 LOADING THE BATTERIES
Compatible batteries
h AA-size alkaline batteries (4), or AA-size Ni-MH batteries (sold separately) (4).
●
! Please 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 this could cause serious problems Outer casing
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 together
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 can be
used.
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 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.85, 86 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.86 more information for recovering performance of Ni-

●
! Depending on the camera mode and the type of batteries used, the transition from “C” to “V” may occur more
quickly.
●
! Due to the nature of the battery, the battery low warning may appear early when the camera is used in cold
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 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.

◆ Power save function ◆

When this function is active, it also turns off the screen (sleep mode) to reduce power consumption if
the camera is not used for 60 seconds (➡P.61). If the camera is then left unused for 2 or 5 minutes, the
Power save function turns the camera off. To turn the camera back on, set the Power switch to “OFF”
briefly and then back to “q” or “w”.

Use this mode for ordinary photography. The flash fires as
required by the shooting conditions.

●
! If pressing the shutter button while the flash is charging, the picture will
be taken without the flash.

b Red-eye reduction
Use this mode to make sure that the subject’s eyes appear

◆ Red-eye effect ◆
When using the flash to take a picture of people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes
appear red in the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye.
Use Red-eye reduction flash to minimize the likelihood of this effect.
Take the following measures to make Red-eye reduction more effective:
h Get the subjects to look at the camera. h Get as close as possible to the subjects.

d Forced flash
Use this mode in backlit scenes, such as a subject against
a window or in the shade of a tree, or to get the correct
colors when taking a picture under bright lighting. In this
mode, the flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions.

6.1.1 Using the AC Power adapter (sold separately)
Always use a FUJIFILM AC Power Adapter AC-5VH/AC-5VHS (➡P.83).
Use the AC power adapter to avoid losing power at inconvenient times, such as when downloading
photographed images to your PC. You can take pictures and play back images without worrying
about depleting the batteries.

●
! Only connect or disconnect the AC power adapter when the camera is off.
Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter while the camera is turned on temporarily interrupts the power supply
to the camera, so that images or movies being shot are not recorded. Failing to turn the camera off first can also result in
damage to the xD-Picture Card or malfunctions during PC connection.

Check that the camera is off. Plug the AC power

DC IN 5V socket
adapter connector into the “DC IN 5V” socket and
then plug the AC power adapter into the power

supplied with the charger to ensure that the charger
is used correctly.
h Do not use the battery charger to charge other

h Note that the batteries feel warm after being
charged.
h Due to the way the camera is constructed, a small
amount of current is used even when the camera is
turned off. Note in particular that leaving Ni-MH
batteries in the camera for a long period will
overdischarge the batteries and may render them
unusable even after recharging.
h Ni-MH batteries will self-discharge even when not
used, and the time for which they can be used may
be shortened as a result.
h Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if
overdischarged (eg. by discharging the batteries in a

discharge the batteries.
h Ni-MH batteries have a limited service life. If a
battery can only be used for a short time even after
repeated discharge-charge cycles, it may have
reached the end of its service life.

The number of available frames, recording time or file size varies slightly depending on the subjects photographed. Note also
that the difference between standard number of frames and the actual number of frames is greater for
xD-Picture Cards with higher capacities.

✽ These specifications are subject to change without notice. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting
from errors in this Owner’s Manual.
✽ The LCD monitor and viewfinder (EVF) on your digital camera are manufactured using advanced high-precision
technology. Even so, small bright points and anomalous colors (particularly around text) may appear on the monitor on
the finder. These are normal display characteristics and do not indicate a fault with the monitor on the finder. This
phenomenon will not appear on the recorded image.
✽ The operation error may be caused in a digital camera by the strong radio interference (i. e. electric fields, static
electricity, line noise, etc.).
✽ Due to the nature of the lens, the edges of images may appear distorted. This is normal.

 Explanation of Terms
AF/AE Lock
On the FinePix S3100 / FinePix S3500, pressing the shutter button down half way locks the focus and exposure settings (AF
and AE lock). If you want to focus on a subject that is not centered in the frame or change the picture composition after the
exposure is set, you can obtain good results by changing the composition after the AF and AE settings are locked.
Auto power save function
If the camera is not used in any way for 60 seconds, this function turns features such as the LCD monitor off (sleep mode) to
prevent battery depletion and the waste of power when the AC power adapter is connected. If the camera is then left unused
for a further period, the Auto power save function turns the camera off. This period can be set to 2 minutes or 5 minutes on
this camera.
h The Auto power off function does not operate in PC mode, during automatic playback, or if it is disabled during setup.
Deactivated batteries
Leaving an Ni-MH battery unused in storage for a long period may cause a rise in the level of substances that inhibit current
flow inside the battery and result in a dormant battery. A battery in this state is referred to as deactivated.
Because current flow is inhibited in a deactivated Ni-MH battery, the battery's original level of performance cannot be
achieved.
DPOF
Digital Print Order Format
DPOF is a format used for recording information on a storage media (image memory card, etc.) that allows you to specify
which of the frames shot using a digital camera are to be printed and how many prints are made of each image.
EV
A number that denotes Exposure Value. The EV is determined by the brightness of the subject and sensitivity (speed) of the
film or CCD. The number is larger for bright subjects and smaller for dark subjects. As the brightness of the subject changes,
a digital camera maintains the amount of light hitting the CCD at a constant level by adjusting the aperture and shutter
speed.
When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles, the EV increases by 1. Likewise, when the light is halved, the EV
decreases by 1.
Frame rate (fps)
The frame rate refers to the number of images (frames) that are photographed or played back per second. For example,
when 10 frames are continuously photographed in a 1-second interval, the frame rate is expressed as 10 fps.
For reference, TV images are displayed at 30 fps (NTSC).
JPEG
Joint Photographics Experts Group
A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The higher the compression rate, the greater the loss of quality
in the decompressed (restored) image.
Memory effect
If an Ni-MH battery is repeatedly charged without first being fully discharged, its performance may drop below its original
level. This is referred to as the “memory effect”.
Motion JPEG
A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format that handles images and sound as a single file. Images in the file are
recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG can be played back by QuickTime 3.0 or later.
PC Card
A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card Standard.
PC Card Standard
A standard for PC cards determined by the PCMCIA.
PCMCIA
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (US).
Smear
A phenomenon specific to CCDs whereby white streaks appear on the image when there is a very strong light source, such
as the sun or reflected sunlight, in the photography screen.
WAVE
A standard format used on Windows systems for saving audio data. WAVE files have the “.WAV” file extension and the data
can be saved in either compressed or uncompressed format. Uncompressed recording is used on this camera.
WAVE files can be played back on a personal computer using the following software:
Windows: MediaPlayer
Macintosh: QuickTime Player
✽ QuickTime 3.0 or later
White Balance
Whatever the kind of the light, the human eye adapts to it so that a white object still looks white. On the other hand, devices
such as digital cameras see a white subject as white by first adjusting the color balance to suit the color of the ambient light
around the subject. This adjustment is called matching the white balance.

Exif Print Format is a newly revised digital camera file format that contains a variety of shooting information for optimal
printing.
