SELECTING THE POWER SUPPLY
IUsing Batteries
The FinePix40i takes 2 nickel-metal hydride
(Ni-MH) or Ni-Cd batteries. The two batteries
used should both be of the same type.
Lithium or manganese batteries should not be used at all as
they emit heat and can damage the camera.
NBatteries that Can Be ChargedN
GAA-size Ni-MH batteries
Fujifilm HR-3UF: 2 (supplied with the camera or sold separately)
GAA-size Ni-Cd batteries
Fujifilm KR-3UF: 4 (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.108 for information on the number of shots that can
be taken using batteries.
G! Alkaline batteries should only be used in an emergency. Note
the following when using alkaline batteries:
• The battery terminals should be wiped clean with a clean, dry cloth.
• The number of available shots and the audio playback times are
limited. The number of available shots and the audio playback
times vary depending on the battery brand and the ambient
temperature. At temperatures of +5°C (+40°F) and below, it may
not be possible to take pictures or play back music. The lens
cover may also fail to open or close fully.
• Because you are using the FinePix40i with the LCD monitor
switched off, the power cuts out without a remaining battery low
warning being displayed (if the FinePix40i is used with the LCD
monitor switched off at temperatures of +20°C (+68°F) and above).
Number of available shots: About 30
Available audio playback time: About 100 minutes

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.
(Especially the first time you charge the batteries,
you should clean the battery terminals and charger
terminals and then insert the batteries into the
charger and remove them several times before you
start charging.)
✽ 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.
Battery charging will be completed in about 13 hours,
but the power lamp remains lit. Unplug the battery
charger from the power outlet when it is not in use.
G! Fully discharged Ni-MH batteries take approximately
13 hours (1,600 mAh) to recharge. KR-3UF Ni-Cd
batteries take approximately 8 hours to recharge.
Shorter charging times can be achieved using the
Ni-MH/Battery Charger BCH-NH (➡P.93).
G! If you recharge Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries before they
are fully depleted, this results in the “memory effect” ✽,
which causes the battery low warning to appear sooner.
To restore the batteries to their normal condition, use up
all the charge in the batteries before recharging them.
✽ Memory effect: A phenomenon whereby the battery 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.
1
G! Do not apply excessive force to the battery cover.
G! Always switch the camera off when replacing the
batteries. If the camera is left switched on, the
camera settings may revert to the factory default
settings.
G! If the AC power adapter has been connected or the
batteries have been installed for about half a day or
longer, the camera settings will be retained for about
half a day after the AC power adapter has been
disconnected and the batteries have been removed.
Check the date setting after you replace the batteries.
