halfway, the camera automatically focuses on the subject and the focus
indicator “●” appears in the viewfinder display to notify you that the camera
has focused on the subject.
Auto AF servo (AF-A):
In this mode, the camera automatically determines whether the subject is
moving and, if so, in which direction the subject is moving, and then selects
either single AF servo (AF-S) or continuous AF servo (AF-C) accordingly.
• Single AF Servo (AF-S):
The camera focuses on the subject and then fixes the focus (focus lock).
• Continuous AF Servo (AF-C):
Focusing tracks the movements of the subject.
• In either mode, the shutter does not release unless the focus indicator
appears.
• When you select Sport mode (5-vari program) as the exposure mode,
focusing is set to continuous AF servo from the outset and focusing tracks
the movements of the subject.
Auxiliary AF Light
0.5 - 3 m
(1.6 - 9.8 ft.)
When these conditions are met, the auxiliary AF light operates automatically.
This function cannot be cancelled. The auxiliary AF light can be used with AF
Nikkor lenses that have focal lengths between 24 and 200 mm. In general, the
effective range of the auxiliary AF light is 0.5 to 3 m (1.6 to 9.8 ft.).
☞ Note
Continuous use of the auxiliary AF light
If you use the auxiliary AF light continuously, the illuminating lamp temporarily
switches off to protect the lamp. You can continue using the lamp after a slight
delay.
✎ Important
Nikon flash units and active auxiliary flash
If you use a Nikon flash equipped with active auxiliary flash and take pictures
using TTL mode, the active auxiliary flash on the Nikon flash is automatically
used. See P.78 for information on the Nikon flash models that can be used.
• Set the focus mode selector switch to M and focus the camera by turning the
focusing ring on the lens until the image can be seen clearly in the matt
surface of the viewfinder screen. The shutter can be released regardless of
whether the focus indicator “●” lights. Use manual focus for subjects that are
not suitable for auto focusing or when a lens other than an AF Nikkor lens is
mounted on the camera (☞ P.107).
✎ Important
Focus Aid
If the lens mounted has an f-step setting brighter than f/5.6 when the focusing
mode is set to M (manual focus), the “focus aid focusing” feature allows the
focus to be checked using the focus display in the viewfinder. Turn the
focusing ring on the lens so that the focus indicator “●” lights. The shutter
button can be released at any point.
■ If you are using AF (auto focus) to focus the camera, use the focus
lock feature when you are composing a picture in which your main
subject (the object or person you are focusing on) is not inside the
focusing frame. This technique can also be used to focus on subjects
that are not suitable for auto focusing.
• When the camera is focused, the focus indicator “●” lights and the focus
stays locked as long as the shutter button is held halfway.
• If the selected exposure mode is Sport mode (5-vari program), focus lock
photography cannot be used.
• If you want to use focus lock when a moving subject stops moving (when
the focusing mode changes from continuous AF to single AF servo),
release the shutter button and then press the shutter button halfway
again.
3
• Once the focus indicator “●” lights, do not change the distance between
the camera and the main subject. If you keep your finger on the shutter
button and keep the button held down after the shutter has released, you
can take any number of shots with the focus fixed at the same setting.

Shooting Using Exposure Modes
z: AUTO
This exposure mode is the easiest to use for
taking pictures since the photographer can
leave the exposure settings to the camera.
This exposure mode is recommended for
people using an SLR camera for the first
time.
See P.80 for information on using this mode
with other functions.
• When you select z (AUTO mode), the following function statuses apply:
Metering mode : Multi-pattern metering (☞ P.69)
Flash : j Normal synchro mode (☞ P.74)
• The program shift, exposure compensation and slow synchro functions
cannot be selected.
2 Check that the focus indicator “●” is lit and take the
picture.
• If one of the following warnings appears on the top display panel or
viewfinder display, the subject is too bright or too dark and is beyond the
camera control range.
• ⁄ : Use an ND (light volume adjustment) filter.
• ¤ : Use the flash.
✎ Important
Differences between AUTO and Programmed auto
Both modes use the same exposure control method, but the programmed auto
mode allows greater flexibility in the photography settings since program shift
(☞ P.61), exposure compensation (☞ P.71) and slow synchro (☞ P.75) can
also be set.
2 Check that the focus indicator “●” is lit and take the
picture.
• If one of the following warnings appears on the top display panel or
viewfinder display, the subject is too bright or too dark and is beyond the
camera control range.
• ⁄ : Use an ND (light volume adjustment) filter.
