CHARGING AND LOADING THE BATTERIES
Use 2 nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries of
the same type.
✽Lithium, manganese or nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries
cannot be used.
1
N Batteries that Can Be Charged N
hAA-size Ni-MH batteries
Fujifilm HR-3UF: 2 (supplied with the camera or
sold separately)
Attempting to charge batteries other than those
specified for use with the charger (such as
manganese, alkaline or lithium batteries) can
cause the batteries to burst or leak. This could
result in a fire or injury and consequent damage
to the surroundings.
✽ See P.87 for information on the number of
available shots using batteries.
G! Alkaline batteries should only be used in an
emergency. Note the following when using alkaline
batteries:
iThe battery terminals should be wiped clean with a
clean, dry cloth.
iAlways switch the LCD monitor off (➡P.22) before
using alkaline batteries. Alkaline batteries cannot be
used in Manual mode, Macro mode or Movie mode.
iThe number of available shots is limited and varies
depending on the battery brand and ambient
temperature. You may be unable to take pictures at
all at temperatures of +5°C (+41°F) or below.
iIf the the LCD monitor is switched off, the camera
switches off without first displaying a battery low
warning when the battery charge runs out.
12
Load the rechargeable batteries into the battery
charger as indicated on the label.
G! Ni-MH batteries are not fully charged at shipment
and must be charged before being used. Newly
purchased batteries or batteries that have been left
unused for an extended period may not be fully
charged (This is indicated by the immediate display
of the battery low warning or a low number of
available shots). This is a normal characteristic of
the batteries and does not indicate a fault.
Repeatedly charging and using the batteries 3 or 4
times will restore them to a normal condition.
G! If the terminals of nickel-metal hydride batteries are
soiled, it may not be possible to charge them. To
avoid possible problems, clean the battery terminals
and charger terminals with a clean, dry cloth. (Clean
the battery and charger terminals with a clean, dry
cloth the first time the batteries are charged. Then
insert and remove the batteries from the charger
several times prior to charging.)

Charge lamp
✽ The shapes of the Battry charger, the plug and socket outlet
depend on the country.
Plug the charger into a power outlet to begin charging.
Charging ends after about 5 hours and the charging
lamp goes off. Unplug the battery charger from the
power outlet when it is not in use.
G! Fully discharged Ni-MH batteries take approximately
5 hours (1700 mAh) to recharge. Shorter charging
times can be achieved using the Ni-MH/Battery
Charger BCH-NH (➡P.71).
G! If you repeatedly charge a Ni-MH batteries before it
is fully discharged, it will suffer from the “memory
effect”✽, causing the battery low warning to appear
while there is still ample charge remaining in the
batteries. You can restore the batteries to normal
operation by running the batteries completely flat
before charging them.
✽ Memory effect: A phenomenon whereby the batteries
properties are such that its capacity is lower
than the nominal amount.
G! Do not use old and new batteries together.
Slide the battery cover out to open it.
G! Install the equipment near a socket outlet for easy
accessibility.
G! Do not apply excessive force to the battery cover.
G! If you connect the optional AC power adapter or leave
the batteries in the camera for roughly 10 minutes, the
settings will be retained for approximately 12 hours
even if you disconnect the AC power adapter or
remove the batteries. After replacing the batteries,
check the date/time settings, etc.

G! Soil (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of batteries
can greatly reduce the time for which the batteries
provide power.
G! When taking pictures, keep a spare set of fully
charged Ni-MH batteries (sold separately) in reserve.
G! Take care not to drop the batteries when opening
and closing the battery cover.
14
G! See P.75 for notes on using the batteries.
G! Images cannot be recorded or erased if a write-
protect sticker is affixed to the SmartMedia.
G! Operation of this camera is only guaranteed when it
is used with Fujifilm SmartMedia.
G! Some 3.3V SmartMedia are labelled as “3V” or “ID”
cards.
G! See P.78 for more information on SmartMedia.
1Check that the camera is turned off. Then turn
the camera so that the battery cover is upwards
and slide the cover open.
2Push the SmartMedia firmly into the SmartMedia
slot as far as it will go.
3Close the battery cover.
G! If you open the battery cover while the camera is
switched on, the camera is automatically switched
off to protect the SmartMedia.
G! The SmartMedia will not slide fully into the slot if it is
inserted facing the wrong way. Be careful not to
apply undue force to the SmartMedia.
