Once you have attached both ends of the strap, check carefully to make sure that the strap is firmly secured. LOADING THE BATTERIES Compatible batteries h AA-size alkaline batteries (LR6) (4), or AA-size Ni-MH batteries (HR-AA) (4) (sold separately). ! Please use the same brand and grade AA-size alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera. How to use the batteries h Never use the following types of batteries, as this could cause serious Outer casing problems such as battery fluid leakage or overheating: 1. Batteries with split or peeling outer casings 2. Combinations of different types of batteries or new and used batteries together h Do not use manganese or Ni-Cd batteries. h Soil, such as fingermarks on the poles of the batteries can shorten time for which the batteries can be used. h The time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referred to hereafter simply as alkaline batteries) can be used varies depending on the brand. Some alkaline batteries may stop providing power more quickly than those supplied with the camera. Note also that due to their nature, the time for which alkaline batteries can be used decreases in cold conditions (0°C to +10°C/+32°F to +50°F). The use of AA-size Ni-MH batteries is better for this reason. h Use Fujifilm Battery charger (sold separately) to charge AA-size Ni-MH batteries. h See P.107-108 for other notes on using batteries. h When first purchased or if left unused for a long period, the amount of time which AA-size Ni-MH batteries can be used may be short. See P.108 for more information. ! Attach the strap correctly to avoid dropping the camera. 2 Pull the lens cap cord through the strap. 1 Getting Ready !

The exposure is determined by the combination of aperture and shutter speed. In AE (Autoexposure), the camera determines the correct exposure, allowing for factors such as the brightness of the subject and the sensitivity setting. The graph at left shows the way the aperture and shutter speed settings can be changed while maintaining the same exposure level. Closed
