14CHARGING THE BATTERYDC IN 5V socketCheck that the camera is switched off. Plug theAC power adapter connector into the DC IN 5Vsocket on the camera and then plug the adapteritself into the main power outlet.The self timer lamp lights (blue) and batterycharging begins. When charging is completed,the self-timer lamp switches off.A fully discharged battery takes roughly 3 hoursto fully recharge (at an ambient temperature of+21°C to +25°C (+70°F to +77°F)).Using the AC Power AdapterUse the AC power adapter to avoid losing powerat inconvenient times, such as when you aredownloading photographed images to yourcomputer. Using the AC power adapter alsoallows you to take pictures and play back imageswithout worrying about depleting the battery.hCompatible AC power adaptersAC-5VS/AC-5VHS/AC-5VH●! Use only the FUJIFILM products listed above.●! See P.94 for notes on using the AC power adapter.●! Only connect or disconnect the AC power adapter whenthe camera is switched off.Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter whilethe camera is switched on temporarily interrupts thepower supply to the camera, so that images or moviesbeing shot at the time are not recorded. Failing to switchthe camera off first can also result in damage to theSmartMedia or malfunctions during PC connection.●! Charging times increase at low temperatures.●! If the self-timer lamp flashes during charging, a chargingerror has occurred and the battery cannot be charged. Ifthis occurs, see P.100.●! Switching the camera on during charging interrupts thecharging.●! You can charge the battery more quickly by using theBC-60 Battery Charger (sold separately) (➡P.89).●!

Notes on the Power Supply92Notes on Using the Battery (NP-60)This camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion BatteryPack NP-60. Note the points below when using therechargeable battery. Take particular care to read theSafety Notes to ensure that you use the battery correctly.✽When shipped, the NP-60 is not fully charged. Alwayscharge the NP-60 before using it.h When carrying the NP-60, install it in a digitalcamera or keep it in thesoft case.h When storing the NP-60,place it inside the specialsoft case provided.Soft caseBattery(NP-60)■ Battery Featuresh The NP-60 gradually loses its charge even when notused. Use a NP-60 that has been charged recently (inthe last day or two) to take pictures.h To maximize the life of the NP-60, switch the cameraoff as quickly as possible when it is not being used.h The number of available shots will be lower in coldlocations or at low temperatures. Take along a sparefully charged NP-60.You can also increase the amount of power producedby putting the NP-60 in your pocket or another warmplace to heat it and then loading it into the camerajust before you take a picture.If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place theNP-60 directly against the pad. The camera may notoperate if you use a depleted NP-60 in cold conditions.■ Charging the Batteryh You can charge the NP-60 using the AC PowerAdapter AC-5VS/AC-5VHS.• The NP-60 can be charged at ambient temperaturesbetween 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At anambient temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takesapproximately 3 hours to charge a fully depletedNP-60 battery.• You should charge the NP-60 at an ambienttemperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and+95°F). If you charge the NP-60 at a temperatureoutside this range, charging takes longer becausethe performance of the NP-60 is impaired.• You cannot charge the NP-60 at temperatures of0°C (+32°F) or below.h You can also use the optional BC-60 Battery Chargerto charge the NP-60.• The NP-60 can be charged using the BC-60 BatteryCharger at ambient temperatures between 0°C and+40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an ambienttemperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes approximately2 hours to charge a fully depleted NP-60 battery.• You should charge the NP-60 at an ambienttemperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and+95°F). If you charge the NP-60 at a temperatureoutside this range, charging takes longer becausethe performance of the NP-60 is impaired.h The NP-60 does not need to be fully discharged orexhausted flat before being charged.h The NP-60 may feel warm after it has been charged orimmediately after being used. This is perfectly normal.h Do not recharge a fully charged NP-60.■ Battery LifeAt normal temperatures, the NP-60 can be used atleast 300 times.If the time for which the NP-60 provides power shortensmarkedly, this indicates that the NP-60 has reached theend of its effective life and should be replaced.Notes on storageLithium-ion Battery Pack NP-60 is both compact andcapable of storing large quantities of power. However, ifIt is stored for long periods while charged, theperformance of the battery can be impaired.h If the battery will not be used for some time, run thebattery flat before storing it.h Always remove the battery from the camera or batterycharger when it is not being used.h Place the battery pack inside the soft case and storein a cool place.✽The battery should be stored in a dry location with anambient temperature between +15°C and +25°C(+59°F and +77°F).✽Do not leave the battery in hot or extremely cold places.■ Handling the BatteryTo avoid injury or damage, observe the following:h Do not allow the metal portions of the battery to touchother metal objects.h Do not bring the battery close to a flame or throw itinto a fire.h Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery.h Do not recharge the battery with chargers other thosespecified.h Dispose of used batteries promptly.To avoid damaging the battery or shortening itslife, observe the following:h Do not drop the battery or otherwise subject it tostrong impacts.h Do not immerse the battery in water.To ensure that you obtain optimum batteryperformance, observe the following:h Always keep the battery terminals clean.h Store the battery in a cool, dry place.

The EV isdetermined by the brightness of the subject andsensitivity (speed) of the film or CCD. The numberis larger for bright subjects and smaller for darksubjects. As the brightness of the subject changes,a digital camera maintains the amount of lighthitting the CCD at a constant level by adjusting theaperture and shutter speed.When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles,the EV increases by 1. Likewise, when the light ishalved, the EV decreases by 1.JPEG:Joint Photographics Experts GroupA file format used for compressing and saving colorimages.
