USING YOUR FINDER The large viewfinder of your FUJIFILM camera makes it easier to take better, more interesting pictures. The finder consists of two parts: A : Framing Area A Compose your picture within these framelines. B : AF (Autofocus) frame Position this frame over the main subject being photographed to ensure sharp.
1 USING YOUR CAMERA Turn the camera on and hold it firmly using both hands as shown in the illustration. When taking vertical pictures, hold the camera with the flash unit at the top. Before taking important, once-in-a-lifetime pictures such as weddings or special events, take a few test shots to make sure your camera is functioning correctly. If you purchased your camera before going on a trip, shoot a roll or two to familiarize yourself with the operation of the camera.
3 To use the zoom lens, press the T (telephoto) mark until you see the composition you want in the finder. Pressing the W (wide angle) mark will set the lens at the shorter focal lengths to obtain wide-angle coverage. ∗ ∗ 4 The focusing range for sharp pictures is from 1.0 m (3.3 ft.) to infinity at wide angle, 1.6 m (5.2 ft.) to infinity at telephoto. If you use flash for taking pictures in low light, check with the flash section to determine the operating range for correct exposure.
5 Press down the shutter release halfway. ☞ Check that the AF/flash ready lamp (green) lights up. ∗ 6 When the flash ready lamp is blinking and “ ” blinks on the LCD, the flash is charging. The shutter cannot be released until the flash is ready. Press the shutter button down completely. ☞ The flash fires when photographing under low light conditions. ☞ The film advances to the next frame. ☞ The number shown in the exposure counter will increase by 1 with each frame exposed.
The operating range of the film (flash distance) will vary depending upon the film’s sensitivity (ISO speed). When using flash, keep your subject within the range of the effective flash illumination as indicated in the chart below. Effective flash range Film speed ISO 100 ISO 400 Wide angle (35 mm) 1.0 – 2.8 m 3.3 – 9.2 ft. 1.0 – 5.5 m 3.3 – 18.0 ft. Telephoto (60 mm) 1.6 – 2.0 m 5.2 – 6.6 ft. 1.6 – 3.4 m 5.2 – 11.2 ft.
Under certain unusual conditions, the camera’s autofocus system may not be able to function accurately. At these times, you should use the “Autofocus Lock” setting (→p.25).
1 2 USING THE AUTO-FOCUS LOCK In the composition shown at left, the AF frame is off the subject (in this case, the people). In this case the lens will not focus on the subject. Move the camera to position the AF frame over the subject.
3 4 With the AF frame positioned over the subject, press down the shutter release button halfway to set the auto-focus lock. ☞ Check that the AF/flash ready lamp (green) lights up. While holding the shutter release button halfway down to keep the Auto-Focus lock on, move the camera back to the original position to recompose your picture, then press the shutter release button all the way down. ∗ 26 The Auto-Focus lock operation can be repeated any number of times before the shutter trips.
1 UNLOADING THE FILM OR REMOVING FILM IN MID-ROLL To Unload the Film When the last frame in the film has been exposed, the film automatically rewinds into the film cassette which can then be removed for processing. ☞ While the film is being rewound, the lens cover automatically closes and “ ∗ 2 ” is displayed. Sometimes more photographs can be taken than the stated number of exposures, but the final frame may not be printed. When the motor stops, check that “ ” and “ ” are blinking on the display.
3 1 Slide the camera back lock in the direction indicated by the arrow. 2 Open the camera back in the direction indicated by the arrow. 2 1 4 28 ∗ Do not apply unnecessary force to the camera back. Remove the film.
Removing film in mid-roll Press the button using the special button pushing projection on the strap, etc. ☞ While the film is being rewound, the lens cover automatically closes and “ ” is displayed. ☞ When the film has been fully rewound, “ ” and “ ” blink on the display.

Film cannot be reused once it has been rewound.
◆ Do not open the camera back while there is a film in mid-roll in the camera. ☞ If the camera back is opened while there is a film in mid-roll in the camera, the film may be exposed to the light. ☞ The exposure counter is reset to “ ”. If the camera back is opened by mistake: 1 Close the camera back without removing the film. 2 While covering the lens with your hand, press the shutter a few times to feed some unexposed film. 3 The remaining frames can be used.
3. ADVANCED TECHNIQUES SELECTING THE EXPOSURE MODE Turn on the camera and each push of the MODE button changes the exposure mode in the following order: ☞ → ( ( ( ( ) Automatic flash for low light situations ) Red-eye reduction flash for more pleasing pictures of people ) Back light compensation flash mode ) Flash-off mode for natural light pictures ☞ → → → : Self-timer Mode (→p.35) • The selected exposure mode is maintained even after the photography has been completed.
( : no display) Automatic flash at low brightness mode Used for general photography. The flash lamp fires automatically when the brightness of the subject is lower than the predetermined level. ( ) Red-eye reduction flash mode Reduce red-eye. The red-eye reduction lamp turns on for about 0.7 second, then the camera takes a picture when the flash fires. 32 Once the red-eye reduction lamp has come on, the flash ready lamp will remain lit until the picture is taken.
Dealing with red-eye When you photograph a person in dim light using flash, the pupil of the eye will sometimes appear red. Under low light, the pupils of the eye dilate for better vision. Red-eye is caused by light from the flash entering the dilated pupils and being reflected back to the lens. Redeye reduction causes a preliminary flash to fire before the actual picture is taken. This causes the pupil to contract, reducing this reflection.
( ) Back light compensation flash mode Use this mode to avoid deep shadows when photographing against the light such as a person standing in front of a window or under a tree with a very bright background. This produces more natural looking flash photographs. Flash pictures taken even in a bright place. ( ) Flash off mode Used when taking pictures with normal room lighting being utilized, or taking pictures of remote subjects beyond the range of the flash, for example, in a theater or a stadium.
1 USING THE SELF-TIMER Push the MODE button with the power on to display “ ”. The self-timer mode is maintained even after the photography has been completed. It is automatically cancelled when the power is turned off. 2 1 Aim at the subject in the center of the framing area. 2 Press down the shutter release button. ☞ The camera focuses on the subject, and then the self-timer starts. When pressing the shutter release button, do not stand in front of the camera.
3 The shutter will operate after the self-timer lamp has completed a 10-second series of sequences-a sequence of slow blinking (approximately 7 seconds) followed by fast blinking (approximately 1.5 seconds) and a final lighting up (approximately 1.5 seconds). When you desire to cancel the self-timer mode after it has been started, press the shutter release button once more or turn the power off.

COMMON SENSE CAMERA CARE 1 Although your camera is designed for many years of service, it is a precision instrument and requires thoughtful handling. In particular, avoid exposing it to shock, moisture or physical abuse such as dropping it on the floor. 5 It is recommended that undeveloped film and cameras containing film be carried as hand luggage when flying. If included in checked-in baggage, X-ray inspections may cause overprinting or other effects.