• ¤ : Use the flash.
✎ Important
Program Shift
By turning the command dial
during programmed auto mode
photography, you can change the
combination of shutter speed and
aperture while maintaining the
same exposure, providing
operation that is equivalent to the
shutter-priority auto and aperture-
priority auto modes. During program shift, “f” is displayed on the top display
panel. To cancel program shift, reset shutter speed and aperture settings to
3
their original values, select another exposure mode, switch the camera off,
use the built-in flash (☞ P.74) or perform a camera reset (☞ P.56).
S: Shutter-priority Auto
In this mode, the photographer sets the
shutter speed (1/2000 to 30 sec.) and the
camera automatically controls the aperture
setting. This mode is best for photographs
where the shutter speed is the main priority,
such as subjects in sports scenes where
you want a fast shutter speed to freeze one
moment of the action, or where you want a
slow shutter speed to emphasize the sense
of movement.
See P.80 for information on using this mode
with other functions.
1 Set the exposure mode dial to “S” and set the shutter
speed on the command dial (1/2000 to 30 sec.).
2 Check that the focus indicator “●” is lit and take the
picture.
• If one of the following warnings appears on the top display panel or
viewfinder display, the subject is too bright or too dark and is beyond the
camera control range.
• ⁄ : Set a faster shutter speed. If the warning still appears with the
faster shutter speed, use an ND (light volume adjustment) filter.
• ¤ : Set a slower shutter speed. If the warning still appears with the
slower shutter speed, use the flash.
• Pressing the “CANCEL” button during a long-exposure shot does not
interrupt the shot.
1 Set the exposure mode dial to “A” and set the aperture
setting (narrowest aperture to widest aperture) on the
command dial.
2 Check that the focus indicator “●” is lit and take the
picture.
• If one of the following warnings appears on the top display panel or
viewfinder display, the subject is too bright or too dark and is beyond the
camera control range.
• ⁄ : Set a higher aperture setting. If the warning still appears with the
higher aperture setting, use an ND (light volume adjustment) filter.
• ¤ : Set a lower aperture setting. If the warning still appears with the
lower aperture setting, use the flash.
M: Manual
In this mode, the photographer can set any
shutter speed (1/2000 to 30 sec.) and any
aperture setting (narrowest aperture to
widest aperture). This allows the
photographer to determine the exposure to
suit the conditions and the desired goals
while watching the exposure indicator in the
viewfinder.
See P.80 for information on using this mode
with other functions.
3 Check that the focus indicator “●” is lit and take the
picture.
• Lenses other than a Nikkor lens with a built-in CPU can only be used in
this mode. However, the camera’s exposure meter cannot be used and
the aperture cannot be set using the aperture button and command dial.
See “Lenses that Can Be Used with this Camera” on P.106 for details.
5-Vari Programs
The 5-vari programs provide programs for each mode that make it easy for
you to take pictures that capture your desired image. The programs tailor the
camera settings to particular scenes or subjects by selecting shutter speeds
matched to the subject’s movement and aperture settings that allow for the
depth of field (focusing depth) and even the focusing characteristics of the
lens.
See P.80 for information on using 5-vari programs with other functions.
☞ Note
Points to note when using 5-vari programs
Program shift (☞ P.61) and exposure compensation (☞ P.71) are both
cancelled in the 5-vari program modes. If you use the flash, the synchro mode
is automatically switched according to the mode (☞ P.76).
x: Portrait mode
By using exposure control with a wide
aperture (a low aperture number), this mode
keeps a shallow depth of field (restricting the
range of focus in front of and behind the
subject). This allows you to take pictures in
which your subject stands out clearly against
a softly blurred background, giving a feeling
of depth in the shot.
Recommended lens: The most effective
lenses for this mode are bright telephoto lenses in the 50 to 135 mm range.
c: Landscape mode
By using exposure control with a narrow
aperture (a high aperture number), this mode
give a large depth of field (extending the
range of focus in front of and behind the
subject) to allow you to take pictures of
scenery in which the both near and distant
objects are in sharp focus.
Lenses from wide-angle through to telephoto
can be used in this mode.
• In some photography conditions care is needed to avoid camera shake since
a slow shutter speed may be used. (A tripod should be used in such
situations.)
v: Close-up mode
This mode uses exposure control with a wide
aperture to give a relatively shallow depth of
field so that you can take close-up shots in
which your subject stands out clearly against
a softly blurred background.
Recommended lens: The most effective
lenses for this mode are the Micro Nikkor
lenses.
