove
your nger 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.
Cautions
• Format SD memory cards before rst 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 76.
• 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 turn the camera o 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 ax labels to memory cards. Peeling labels
can cause camera malfunction.
• Movie recording may be interrupted with some
types of SD memory card.

12
Inserting a 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 les. Always use the camera to delete
pictures from memory cards and internal memory;
before editing or renaming les, copy them to a
computer and edit or rename the copies, not the
originals.
