Battery (NP-40N)

Using Your Camera Correctly

e Read this information and the “Safety Notes” (P.116), to make sure you use your camera correctly.

Battery Life

At normal temperatures, the NP-40N can be used at least 300 times.

hDo not attempt to take apart or change the battery. hDo not recharge the battery with chargers other

those specified.

Places to Avoid

Do not store or use the camera in the following types of locations:

h In the rain or in very humid, dirty or dusty places

hIn direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme temperature rises, such as in a closed car in summer

h Extremely cold places

h Places with strong vibration h Places with smoke or steam

hPlaces subject to strong magnetic fields (such as near motors, transformers or magnets)

hIn contact with chemicals such as pesticides h Next to rubber or vinyl products

Damaged by Water or Sand

FinePix F470 can be damaged on the inside and outside by water and sand. When you are at the beach or close to water, make sure that the camera is not damaged by water or sand. Take care not to place the camera on a wet surface.

Damaged by Condensation

If the camera is carried 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, turn the camera off and wait an hour before

using the camera. Condensation may also form on the xD-Picture card. In this event, remove the xD-Picture card and wait a short time.

When the Camera is Not Used or is stored Periods of Time

If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the battery and the xD-Picture card.

Cleaning Your Camera

hUse a blower brush to remove any dust on the lens or LCD monitor, and then gently wipe the camera with a soft, dry cloth. If any soil remains, apply a small amount of lens cleaning liquid to a piece of FUJIFILM lens cleaning paper and wipe gently.

hDo not scratch hard objects against the lens or LCD monitor.

hClean the body of the camera with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use volatile substances or cleaning products these items can cause damage.

Using the Camera When Traveling

When traveling overseas, do not place your camera in the check-in baggage. Baggage can be subjected to violent shocks, and the camera may be damaged inside or outside.

If the time for which the NP-40N provides power shortens markedly, this indicates that the NP-40N has reached the end of its effective life. If this happens, purchase NP-40 and replace it.

Notes on storage

The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery NP-40N is both compact and capable of storing large quantities of power. However, if it is stored for long periods while charged, the performance of the battery can be impaired.

hIf the battery will not be used for some time, run the battery out before storing it.

hIf you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the battery from the camera.

hPlace the battery pack inside the soft case and store in a cool place.

The battery should be stored in a dry location with an ambient temperature between +15°C and +25°C (+59°F and +77°F).

Do not leave the battery in hot or extremely cold places.

Handling the Battery

To avoid injury or damage, observe the following:

hDo not carry or store battery with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.

hDo not heat the battery or throw it into a fire.

hDispose of used battery promptly.

To avoid damaging the battery or shortening its life, observe the following:

hDo not drop the battery or otherwise subject it to strong impacts.

hDo not expose the battery to water.

To make sure that you obtain optimum battery performance, observe the following:

hAlways keep the battery terminals clean.

hDo not store battery in warm or humid places. Storing the battery for long periods in a hot location can shorten the battery life.

If you use the battery for a long period, the camera body and the battery itself will become warm. This is normal. Use the AC power adapter supplied with the camera if you are taking pictures or viewing images for a long period of time.

Notes on the Battery (NP-40N)

This camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery NP-40N. Note the points below when using the rechargeable battery. Take particular care to read the Safety Notes to make sure that you use the battery correctly.

When shipped, the NP-40N

is not fully charged. Always charge the NP-40N before

using it. hWhen carrying the NP-40N,

install it in a digital camera or keep it in the soft case.

hWhen storing the NP-40N, place it inside the special soft case provided.

Battery Features

hThe NP-40N gradually loses its charge even when not used. Charge a NP-40N just before taking pictures (in the last day or two).

hTo maximize the life of the NP-40N, turn the camera off as quickly as possible when it is not being used.

hThe number of available frames will be lower in cold locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare fully charged NP-40.

If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place the NP-40N directly against the pad. The camera may not operate if you use a depleted NP-40N in cold conditions.

Charging the Battery

hYou can charge the battery using the battery charger (included).

i The NP-40N can be charged at ambient temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an ambient temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes about 90 minutes to charge a fully depleted NP-40N battery.

i You should charge the NP-40N at an ambient temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and +95°F). If you charge the NP-40N at a temperature outside this range, charging takes longer because the performance of the NP-40N is impaired.

i You cannot charge the NP-40N at temperatures of 0°C (+32°F) or below.

hThe NP-40N does not need to be fully discharged or exhausted flat before being charged.

hThe NP-40N may feel warm after it has been

Use with the following power supply cord set:

Cord: UL Listed, Type SPT-2, No.18 AWG, rated 300V, 10A, minimum 6 ft (1.8m), maximum 10 ft (3m) long.

One end terminates in a molded-on, parallel-blade, (non-polarized) attachment plug with a 7A, 125V (NEMA 1-15P) configuration.

hThe battery and battery charger themselves will become warm due to the power stored inside them. This is normal and does not indicate a fault. Wherever possible, use the battery charger in a well- ventilated location.

hThere may be vibration noises from inside the battery charger during use. This is normal and does not indicate a fault.

hDo not use the battery charger to charge batteries other than rechargeable battery NP-40N/NP-40.

hThe battery charger could cause interference if placed close to a radio during charging. In this event, move the radio and charger further apart.

hDo not leave the battery charger in the following types of locations:

i Extremely humidity or high temperatures, such as close to a heating appliance or in direct sunlight

i Places with strong vibration

hThe battery charger accepts input voltages of 100- 240 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz and can be used all over the world. However, the shape of the plug and socket-outlet depends on the country of use. Consult your travel agent for details.