• In some photography conditions care is
needed to avoid camera shake since a slow shutter speed may be used.
3
(A tripod should be used in such situations.)
☞ Note
Using continuous shooting when the number of remaining frames
displayed is small
If you use continuous shooting when the number of remaining frames displayed
is small, a warning beep may sound and the number of remaining frames
displayed may show 0 even when the number of shots taken is fewer than the
number of shots displayed when continuous shooting began.
Center-weighted Metering
Compensation of –0.3 EV
Compensation of +2 EV
• When you set the amount of compensation, the exposure compensation icon
“h ” appears on the top display panel and in the viewfinder display. Simply
press the exposure compensation button to confirm the compensation
amount. (The exposure indicator is also displayed.)
• When the built-in flash or an external Nikon flash is used, the amount of light
emitted by the flash is also adjusted by the same amount. However, the
restrictions described below apply.
■ Maximum flash compensation ISO 320 400
values for flash units used + compensation 3 EV 3 EV
with exposure compensation – compensation approx. 1.5 EV approx. 1 EV
• As a general guide, when the subject (eg. a person) is set against a bright
background, positive exposure compensation should be used. Against a dark
background, negative exposure compensation should be used.
3
• To cancel exposure compensation, hold down the exposure compensation
button and use the command dial to set the compensation amount to 0, or
reset the camera (☞ P.56). (Switching the camera off does not cancel
exposure compensation.)

Self-timer Photography
■ This mode is useful for shots such as commemorative pictures where
the photographer also wants to be in the shot. Use a tripod or
otherwise ensure that the camera is stable before using the self-timer.
• The self-timer will not operate if the camera shutter cannot release, such
as when the camera cannot focus using AF (auto focus).
• If you are not using the M (manual) exposure mode to take the shot,
cover the eyepiece with your hand or with the eyepiece cap provided
(☞ P.73) before you press the shutter button to prevent interference to
achieve correct exposure from strey light.
• If you are using AF (auto focus) to focus the camera, take care not to
stand in front of the lens when you operate the self-timer.
• When the self-timer setting is “10 sec.”, the “!” icon flashes for 10
seconds on the top display panel when the self-timer starts running. The
self-timer lamp flashes for 8 seconds and then remains lit for the last 2
seconds before the shutter releases. If you have selected red-eye
reduction mode (☞ P.75), the self-timer lamp lights for the last 2 seconds
at the brightness used for red-eye reduction mode shooting.
• To cancel self-timer mode, press the self-timer button “!” again either
before or during self-timer operation, or switch the camera off. You can
also cancel self-timer mode by performing a camera reset (☞ P.56).
■ The diopter adjustment function makes it easier for you to check your
shots by looking at the image through the viewfinder.
• While you are looking through the viewfinder, slide the diopter
adjustment knob to the position in which you see the focusing frame in
the viewfinder most clearly. The setting can be adjusted between -1.5
and 1.0 dpt (near-sighted to far-sighted). Also, 9 types of Nikon diopter
adjustment lens are also available ranging from -5.0 to +3.0 dpt.
☞ Note
Points to watch when sliding the diopter adjustment knob
When you are sliding the diopter adjustment knob as you look through the
viewfinder, because your fingers are very close to your eye, take care not to
injure your eye with your fingertip or fingernail.
• You can set red-eye reduction mode and slow synchro mode concurrently by
selecting the modes so that red-eye reduction slow synchro mode icon “:”
appears in the top display panel.
• The synchro modes that can be set may vary depending on the exposure
mode. See “Combining Modes” on P.80 for information on the possible
combinations of synchro modes and exposure modes.
☞ Note
Notes on the Synchro Modes
• In red-eye reduction mode and slow synchro red-eye reduction mode,
because there is a 1 second delay for the red-eye reduction lamp to operate
before the flash fires, care must be taken that the subject does not move until
the shutter actually releases. (These modes should not be used in situations
such as snapshots where you need the camera to respond immediately.)
• Depending on which lens is mounted on the camera, the light from the red-
eye reduction lamp may be obstructed by the lens so that the effect of red-eye
reduction is lost for people in some positions in the shot.
• In slow synchro mode and slow synchro red-eye reduction mode, take care to
3
avoid camera shake since a slower than usual shutter speed is used. (A
tripod should be used.)
• When the flash pops up, it starts charging. When charging is complete,
the Ready icon “j ” appears in the viewfinder display.
• When normal synchro mode “j ” is selected, the “j ” on the top display
panel disappears when you take your finger off the synchro mode button
“j ”.
