CHARGING THE BATTERY
Charging battery without cradle
Using the AC Power Adapter
Use the AC power adapter to avoid losing
power at inconvenient times, such as when
downloading photographed images to the
computer. You can take pictures and play back
images without worrying about depleting the
battery.
hCompatible AC power adapters
AC-5VW (included)
AC-5VH (sold separately)
AC-5VHS (sold separately)
!
Always use the FUJIFILM products listed on the left.
!
See P.89 for notes on using the AC power adapter.
!
Only connect or disconnect the AC power adapter when
the camera is off.
Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter
while the camera is 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.
!
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.
!
The shape of the plug and socket-outlet depends on the
country of use.
When using the camera for the first time after
purchasing, the date and time are cleared. Press
the “MENU/OK” button to set the date and time.

If the message (see figure at left) does not appear, refer to
“Correcting the date and time” (P.16) and check and correct
the date and time settings.
!
The message also appears when the battery has been
removed and the camera has been left for a long period.
!
To set the date and time later, press the “DISP/BACK” button.
!
If you do not set the date and time, this message will appear
each time you turn the camera on.
Once you have set the date and time, press the
“MENU/OK” button. Pressing the “MENU/OK”
button changes the camera to Photography or
Playback mode.
!
At the time of purchase and after leaving the camera for a
long period with the battery removed, settings such as the
date and time are cleared. Once the AC power adapter has
been connected or the battery has been fitted for 2 hours or
more, the camera settings will be retained for roughly 6 hours
even if both sources of camera power are removed.

Charging the battery
When you try to charge the battery immediately after the camera has been used continuously for a long
period (e.g. shooting a movie or connected to a PC), charging may not begin soon (the viewfinder lamp
does not turn red).
This is not a fault, but is for protecting the battery from being charged while it is warm. Batteries may
degrade when charged at high temperatures.
Leave the camera connected to the AC power adapter or set in its cradle, and charging will
automatically begin within 20 minutes.
