Memo 148
Explanation of Terms Deactivated batteries Leaving an Ni-MH battery unused in storage for a long period may cause a rise in the level of substances that inhibit current flow inside the battery and result in a dormant battery. A battery in this state is referred to as deactivated. Because current flow is inhibited in a deactivated Ni-MH battery, the battery’s original level of performance cannot be achieved. EV A number denotes Exposure Value.

Memo 157
Safety Notes • Make sure that you use your FinePix A900/FinePix A825/FinePix A820/FinePix A610/FinePix A800 camera correctly. Read these Safety Notes and your Owner’s Manual carefully before use. • After reading these Safety Notes, store them in a safe place. About the Icons The icons shown below are used in this document to indicate the severity of the injury or damage that can result if the information indicated by the icon is ignored and the product is used incorrectly as a result.
WARNING Do not change, heat or unduly twist or pull the connection cord and do not place heavy objects on the connection cord. These actions could damage the cord and cause a fire or electric shock. • If the cord is damaged, contact your FUJIFILM dealer. Do not place the camera on an unstable surface. This can cause the camera to fall or tip over and cause injury. Never attempt to take pictures while in motion. Do not use the camera while you are walking or driving a vehicle.
Safety Notes WARNING When discarding or storing batteries, cover the battery terminals with insulation tape. Contact with other metallic objects or batteries could cause the batteries to ignite or burst. Keep Memory Cards out of the reach of small children. Because Memory Cards are small, they can be swallowed by children. Be sure to store Memory Cards out of the reach of small children. If a child swallows a Memory Card, seek medical attention or call an emergency number.
CAUTION When you are cleaning the camera or you do not plan to use the camera for an extended period, remove the batteries and disconnect and unplug the AC power adapter. Failure to do so can cause a fire or electric shock. When charging ends, unplug the charger from the power socket. Leaving the charger plugged into the power socket can cause a fire. Using a flash too close to a person’s eyes may temporarily affect the eyesight. Take particular care when photographing infants and young children.
