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.
C 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.
C Cautions: Using the Battery Charger
Unplug the charger when it is not in use.
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, d appears 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.
C Caution
Memory cards can be locked, making it impossible to format the card or to record
or delete images. Before inserting a memory card, slide the write-protect switch to
the unlocked position.

C Cautions

and does not indicate a malfunction.
10
Inserting a Memory Card
C Cautions
Format 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 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.
