Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding: If an outside antenna or cablesystem is connected to the video product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70,
provides information with respect to proper grounding of themast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Power Lines: An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such powerlines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
Use
Cleaning: Unplug this video product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Object and Liquid Entry: Never push objects of any kind into thisvideo product through openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result in a ﬁre or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the video product.
Lightning: For added protection for this video product receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the walloutlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the video product due to lightning andpower-line surges.

WARNINGWARNINGCAUTION

Do not touch any metal parts of the camera during
a thunderstorm. This can cause an electric shock
due to induced current from the lightning discharge.
Do not use the battery except as specified. Load thebattery as shown by the indicator.
Do not heat, change or take apart the battery. Do notdrop or subject the battery to impacts. Do not store
the battery with metallic products. Any of these actions can cause the battery to burst or leak andcause ﬁre or injury as a result.
Use only batteries or AC power adapters specified foruse with this camera. Do not use voltages other thanthe power supply voltage shown. The use of otherpower sources can cause a ﬁre.
If the battery leaks and fluid gets in contact with youreyes, skin or clothing, flush the affected area withclean water and seek medical attention or call an
emergency number right away.
Do not use the charger to charge batteries other thanthose specified here. The supplied charger is foruse only with batteries of the type supplied withthe camera. Using the charger to charge conventional batteries or other types of rechargeable
batteries can cause the battery to leak, overheator burst.
Using a flash too close to a person’s eyes may cause
visual impairment. Take particular care when photographing infants and young children.
Do not remain in prolonged contact with hot surfaces.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in
low-temperature burns, particularly at high ambient temperatures or with users who suﬀer frompoor circulation or reduced sensation, in whichcase use of a tripod or similar precautions arerecommended.

Do not leave one part of the body in contact with the
product for prolonged periods while the product ison. Failure to observe this precaution could resultin low-temperature burns, particularly during
prolonged use, at high ambient temperatures,or with users who suﬀer from poor circulation or
reduced sensation, in which case use of a tripod
or similar precautions are recommended.
Do not use in the presence of flammable objects, explosive gases, or dust.
When carrying the battery, install it in a digital camera or keep it in the hard case. When storing the battery, keep it in the hard case. When discarding, cover
the battery terminals with insulation tape. Contact
with other metallic objects or batteries could
cause the battery to ignite or burst.
Keep memory cards, hot shoes, and other small partsout of the reach of small children. Children may
swallow small parts; keep out of reach of children.
Should a child swallow a small part, seek medical
attention or call emergency.
Keep out of the reach of small children. Among theelements that could cause injury are the strap,
which could become entangled about a child’sneck, causing strangulation, and the ﬂash, which
could cause visual impairment.
Follow the directions of airline and hospital personnel. This product generates radio-frequency
emissions that could interfere with navigationalor medical equipment.

Do not use this camera in locations affected by oil
fumes, steam, humidity or dust. This can cause aﬁre or electric shock.
Do not leave this camera in places subject to extremely
high temperatures. Do not leave the camera inlocations such as a sealed vehicle or in direct sunlight. This can cause a ﬁre.
Do not place heavy objects on the camera. This cancause the heavy object to tip over or fall andcause injury.
Do not move the camera while the AC power adapter
is still connected. Do not pull on the connection
cord to disconnect the AC power adapter. Thiscan damage the power cord or cables and cause
a ﬁre or electric shock.
Do not cover or wrap the camera or the AC power
adapter in a cloth or blanket. This can cause heatto build up and distort the casing or cause a ﬁre.
When you are cleaning the camera or you do not plan
to use the camera for an extended period, remove
the battery and disconnect and unplug the AC power
adapter. Failure to do so can cause a ﬁre or electric shock.
When charging ends, unplug the charger from thepower socket. Leaving the charger plugged into
the power socket can cause a ﬁre.
When a memory card is removed, the card could comeout of the slot too quickly. Use your finger to hold it
and gently release the card. Injury could result tothose struck by the ejected card.
Request regular internal testing and cleaning foryour camera. Build-up of dust in your camera
can cause a ﬁre or electric shock. Contact your
FUJIFILM dealer to request internal cleaning every
two years. Please note that this service is not freeof charge.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

blur when lighting is poor, while lower values allow slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright
light; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities, particularly at
H (25600), while choosing L (100) reduces dynamic range. Values of from ISO 200 to ISO 6400 arerecommended in most situations. If AUTO1, AUTO2, or AUTO3 is selected, the camera will adjust
sensitivity automatically in response to shooting conditions.

The flash does not fire even when the subject is poorly lit. A tripod is recommended.

* Red-eye removal is available in these modes when Intelligent Face Detection is active(P 86) and red-eye removal is on (P 90). Red-eye removal minimizes “red-eye” caused

Using the FlashQ Depending on the distance to the subject, some lenses may cast shadows in photos taken with the flash.
R Lowering the flash turns the flash off (P) and prevents it firing even when the subject is poorly lit; use of a

under dim light. We also recommend that you lower the flash when the camera is off.
R If p is displayed when the shutter button is pressed halfway, the flash will fire when the photo is taken.

digital_cameras/index.html. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting from errors in this manual.
• Although the LCD monitor is manufactured using advanced high-precision technology, small bright points andanomalous colors may appear, particularly in the vicinity of text. This is normal for this type of LCD display anddoes not indicate a malfunction; images recorded with the camera are unaffected.
• Digital cameras may malfunction when exposed to strong radio interference (e.g., electric fields, static electricity,or line noise).
• Due to the type of lens used, some distortion may occur at the periphery of images. This is normal.
