FujiFilm F810 6, 8, 5

Using the Camera

Use the LCD monitor to frame the shot so that the

subject fills the entire AF (Autofocus) frame.

●

The image shown on the LCD monitor before the picture is

taken may differ in brightness, color, etc. from the image

actually recorded. Play back the recorded image to check it

(➡P.29).

●

The subject may sometimes be difficult to see clearly on the

LCD monitor (in bright sunlight or dimly lit scenes, etc.). If so,

use the viewfinder to take the picture.

6

Press the shutter button down fully. When a

clicking noise is heard, the camera records the

image.

●

There is a slight delay between the shutter button being

pressed and the picture being taken. Playback the shot to

check the image.

●

When pressing the shutter button down fully in one motion,

the picture is taken without the AF frame changing.

●

When the camera takes the picture, the viewfinder lamp lights

orange (shooting disabled). The viewfinder lamp then turns

green and the next picture can be taken.

●

When taking a picture using the flash, the image may

disappear and go dark briefly due to flash charging. The

viewfinder lamp blinks orange during charging.

●

See P.118, 119 for information on the warning displays.

Click

Bebeep

Press the shutter button down halfway. When a

short double-beep is heard, the camera focuses on

your subject. The AF frame on the LCD monitor

becomes smaller and the camera sets the shutter

speed and aperture. The viewfinder lamp (green)

changes from blinking to lit.

●

When a short double-beep is hard and “{” appears on the

LCD monitor, the camera cannot focus.

●

Pressing the shutter button down halfway freezes the image

on the LCD monitor briefly. This image is not the recorded

image.

●

When “{” appears on the LCD monitor (e.g. the shot is too

dark for the camera to focus), try standing about 2 m (6.6 ft.)

from the subject to take the picture.

Before the flash fires, “∑” appears on the LCD

monitor.

◆Subjects not suitable for autofocus ◆

The FinePix F810 uses a high-precision autofocusing mechanism. However, it may have difficulty

focusing on the following:

hVery shiny subjects such as a mirror or car

body

hSubjects photographed through glass

hSubjects that do not reflect well, such as hair

or fur

hSubjects with no substance, such as smoke or

flames

hDark subjects

hFast moving subjects

hSubjects with little or no contrast between the

subject and the background (such as white

walls or subjects dressed in the same color as

the background)

hShots where another high-contrast object (not

the subject) is close to the AF frame and is

either closer or further away than your subject

(such as a shot of someone against a

background with strongly contrasting

elements)

For such subjects use AF/AE lock (➡P.26).

1Set the Power switch to “q”.

2Set the Mode dial to “B”.

hFocal range

Approx. 60 cm (2.0 ft.) to infinity

●

Use Macro mode for subjects closer than 60 cm (2.0 ft.)

(➡P.43).

●

When “7”, “-”, “q”

or “=” appears, see P.118.

Press the Flash pop-up button to pop up the flash.

●

When the flash pops up, the image may disappear and go

dark briefly due to flash charging. The viewfinder lamp blinks

orange during charging.

●

If the flash is used in dusty conditions or when it is snowing,

white dots may appear in the image due to the flash reflecting

off the dust particles or snowflakes. Use Suppressed flash

mode.

●

When the camera is turned off, the flash is closed.

Brace your elbows against your sides and hold the

camera with both hands. Position your right thumb

so that it is handy for using the zoom.

●

Moving the camera while shooting gives a blurred picture

(camera shake). Use a tripod to avoid camera shake,

particularly for shots in the dark when the selected flash

mode is Suppressed flash.

●

There may be some uneven brightness at the lower edge of

the LCD monitor. This is normal and does not affect the

image.

●

Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty, clean the lens as

informed on P.115.

Hold the camera so that your fingers or the strap do

not cover the lens, flash, AF-Assist illuminator or

flash control sensor. If the lens, flash, AF-Assist

illuminator or flash control sensor is obscured, the

brightness (exposure) of your shot may be

incorrect.

(wide-angle) button to zoom out. A zoom bar

appears on the LCD monitor.
