■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).
●In contact with chemicals such as pesticides or next
to rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time.
■Do not expose the camera to sand
The FinePix6800 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
this occurs, switch the camera off and wait an hour
before using the camera. 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.
■Using the Camera Overseas
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 “Safety Notes” (➡P.127) to ensure that you use
your camera correctly.
●SC-FX8
This is a special deerskin case that protects the camera against soiling, dust and
minor impacts when it is being carried.
