!

Do not apply excessive force to the battery cover.

●

!

Always switch the camera off when replacing the

batteries. If the camera is left switched on, the

camera settings may revert to the factory default

settings.

●

!

If the AC power adapter has been connected or the

batteries have been installed for about half a day or

longer, the camera settings will be retained for about

half a day after the AC power adapter has been

disconnected and the batteries have been removed.

Check the date setting after you replace the batteries.

Plug the charger into a power outlet to begin charging.

Battery charging will be completed in about 13 hours,

but the power lamp remains lit. Unplug the battery

charger from the power outlet when it is not in use.

Slide the battery cover out to open it.

SELECTING THE POWER SUPPLY

Load the rechargeable batteries into the battery

charger as indicated on the label.

●

!

Ni-MH batteries are not fully charged at shipment

and must be charged before being used. Newly

purchased batteries or batteries that have been left

unused for an extended period may not be fully

charged. (This is indicated by the immediate display

of the battery low warning or a low number of

available shots.) This is a normal characteristic of the

batteries and does not indicate a fault. Repeatedly

charging and using the batteries 3 or 4 times will

restore them to a normal condition.

●

!

If the terminals of nickel-metal hydride batteries are

soiled, it may not be possible to charge them. To

avoid possible problems, clean the battery terminals

and charger terminals with a clean, dry cloth.

(Especially the first time you charge the batteries,

you should clean the battery terminals and charger

terminals and then insert the batteries into the

charger and remove them several times before you

start charging.)

●

!

Fully discharged Ni-MH batteries take approximately

13 hours (1,600 mAh) to recharge. KR-3UF Ni-Cd

batteries take approximately 8 hours to recharge.

Shorter charging times can be achieved using the

Ni-MH/Battery Charger BCH-NH (➡P.93).

●

!

If you recharge Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries before they

are fully depleted, this results in the “memory effect”

✽

,

which causes the battery low warning to appear sooner.

To restore the batteries to their normal condition, use up

all the charge in the batteries before recharging them.

✽ Memory effect: A phenomenon whereby the battery properties

are such that its capacity is lower than the

nominal amount.

●

!

Do not use old and new batteries together.

✽ The Shapes of the Battry charger, the plug and socket outlet

depend on the country.

■ Using Batteries

The FinePix40i takes 2 nickel-metal hydride

(Ni-MH) or Ni-Cd batteries. The two batteries

used should both be of the same type.

Lithium or manganese batteries should not be used at all as

they emit heat and can damage the camera.

●

AA-size Ni-MH batteries

Fujifilm HR-3UF: 2 (supplied with the camera or sold separately)

●

AA-size Ni-Cd batteries

Fujifilm KR-3UF: 4 (sold separately)

Attempting to charge batteries other than those specified

for use with the charger (such as manganese, alkaline or

lithium batteries) can cause the batteries to burst or leak.

This could result in a fire or injury and consequent

damage to the surroundings.

✽See P.108 for information on the number of shots that can

be taken using batteries.

◆Batteries that Can Be Charged◆

●

!

Alkaline batteries should only be used in an emergency. Note

the following when using alkaline batteries:

•

The battery terminals should be wiped clean with a clean, dry cloth.

•

The number of available shots and the audio playback times are

limited. The number of available shots and the audio playback

times vary depending on the battery brand and the ambient

temperature. At temperatures of +5°C (+40°F) and below, it may

not be possible to take pictures or play back music. The lens

cover may also fail to open or close fully.

•

Because you are using the FinePix40i with the LCD monitor

switched off, the power cuts out without a remaining battery low

warning being displayed (if the FinePix40i is used with the LCD

monitor switched off at temperatures of +20°C (+68°F) and above).

Number of available shots: About 30

Available audio playback time: About 100 minutes

shown.

➁

Close the battery cover.

SELECTING THE POWER SUPPLY

The special AC Power Adapter AC-3V can be

used to avoid power loss during photography,

playback or image downloading (using the USB

connection) due to depleted batteries.

Check that the camera is switched off and then

plug the AC power adapter connector into the

“DC IN 3V socket” on the camera. Then plug the

AC power adapter into the power outlet.

●

!

You cannot charge the batteries by connecting the

AC power adapter.

●

!

The socket-outlet shall installed near the equipment

and shall be easily accessible.

●

!

The shapes of the plug and socket-outlet depends

on the country of use.

●

!

Using AC power adapters other than the AC-3V

could damage the camera.

focusing or not be able to focus at all for the

types of subject and situation listed below. In

such cases, the image may be out of focus.

●

Very shiny subjects such as a mirror or car

body.

●

Subjects photographed through glass.

●

Subjects that do not reflect well, such as

hair or fur.

●

Subjects with no substance, such as

smoke or flames.

●

When the subject is distant and dark.

●

When there is very little contrast between

the subject and the background (such as

white walls or subjects dressed in the

same color as the background).

●

When there are objects in front of or

behind the subject (such as an animal in a

cage or a person in front of a tree).

●

Subjects moving at high speed.

◆

Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus

◆

TAKING PICTURES (AUTO MODE)

Press the shutter button down half way. The

image is focused when the AF frame on the LCD

monitor becomes smaller and the shutter speed

and aperture setting appear (and the green

viewfinder lamp stops blinking and remains lit).

●

!

When you press the shutter button down halfway,

the video image on the LCD monitor freezes briefly.

However, this is not the image that is recorded.

●

!

If it is too dark for the camera to focus, move at least

1.5 m (4.8 ft.) away from your subject before taking

the picture.

7

To take the picture, press the shutter button

down fully without lifting your finger off it. The

camera beeps and takes the picture, and the

data is then recorded.

●

!

If you press the shutter button down fully in one motion,

the shot is taken without the AF frame changing.

●

!

When you take a picture, the viewfinder lamp lights

orange (camera not ready) before switching back to green

to indicate that the camera is again ready for shooting.

●

!

The LCD monitor may go dark briefly. This is normal

and does not indicate a fault.

●

!

The viewfinder lamp flashes orange while the flash is

charging.

●

!

Since the amount of image data recorded is not fixed

and varies depending on the subject (level of image

detail, etc.), the number of available shots may not

decrease after the image is recorded, or may

decrease by 2.

●

change the picture composition after the exposure is set, you can obtain good results by changing

the composition after the AF and AE settings are locked.

Important

◆

Use this frame when you want

to position your main subject in

center of the frame or when you

want to align your shot with the

horizon.

This is the most effective frame

for monitoring the size and

balance of your subject when

the shot involves motion.

Use this frame when you are

shooting groups of 2 or more

people.

By composing the shot so that

your subjects are as large as

possible within the frame, the

photograph will clearly show

their facial expressions.

Use this frame for portrait

photography. Fit the subject's face

into one of the 3 frames to shoot a

close-up portrait (large frame), a

head and shoulders shot (middle

frame), or a half-body shot (small

frame). When the distance to the

subject is 50 cm (1.6 ft.) or less,

use Macro mode.

●

!

The lines in the scene frame roughly

divide the recorded pixels into three equal

parts horizontally and vertically. When the

image is printed, the resulting print may be

shifted slightly from the scene frame.
