Notes on Using Your Camera Correctly
■ Places to Avoid
Do not store or use the camera in the following types of
locations:
●Very humid, dirty or dusty places
●In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme
temperature rises, such as in a closed car in summer.
Extremely cold places
●Places subject to strong vibrations
●Places affected by smoke or steam
●Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as places
near motors, transformers or magnets)
●For long periods in contact with chemicals such as
pesticides or next to rubber or vinyl products
■ Do not expose the camera to sand.
The FinePix1400 ZOOM is particularly and adversely
affected by sand. In sandy locations such as beaches or
deserts, or in locations where there is wind borne sand,
ensure that the camera is not exposed to sand. This can
cause faults that may be irreparable.
■ Notes on Condensation
If the camera is carried suddenly from a cold location into a
warm place, water droplets (condensation) may form on
the inside of the camera or on the lens. When the
viewfinder lamp is lit orange or flashing orange, this
indicates that data access is in progress. Condensation
may also form on the SmartMedia card. In this event,
remove the SmartMedia and wait a short time before using
it again.
■ When the Camera is Unused for Long Periods
If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period, of
time remove the batteries and the SmartMedia card before
storing the camera.
■ Cleaning Your Camera
●Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens and
LCD surface and then wipe lightly with a soft, dry cloth. If
any soiling remains, apply a small amount of lens
cleaning liquid to a piece of Fujifilm lens cleaning paper
and wipe gently.
●Do not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD
monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces are easily
damaged.
●Clean the body of the camera with a soft dry cloth. Do not
use volatile substances such as thinners, benzine or
insecticide, as these may react with camera body and
cause deformation or remove the coating.
■ When travelling overseas
Do not place your camera in the check-in baggage.
Baggage handling at airports may subject baggage to
violent shocks, and the camera may be damaged internally
even when no external damage is visible.
eBe sure to read this information in conjunction with before you use this product “Safety Notes”
(➡P.85) to ensure that you use your camera correctly.
