Notes on the Power Supply

This is particularly true of alkaline batteries. In cold

conditions, put the batteries in your pocket or a similar place to warm them before loading them into the camera. If you use a body warmer to warm the

batteries, ensure that they are not in direct contact with the warmer.

Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals

can markedly reduce the number of available

frames. Carefully wipe the battery terminals clean with a soft dry cloth before loading the batteries.

_lf any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe

the battery compartment thoroughly and then load new batteries.

_]f 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. ff this occurs, do not rub your eyes. Flush the fluid out with clean water and contact your physician for treatment.

eAs a power source in digital cameras, AA-size Ni-

MH batteries are superior to alkaline batteries in several ways, such as allowing more shots to be taken with the camera. However, care must be taken

with the way Ni-MH batteries are used if their

original performance is to be maintained.

Ni-MH batteries left unused in storage for long

periods can become "deactivated". Also, repeatedly

charging Ni-MH batteries that are only partially

discharged can cause them to suffer from the "memory effect".

Ni-MH batteries that are "deactivated" or affected by

"memory" suffer from the problem of only providing

power for a short time after being charged. To

prevent this problem, discharge and recharge them

several times using the camera's "Discharging

rechargeable batteries" function. By repeating this

cycle several times, the temporary reduction in

performance caused by "memory" or "deactivation"

can be remedied and the batteries can be restored

to their original performance levels.

Deactivation and memory are specific to Ni-MH batteries and are not in fact battery faults. See P.lO9

for the procedure for "Discharging rechargeable batteries"

Do not use the _'Discharging rechargeable batteries' function when alkaline batteries are being used.

• To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the quick battery

charger (sold separately). Refer to the instructions supplied with the charger to ensure that the charger is used correctly.

Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries other than those specified for use with the charger.

Note that the batteries may feel warm immediately after being charged.

Due to the way the camera is constructed, a small amount of current is used even when the camera is

turned off. Note in particular that leaving Ni-MH

batteries in the camera for a long period will

overdischarge the batteries and may render them unusable even after recharging.

Ni-MH batteries will self-discharge even when not

108 used, and the time for which they can be used may

be shortened as a result.

Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if

overdischarged (eg. by discharging the batteries in a

flashlight). Use the "Discharging rechargeable

batteries" function provided in the camera to discharge the batteries.

Ni-MH batteries have a limited service life. If a battery can only be used for a short time even after

repeated discharge-charge cycles it may have reached the end of its service life.

Disposing of Batteries

When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations.

Always use the AC Power Adapter AC-5VH/AC-5VHS with the camera.

The use of an AC power adapter other than AC-5VH/

AC-5VHS could result in damage to your digital camera.

This AC power adapter is designed exclusively for indoor use.

Plug the connection cord plug securely into the DC input terminal of the FUJIFILM Digital camera.

Turn off the FUJIFILM Digital camera before

disconnecting the connection cord from the

FUJIFILM Digital camera's DC input terminal. To

disconnect, take hold of the plug and pull it out (do

not disconnect it by pulling on the cord).

Do not use this AC power adapter with any device except the specified device.

During use, this AC power adapter will become hot to the touch, but this is normal.

Do not disassemble the AC power adapter. Doing so could be dangerous.

Do not use this device in a place with high

temperature and high humidity.

Do not drop or subject this device to strong shocks.

This device may emit a humming noise, but this is normal.

If used near a radio this device may cause static, so play the radio in a distant place.

The "Discharging rechargeable batteries" function can only be used with Ni-MH batteries.

The "Discharging rechargeable batteries" function should not be used with alkaline batteries as it will completely drain the battery charge.

S7000 specifications

The FujiFilm S7000 digital camera, launched in the early 2000s, marked a significant advancement in the world of digital photography, particularly for enthusiasts and semi-professional photographers. With its unique features and technologies, the S7000 positioned itself as a versatile camera that delivered high-quality images and usability.

One of the highlights of the S7000 is its Super CCD technology, which features a 6.3-megapixel sensor that effectively captures images at a resolution of 12-megapixels via interpolation. This technology allows for greater dynamic range and enhanced detail, making it possible to produce large prints without sacrificing quality. The camera boasts a wide ISO range from 80 to 1600, making it adaptable for various lighting conditions, whether bright daylight or low-light environments.

The S7000 features a 6x optical zoom lens with a focal length equivalent to 35-210mm in 35mm film terms, providing flexibility for different types of photography, from landscapes to close-up portraits. The lens design includes aspherical elements to reduce aberrations, ensuring sharp images across the zoom range. In addition to its optical capabilities, the camera supports digital zoom, allowing users to extend the zoom range further, albeit at a loss of quality.

An ergonomic design sets the S7000 apart, with a robust build that fits comfortably in hand. The camera features a 1.8-inch LCD screen, which can be tilted for versatile shooting angles, along with an optical viewfinder for traditional composing. Notably, the S7000 includes both manual and automatic exposure modes, giving photographers the creative control they desire while still accommodating those who prefer point-and-shoot functionality.

The S7000 also offers advanced features such as multiple scene modes and the ability to shoot in RAW format, providing flexibility in post-processing. Users benefit from its Continuous Shooting mode, allowing for capturing a rapid series of shots, which is particularly useful in sports or wildlife photography.

Overall, the FujiFilm S7000 is a significant camera that combines innovative technology with user-friendly design. Its combination of Super CCD technology, versatile zoom capabilities, and robust shooting options make it a memorable part of photography history, appealing to both beginners and seasoned photographers alike. With its introduction, FujiFilm brought the digital camera experience to new heights, laying the groundwork for future advancements in the field.
