LOADING THE BATTERIES Compatible batteries h AA-size alkaline batteries (4) or AA-size Ni-MH rechargeable batteries (4) (sold separately) ! 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 they 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 brands of 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.118-119 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.119 for more information. ! Attach the strap correctly to prevent dropping the camera. 2 Pull the lens cap cord through the strap. 1 Getting Ready !
