6.1.1 Using the optional AC Power adapter

Always use only the FUJIFILM “AC Power Adapter AC-3V” or the “AC Power Adapter AC-3VW” bundled with the PictureCradle CP-FXA10 (P.73).

Use the AC power adapter to avoid losing power at inconvenient times, such as when you are downloading photographed images to your computer. You can take pictures and play back images without worrying about depleting the batteries.

! See P.75 for notes on using the AC power adapter.

! By using the optional cradle, the AC power adapter bundled with the cradle must be used. The use of AC power adapters other than the bundled product will cause faults.

! Only connect or disconnect the AC power adapter when the camera is turned off.

Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter while the camera is turned on temporarily interrupts the power supply to the camera, so that images or movies being shot are not recorded. Failing to turn the camera off first can also result in damage to the xD-Picture Card or malfunctions during PC connection.