• To stow the flash, push it down gently by hand.
• The built-in flash cannot be used when the battery adapter is used.
*1: If a shutter speed faster than 1/125 sec. is selected, the shutter speed is
automatically reset to 1/125 sec. when the flash unit pops up. (When a Nikon
flash unit is used, the shutter speed is reset when you switch the flash unit on.)
*2: The flash control range is determined by the ISO sensitivity and aperture settings.
When you set the aperture in aperture-priority auto or manual mode, allow of the
flash control range shown on P.74.
Flash Intensity
The intensity of the flash varies depending on the composition of the shot and
can detract from the intended exposure for the main subject. If this occurs,
take the shot using exposure compensation (☞ P.71).
A: Usable
—: Not usable
*1: If the exposure mode is set to Manual, simple TTL-BL flash control (☞ P.74) is
used.
*2: When the SB-21B is used, auto focus can only be used to take pictures when
the AF micro lens (60, 105, 200 or 70-180 mm) is mounted on the camera.
*3: If TTL mode is used with the SB-11, SB-14 or SB-140, the flash unit must be
connected using the Nikon SC-23 TTL flash control cord.
If these flash units are used in A mode or M mode, the Nikon Sensor Unit SU-2
is used with the SC-13 for the SB-11 and SB-14, and the Nikon Sensor Unit
SU-3 is used with the SC-13 for the SB-140. Alternatively, the SC-11 or SC-15
can be connected with the Nikon Sync Terminal Adapter AS-15.
● For details, refer to the instructions provided with your flash unit.
If your Nikon flash unit has instructions which include a table of camera types
and it is capable of TTL mode, refer to the section for D group cameras.

Notes on Using Nikon Flash Units
● The synchronized shutter speeds when using the flash are 1/125 sec. and
slower.
In TTL mode, the ISO sensitivity linked settings are ISO 320 or ISO 400.
* When the sensitivity is set to ISO 800 or ISO 1600, the TTL flash control may not be
performed correctly.
* If the widest aperture is darker than the aperture setting permitted by the sensitivity, the
aperture is determined by the widest f-stop setting for the lens mounted on the camera.

Explanation of Terms
AF/AE Lock: On the FinePix S1 Pro, pressing the shutter button halfway locks the
focus and exposure settings (AF/AE lock). If you want to focus on a
subject that is not centered in the frame or change the picture
composition after the exposure is set, you can obtain good results by
changing the composition after the AF and AE settings are locked.
Auto Power Off Function: If the camera is not used in any way for a set period, the Auto Power
Off function switches the camera off to prevent battery depletion and
to avoid wasting power when the camera is connected to the AC
power adapter. On this camera, the period can be set to either 2
minutes or 5 minutes.
• The Auto Power Off function does not operate during automatic
playback, when a USB connection is being used, or when the Auto
Power Off function is switched off during setup.
TIFF-RGB: A format for saving image data in which a tag indicating the file
format is attached to each item of data. Files stored in this format can
be opened on a personal computer.
TIFF-YC: A storage format for image data. To open an image stored in this
format, an application that supports the TIFF-YC format is required.
We recommend the FUJIFILM USB Interface Set IF-UB/S1. The size
of TIFF-YC data is 2/3 that of TIFF-RGB data.
White Balance: Regardless of the type of lighting, the human eye adapts so that a
white object still looks white. On the other hand, devices such as
digital still cameras register a white subject as white by first adjusting
their internal color balance to match the color of the ambient light
around the subject. This adjustment process is referred to as
matching the white balance. A function that automatically matches
the white balance is called an automatic white balance function.

Cleaning the CCD
■ This camera is equipped with a CCD photosensitive element. This CCD
is located behind the shutter screen.
If dust or other soiling attaches to the surface of the CCD and pictures
are then taken, this soiling may appear as spots in the image,
depending on the camera settings and the type of subject. If this
occurs, the CCD must be cleaned. Because the surface of the CCD is
extremely fragile, wherever possible the camera should be returned to
an authorized FUJIFILM dealer for cleaning (for a charge).
Any repairs carried out by an authorized FUJIFILM service facility to
CCDs that were scratched or damaged during cleaning by the customer
will be charged to the customer. Note that such repairs will probably
involve replacing the CCD and will be expensive.
☞ Note
Dust inside the camera and on the surface of the CCD
• Before a FUJIFILM digital camera is shipped from the factory, it is carefully
checked for dust inside the camera and on the surface of the CCD to ensure
that it conforms to FUJIFILM standards.
