Attaching the lens hood
When attaching the lens hood, it is effective for
reducing ghost images and flare in backlit scenes.
Camera provides crisp, clear shots.
1Align the indicators on the camera and lens
hood, and fit the lens hood to the lens.
●! The lens hood cannot be attached when the optional wide-
angle conversion lens is used.
2Turn the lens hood clockwise until it clicks.

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
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
Outer casing
together
can be used.
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
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.137-138 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.138 for more information.

locations. This is normal. Try warming the batteries in your pocket or a similar location before use.
✽ Battery level warning
1) The camera’s estimation of the remaining battery charge varies greatly depending on the camera operation mode.
Consequently, even if “C” or “V” is not displayed in Playback mode, one of them may appear when you change
to Photography mode.
2) Depending on the battery type and the level of charge in the batteries, the camera may run out of power without first
displaying a battery level warning. This is particularly likely to happen when batteries that have run out of charge
once are re-used.
In situation 2), immediately load new or fully charged replacement batteries.
◆ Auto power off function ◆
If the camera is left unused for 2 or 5 minutes, the Auto power off function turns the camera off (➡P.104).
To turn the camera back on, set the Power switch to “OFF” briefly and then back to “q” or “w”.
