Compatible batteries

hAA-size alkaline batteries (2), Rechargeable Battery NH-10 (sold separately), or AA-size Ni-MH batteries (sold separately) (2).

! Please use the same brand and grade AA-size alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera.

How to use the batteries

hNever use the following types of batteries, as this could cause serious problems such as batteries 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 hDo not use manganese or Ni-Cd batteries.

hSoil, such as fingermarks on the poles of the batteries can shorten time for which the batteries can be used.

hThe time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referred to hereafter simply as alkaline batteries) can be used varies depending on the brand, and 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.

hCradle can be used in combination with camera and to charge rechargeable Battery NH-10 (sold separately). Use Fujifilm Battery charger (sold separately) to charge AA-size Ni-MH batteries.

hSee P.74, 75 for other notes on using batteries.

hWhen first purchased or if left unused for a long period, the time for which AA-size Ni-MH batteries or rechargeable Battery NH-10 can be used may be shorter. See P.75 more information.

hWhen the surfaces of the Rechargeable Battery NH-10 terminals have become worn through repeated use or the battery has been taken out of the camera and left for a long period, the battery may stop supplying power or may become usable only for shorter periods.

To restore normal battery operation, open and close the battery cover several times to dislodge any soiling on the terminals.
