Power Sources: This video product
should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated on
the marking label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supply to your
home, consult your appliance dealer
or local power company. For video
products intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer
to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization: This video
product is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than
the other). This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should

Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding: If an
outside antenna or cable system 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 the mast 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.

Object and Liquid Entry: Never push
objects of any kind into this video
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 wall
outlet and disconnect the antenna
or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the video product due to
lightning and power-line surges.

If you are using a heating pad, take
care not to place the battery directly against the pad. The camera
may not operate if you use a depleted battery in cold conditions.
CAUTION
Do not use the Discharging rechargeable batteries function when
alkaline batteries being used.
To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the
quick battery charger (sold separately). Refer to the instructions
supplied with the charger to make
sure that the charger is used correctly.
Do not use the battery charger to
charge other batteries.
Note that the batteries feel warm
after being charged.
Due to the way the camera is constructed, a small amount of current
is used even when the camera is
turned off. Note in particular that
leaving Ni-MH batteries in the
camera for a long period will overdischarge the batteries and may
render them unusable even after
recharging.
Ni-MH batteries will self-discharge
even when not used, and the time
for which they can be used may be
shortened as a result.
Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate
rapidly if over-discharged (e.g.
by discharging the batteries in a
flashlight). Use the Discharging rechargeable batteries function provided in the camera to discharge
the batteries.

3 Cautions
Panoramas are created from multiple frames. The
camera may in some cases be unable to stitch the
frames together perfectly.
The desired results may not be achieved with moving subjects, subjects close to the camera, unvarying
subjects such as the sky or a field of grass, subjects
that are in constant motion, such as waves and waterfalls, or subjects that undergo marked changes in
brightness. Panoramas may be blurred if the subject
is poorly lit.

Condensation
Sudden increases in temperature, such as occur
when entering a heated building on a cold day,
can cause condensation inside the camera. If this
occurs, turn the camera off and wait an hour before turning it on again. If condensation forms on
the memory card, remove the card and wait for
the condensation to dissipate.
Cleaning
Use a blower to remove dust from the lens and
monitor, then gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
Any remaining stains can be removed by wiping
gently with a piece of FUJIFILM lens-cleaning paper to which a small amount of lens-cleaning fluid
has been applied. Care should be taken to avoid
scratching the lens or monitor. The camera body
can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use
alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Glossary

Digital zoom: Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of visible detail. Instead, details visible using optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly grainy image.
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format): A standard that allows pictures to be printed from print orders stored
in internal memory or on a memory card. The information in the order includes the pictures to be printed
and the number of copies of each picture.
EV (Exposure Value): The exposure value is determined by the sensitivity of the image sensor and the amount
of light that enters the camera while the image sensor is exposed. Each time the amount of light doubles, EV
increases by one; each time the amount of light is halved, EV decreases by one. The amount of light entering the
camera can be controlled by adjusting aperture and shutter speed.
Exif Print: A standard for storing information with pictures for optimal color reproduction during printing.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface): An interface standard for the transmission of images and sound that
adds audio input to the DVI interface used to connect computers to displays.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): A compressed file format for color images. The higher the compression
rate, the greater the loss of information and more noticeable drop in quality when the picture is displayed.
Motion JPEG: An AVI (Audio Video Interleave) format that stores sound and JPEG images in a single file. Motion JPEG
files can be played in Windows Media Player (requires DirectX 8.0 or later) or QuickTime 3.0 or later.
Smear: A phenomenon specific to CCDs which causes white streaks to appear when very bright light sources, such
as the sun or reflected sunlight, appear in the frame.
WAV (Waveform Audio Format): A standard Windows audio file format. WAV files have the extension *.WAV and
may be compressed or uncompressed. The camera uses uncompressed WAV. WAV files can be played using
Windows Media Player or QuickTime 3.0 or later.
White balance: The human brain automatically adapts to changes in the color of light, with the result that objects
that appear white under one light source still appear white when the color of the light source changes. Digital
cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This process
is known as white balance.

Notices
Specifications subject to change without notice. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting from
errors in this manual.
Although the monitor is manufactured using advanced high-precision technology, small bright points and
anomalous colors (particularly in the vicinity of text) may appear. This is normal for this type of monitor and
does 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.
