Technical Notes
Caring for the Camera

To ensure continued enjoyment of the product, observe the following precautions.
Storage and Use
If the camera will not be used for an
extended period, remove the battery
and memory card. Do not store or
use the camera in locations that are:
exposed to rain, steam, or smoke
very humid or extremely dusty
exposed to direct sunlight or very
high temperatures, such as in a
closed vehicle on a sunny day
extremely cold
subject to strong vibration
exposed to strong magnetic fields,
such as near a broadcasting antenna, power line, radar emitter, motor,
transformer, or magnet
in contact with volatile chemicals
such as pesticides
next to rubber or vinyl products
Technical Notes
Water and Sand

Exposure to water and sand can also
damage the camera and its internal
circuitry and mechanisms. When
using the camera at the beach or
seaside, avoid exposing the camera
to water or sand. Do not place the
camera on a wet surface.
Condensation
Sudden increases in temperature,
such as occur when entering a heated
building on a cold day, can cause condensation inside the camera. If this
occurs, turn the camera off and wait
an hour before turning it on again. If
condensation forms on the memory
card, remove the card and wait for the
condensation to dissipate.
77
Caring for the Camera
Cleaning
Use a blower to remove dust from the lens and LCD monitor, then gently wipe
with a soft, dry cloth. Any remaining stains can be removed by wiping gently
with a piece of FUJIFILM lens-cleaning paper to which a small amount of lenscleaning fluid has been applied. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the
lens or LCD monitor. The camera body can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Traveling
Keep the camera in your carry-on baggage. Checked baggage may suffer
violent shocks that could damage the camera.

Specifications
Notices
Specifications subject to change without notice. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for
damages resulting from errors in this manual.
Although the LCD monitor is manufactured using advanced high-precision technology, small bright points and anomalous colors may appear, particularly in the vicinity
of text. This is normal for this type of LCD monitor and does not indicate a malfunction; images recorded with the camera are unaffected.
Digital cameras may malfunction when exposed to strong radio interference (e.g.,
electric fields, static electricity, or line noise).
Due to the type of lens used, some distortion may occur at the periphery of images.
This is normal.
