of locations:

hIn the rain or in very humid, dirty or dusty places

hIn direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme

temperature rises, such as in a closed car in

summer

hExtremely cold places

hPlaces with strong vibration

hPlaces with smoke or steam

■Damage by Water or Sand

The FinePix S9000 / FinePix S9500 can be damaged

on the inside and outside by water and sand. When

you are at the beach or close to water, make sure that

the camera is not damaged by water or sand. Take

care not to place the camera on a wet surface.

■Damage by Condensation

If the camera is carried from a cold location into a

warm place, water droplets (condensation) may form

on the inside of the camera or on the lens. When this

occurs, turn the camera off and wait an hour before

using the camera. Condensation may also form on the

media. In this event, remove the media and wait a

short time.

■When the Camera is Not Used or is stored

Periods of Time

If you do not intend to use the camera for a long

period of time, remove the batteries and the media.

■Cleaning Your Camera

hUse a blower brush to remove any dust on the lens,

LCD monitor, viewfinder or external AF sensor and

then gently wipe the camera with a soft, dry cloth. If

any soil remains, apply a small amount of lens

cleaning liquid to a piece of FUJIFILM lens cleaning

paper and wipe gently.

hDo not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD

monitor or viewfinder.

hClean the body of the camera with a soft, dry cloth.

Do not use volatile substances or cleaning products

these items can cause damage.

■Using the Camera When Traveling

When traveling overseas, do not place your camera in

the check-in baggage. Baggage can be subjected to

violent shocks, and the camera may be damaged

inside or outside.

Power Supply and Batteries

Applicable Batteries

hIn the camera, use AA-size alkaline or Ni-MH

(nickel-metal hydride) rechargeable batteries.

Do not use AA-size manganese or nickel-cadmium

(Ni-Cd) batteries in your FinePix S9000 / FinePix

S9500 because the heat created by the batteries

could damage the camera or cause it not to work.

hThe life of alkaline batteries varies between brands.

The life of batteries you purchase may be shorter

than those provided with the camera.

Notes on the Batteries

Incorrect use of the batteries could cause them to

leak, become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the

precautions given below.

hDo not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.

hDo not carry or store batteries with metal objects

such as necklaces or hairpins.

hDo not expose the batteries to water, and keep

batteries from getting wet or stored in moist

locations.

hDo not attempt to take apart or change the batteries,

including battery casings.

hDo not subject the batteries to strong impacts.

hDo not use batteries that are leaking, deformed,

discolored.

hDo not store batteries in warm or humid places.

hKeep the batteries out of reach of babies and small

children.

hMake sure that the battery polarity (≠and –) is

correct.

hDo not use new with used batteries. Do not use

charged and discharged batteries together.

hDo not use different types or brands of batteries at

the same time.

hIf you do not intend to use the camera for a long

period of time, remove the batteries from the

camera. Note if the camera is left with the batteries

removed, the time and date settings are cleared.

hThe batteries feel warm right after being used.

Before removing the batteries, turn the camera off

and wait for the batteries to cool down.

hSince batteries do not work well in cold weather or

locations, warm the batteries by placing them inside

your garments before use. Batteries do not work well

when cold. They will work again when the

temperature returns to normal.

hSoil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals

makes the batteries charge less reducing the

number of images. Carefully wipe the battery

terminals with a soft dry cloth before loading.

If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe

the battery compartment thoroughly and then

load new batteries.

If any battery fluid comes into contact with your

hands or clothing, flush the area thoroughly

with water. Note that battery fluid can cause

loss of eyesight if it gets into your eyes. If this

occurs, do not rub your eyes. Flush the fluid

out with clean water and contact your physician

for treatment.
