I uid romthe battery comes into contact withskin or clothing, ush the aectedarea with water. I uid enters your eyes,immediately ush the afected area with

water and seek medical attention. Do notrub your eyes. Failure to observe this pre-caution could result in loss o eyesight.

Fingerprints and other oreignmatter on the battery terminalscan reduce battery perormance. Thoroughly clean the terminalswith a sot, dry cloth beore insert-ing the batteries in the camera.

Ni-MH Batteries

The capacity o Ni-MH batteries maybe temporarily reduced when new,ater long periods o disuse, or i theyare repeatedly recharged beore be-ing ully discharged.

Capacity can be increased byrepeatedly discharging the batteriesusing thePDISCHARGE option inthe camera setup menu (pg. 100)and recharging them using a battery

charger (sold separately). Do not usethis option with alkaline batteries.

The camera draws a small amount ocurrent even when o. Ni-MH batter-ies that have been let in the cameraor an extended period may be drawndown to the point that they no longerhold a charge. Battery perormancemay also drop i the batteries are rundown in a device such as a ashlight.Use thePDISCHARGE option in thecamera setup menu to discharge Ni-MH batteries. Batteries that no lon-

ger hold a charge even ater repeat-edly being discharged and rechargedhave reached the end o their servicelie and must be replaced.

in the batteries leaking or

overheating. Never use manganese or Ni-Cd batteries.

The capacity o alkaline batteries varies with the

manuacturer and drops at temperatures below

10 C/32 F; Ni-MH batteries are recommended.

Fingerprints and other soil on the battery termi-

nals can shorten battery lie.

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,a appears in the monitor and internal memory is used or recording

and playback. Note that because camera malunction could cause internal memory to become cor-rupted, the pictures in internal memory should periodically be transerred 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 87). To prevent internal memory rom becoming ull,

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 or recording and playback.

Compatible Memory CardsCompatible Memory CardsSanDisk SD and SDHC memory cards have been approved or use in the camera. A complete list

o approved memory cards is available at http://www.ujiilm.com/products/digital_cameras/index.html.

Operation is not guaranteed with other cards. The camera can not be used withxD-Picture Cards or

MultiMediaCard (MMC) devices.

3 Caution

Memory cards can be locked, making it impossible to ormat the card or to record or deleteimages. Beore inserting a memory card, slide the write-protect switch to the unlocked posi-

tion.

3 Cautions

Do not turn the camera of or remove the memory card while the memory card is being ormatted or data are being recorded to or

deleted rom the card. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card.

Format memory cards beore frst use, and be sure to reormat all memory cards ater using them in a computer

or other device. For more inormation on ormatting memory cards, see page 98.

Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep out o reach o children. I a child swallows a memory card,

seek medical assistance immediately.

miniSD or microSD adapters that are larger or smaller than the standard dimensions o an SD card may not eject

normally; i the card does not eject, take the camera to an authorized service representative. Do not orcibly

remove the card.

Do not a x labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malunction.

Movie recording may be interrupted with some types o memory card. Use a card with a class 4 write speed(4 MB/s) or better when shooting HD movies.

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 older in which pictures are stored. Do

not rename or delete this older or use a computer or other device to edit, delete, or rename image fles. Always

use the camera to delete pictures rom memory cards and internal memory; beore editing or renaming fles,

copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.
