Precautions Regarding Memory Cards• This camera is compatible with micro SD cards and micro SDHC
cards. Using other types of memory cards may cause damage tothe camera.
• Memory cards are small and may be accidentally swallowed byinfants. Keep them out of the reach of infants. In the unlikely

• Do not turn off the camera or remove the memory cardduring formatting or while recording/deleting data. The
memory card may be damaged.
• Do not use or store memory cards in an environment that isprone to strong static electricity or electrical noise.
• Inserting a memory card charged with static electricity into thecamera may cause the camera to malfunction. If this happens,turn the camera off and then on again.
• Do not carry a memory card in the pocket of your pants. A
strong force may be applied when you sit down, which may
cause the memory card to break.
• The memory card may become hot to the touch after prolonged
use, but this is not a fault.
• Do not put any labels on memory cards. If the label comes off, it
may cause the camera to malfunction.
Precautions Regarding Using a Memory Card on a PC
• Always format an unused memory card or a memory card thathas been used on a PC or other device before using it in thecamera.
• When a memory card is formatted in the camera and used forshooting and recording, folders are automatically created. Do
not use your PC to rename or delete folders or files on thememory card. Doing so may make the memory card in thecamera unusable.
• Do not use your PC to delete images on the memory card.
Always use the camera.
• If you want to edit an image file, copy or move the image file toa hard disk or similar device, and then edit the copied or moved
image file.

1 Open the card slot cover.

2 Insert the memory card all the way in the correctorientation as shown until you hear a “click”.

3 Close the card slot cover.

• To remove the memory card, push the card in with your finger

■■ Caution: Handling the Battery
The battery and camera body may become warm to the touch
after extended use. This is normal.
■■ Certification marks are located inside the film chamber.
■■ Cautions During Printing

Simple Camera Care■■ Handling the Camera and Battery• CAUTION - Do not expose to excessive heat such as sunshine,
fire or the like, that can result in an explosion or the leakage offlammable liquid or gas during use, storage or transportation or
disposal.
• CAUTION - Do not dispose of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or
mechanically crush or cut the battery, as this may result in an
explosion.
• CAUTION - Do not subject to extremely low air pressure at highaltitude that may result in an explosion or the leakage offlammable liquid or gas.
■■ Camera Care
1. Do not open the film door until all film exposures have been
used, doing so will prematurely expose the remaining film
and render it unusable.
2. Your camera is a fragile object. Do not expose it to water, sandor gritty materials.
3. Do not use a strap made for cellular phones or other similarelectronic products. These straps are usually too weak to holdyour camera securely. For safety, only use straps designed foryour camera, and use only as specifically intended andinstructed.
4. Do not use solvent such as thinner or alcohol to remove dirt.
5. Do not leave your camera in direct sunlight or hot places suchas the inside of a car. Do not leave the camera in damp places
for prolonged periods.
6. Moth repellent gas such as naphthalene may affect yourcamera and prints. Take care to keep your camera and prints ina safe, dry place.
7. Note that the temperature range within which your camera
can be used is +5°C to +40°C.
8. Take great care to ensure that printed materials do not violate
copyright, image rights, privacy or other personal rights anddo not offend public decency. Actions that violate the rights ofothers, are contrary to public decency or constitute a nuisancemay be punishable by law or otherwise legally actionable.
■■ Handling the LCD Screen
As the LCD Screen can be easily scratched or damaged by sharpor solid objects, we recommend you attach a protective sheet(commercially available) onto the LCD Screen.
■■ Charging the Battery
The battery has not been charged during manufacture. Pleasecharge the battery fully before first use.
Charge the battery using the supplied dedicated charging cable.
Charging times will increase at ambient temperatures below+10°C or above +35°C. Do not attempt to charge the battery attemperatures above +40°C or at temperatures below +5°C as
the battery will not charge.
■■ Battery Life
At normal temperatures, the battery can be recharged about
300 times. A noticeable decrease in the length of time the■■ “instax mini” Film and Print Care
See FUJIFILM Instant Film “instax mini” packaging for film use
instructions. Follow all instructions for safe and proper use.
1. Keep the film in a cool place. Do not leave the film in a place
where the temperature is extremely high (e.g., in a closed car)for many hours.
2. Do not puncture, tear, or cut the film. If film becomesdamaged, do not use.
3. When you load a film pack, use the film as soon as possible.
4. If the film has been kept in a place where the temperature is
extremely high or low, bring it to room temperature before
starting to print pictures.
5. Be sure to use the film before the expiration or “Use Before”
date.
6. Avoid airport checked luggage scanning and other strong
X-ray exposure. The effect of fogging, etc. may appear onunused film. We recommend that you carry the camera and/or
the film onto the aircraft as carry-on luggage. (Check with each
airport for more information.)
7. Avoid strong light, and keep the developed prints in a cool anddry place.
8. Do not puncture or cut the film as it contains a small amount ofcaustic paste (high alkaline). Never let children or animals put
the film into their mouth. Also ensure that the paste does notcome into contact with skin or clothes.
9. Should the paste inside the film comes into contact with skinor clothes, immediately wash off with plenty of water. If thepaste comes into contact with the eyes or mouth, immediately