• Bear in mind also that some types of soiling on the CCD surface cannot be
removed even by an authorized FUJIFILM service facility.
Should this occur, you can use features such as the despeckling function
provided in the image processing software to remedy the problem.
☞ Note
Preventing Soiling of the CCD
• Change the lens in an area free of soling and dust.
• While the lens is detached from the camera, always fit the camera body cap
provided onto the camera. Check that the body cap and lens are free of any
soiling or dust.
☞ Note
Points to Note when Cleaning the CCD
• Use a blower that does not have a brush attached. Using a blower brush to
clean soiling from the CCD can scratch the CCD surface.
• If there is soiling on the CCD that cannot be removed using a blower, such as
oil or fingermarks, take the camera to an authorized FUJIFILM dealer for
cleaning. Never attempt to clean the CCD by wiping it as the CCD is
extremely fragile.
3 Check that all the soiling has been removed and then
hold down both the self-timer button “!” and the AE
lock button “AE-L” as you switch the camera off. Then
disconnect the AC power adapter from the camera.
• When you switch the camera off, the mirror drops down and the shutter
closes at the same time. Ensure that your fingers are not caught inside
the camera.
If any battery fluid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe the battery
compartment thoroughly and then load new batteries.
If battery fluid comes into contact with your hands or clothing, wash the
area thoroughly with running water. If the fluid gets into your eye, it could
cause blindness. Flush the affected eye with clean water and then seek
medical assistance.
● Disposing of batteries
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations.
● Notes on Using Small Rechargeable Batteries (Ni-MH/Ni-Cd)
• Charge AA-size Ni-MH and Ni-Cd batteries correctly using the Battery Charger (220V
AC only, sold separately).
• Do not use batteries other than those specified in the Battery Charger (220V AC only,
sold separately).
• Note that batteries may feel warm immediately after charging. This is normal.
• Ni-MH and Ni-Cd batteries are not charged when they are shipped. Always charge new
batteries before using them.
• Due to the mechanical characteristics of the camera, a very small amount of current
flows even when the camera is switched off. Take particular care with Ni-MH and Ni-Cd
batteries as they will become excessively discharged and may no longer function even
when charged if you leave them in the camera for a long period.
• Ni-MH and Ni-Cd batteries self-discharge when not used. Always recharge the batteries
before using them. If the time for which a battery can be used decreases markedly even
when if are correctly charged, this indicates that the battery has reached the end of its
effective life. Purchase a new battery.
• Soiling such as fingermarks or grease on the poles of Ni-MH batteries can significantly
reduce the number of shots that can be taken using the batteries. If this occurs, wipe
the poles carefully with a soft dry cloth and recharge the batteries once they have fully
discharged.
• Do not carry SmartMedia in locations such as a trouser pocket. This could subject the
SmartMedia to excessive force when you sit down, thereby damaging the SmartMedia.
• The SmartMedia may feel warm when it is removed from the camera after being used for
an extended period. This is normal and does not indicate a fault.
• SmartMedia cards have a limited life. After a long period of use it will become impossible to
record new image data on the card. In this event, purchase a new card.
• Stick the enclosed index label onto the index area on the SmartMedia. Do not use third-
party labels on the SmartMedia as this can cause faults when the SmartMedia is inserted
or removed.
• Take care that index labels do not overlap into the write-protect area.
• If there is any initial product defect in SmartMedia as a result of manufacturing by
FUJIFILM, the same number of replacement cards will be provided free of charge.
FUJIFILM accepts no liability for faults attributable to other causes.
■ Notes on using Microdrive and CompactFlash
• Do not write on the media label.
• Do not peel off the media label.
• Do not stick another label onto a media.
• When carrying or storing a media, keep it in the protective case provided.
• Do not use media in CF Type II slots that do not have an eject function.
• Take care when handling media that have been used for long periods as they may become
hot.
• Do not place media close to strong magnets.
• Keep media dry.
• Do not apply excessive force to the media cover.
■ Notes on using media with a personal computer
• If you intend to take photos using a media that has been used on a personal computer, first
format the media on your camera.
• When you format a media in the camera and then photograph and record images, a folder
is automatically created on the media. Image data is then recorded in this folder.
• Do not change or delete the folder names or file names on the media from your PC as this
will make it impossible to use the media in your camera.
• Always use the camera to erase image data on a media.
• To edit image data, copy the image data to the computer’s hard disk and then edit the
copied data.
