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.

◆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.
