ATTACHING THE STRAP

Getting

Ready

The above screen shows the NTSC model. The date order differs in the PAL model (day. month. year).

Some items are displayed depending on the camera mode and photography conditions.

●

Ni-MH batteries are not fully charged at shipment and

must be charged before being used.

●

Fully discharged Ni-MH batteries take approximately 12

hours (1450 mAh) or 13 hours (1600 mAh) to recharge.

KR-3UF Ni-Cd batteries take approximately 8 hours to

recharge.

●

The power lamp remains lit even after charging is

completed.

●

Shorter charging times can be achieved using the Ni-

MH/Battery Charger BCH-NH (➡P.103).

●

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” in the direction of the

arrow and open the cover.

The FinePix4700 ZOOM takes 2 nickel-metal

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

batteries used should both be of the same type.

◆Number of available shots (with fully charged batteries)

The table below provides a guide to the number of shots

that can be taken at normal temperature with 50% flash

use. Note that these figures may vary depending on the

camera’s ambient temperature and the level of battery

charge.

SELECTING THE POWER SUPPLY

●

Use only the designated batteries. Batteries other than

AA-size Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries cannot be recharged

in the BC-NH.

●

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.

Load the rechargeable batteries into the battery

charger as indicated on the label.

● 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)

◆Batteries that Can Be Charged◆

Using Batteries

● It is also possible to take some shots using

alkaline batteries if you use the viewfinder

(➡P.24). However, due to the nature of

alkaline batteries, they can only be used for

extremely short periods and they may not

work at all in cold conditions.

● Lithium or manganese batteries should not be

used at all as they emit heat and can damage

the camera.

● Do not use old and new batteries together.

1918

●

Take care not to drop the batteries when opening

and closing the battery cover.

●

See P.107 for notes on using other power supplies.

➀

arrow.

SELECTING THE POWER SUPPLY

Using the AC Power Adapter

To shoot or play back images without depleting

the battery charge, use the special AC Power

Adapter AC-3V(sold separately).

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.

●

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.

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 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.

AF (AUTOFOCUS) /AE (AUTOEXPOSURE) LOCK

◆

On the FinePix4700 ZOOM, pressing the shutter button down half way locks the focus and

exposure settings (AF and AE lock). If you want to focus on a subject that is not centered in the

frame or 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.

Keep the shutter button held down half way (AF

and AE locked) and check that the AF frame is

smaller and that the shutter speed and aperture

settings are displayed (and that the green

viewfinder lamp has stopped blinking and

remains lit).

●

You can reapply the AF/AE lock as many times as

you like before releasing the shutter.

●

The AF/AE lock operates in all photography modes

and can be used to ensure excellent results.

With the shutter button still held down halfway

(AF lock), move the camera back to the original

image and press the shutter button down fully.

●

The displayed screens are those shown on the LCD

monitor.

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).

●

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.
