FinePix A400/FinePix A500 are compatible with Type M, however they may not be compatible depending on the device used (Image Memory Card Reader, etc.).
• Image Memory Card Reader DPC-R1 The DPC-R1 provides a quick and easy way to transfer images back and forth between your PC and an image memory card (xD-Picture Card and SmartMedia). The DPC-R1 uses the USB interface for highspeed file transfer. -Compatible with Windows 98/98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP or iMac, Mac OS 8.6 to 9.2.2, Mac OS X (10.1.2 to 10.2.2) and models that support USB as standard. -Compatible with xD-Picture Card of 16 MB to 512 MB, and SmartMedia of 3.
Using Your Camera Correctly Read this information and the “Safety Notes” (➝p.128), to make sure you use your camera correctly.
Power Supply and Batteries Applicable Batteries • In the camera, use AA-size alkaline or Ni-MH (nickelmetal hydride) rechargeable batteries. Do not use AA-size manganese or nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries in your FinePix A400 / FinePix A500 because the heat created by the batteries could damage the camera or cause it not to work. • The life of alkaline batteries varies between brands. The life of batteries you purchase may be shorter than those provided with the camera.
Power Supply and Batteries Using the AA-size Ni-MH batteries correctly • As a power source in digital cameras, AA-size Ni-MH batteries (referred to hereafter as 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”.
AC Power Adapter Discharging rechargeable batteries 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.

Notes on the xD-Picture Card™ and the Internal Memory Z Image Memory Card • This Image Memory Card is a new image recording media (xD-Picture Card) developed for digital cameras. The Image Memory Card consists of a semiconductor memory (NAND-type flash memory) to record digital image data. The recording process is electrically performed and enables erasure of existing image data as well as rerecording of new image data.
Notes on the xD-Picture Card™ and the Internal Memory • The xD-Picture Card may feel warm when it is removed from the camera after taking pictures. This is normal. • Do not put labels on the xD-Picture Card. Peeling labels can cause the camera not to work properly. There are two types of xD-Picture Card: standard type and Type M (containing “M” in the model number, such as DPC-M1GB).

Specifications * These specifications are subject to change without notice. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting from errors in this Owner’s Manual. * The LCD monitor on your digital camera is manufactured using advanced high-precision technology. Even so, small bright points and anomalous colors (particularly around text) may appear on the monitor. These are normal display characteristics and do not indicate a fault with the monitor.
If you shoot using the xD-Picture Cards with model numbers containing “M” such as DPC- M1GB, movie recording time may be reduced if you repeatedly record and erase (frame erase) image files. In such a case, erase all frames or format the picture card before use. Back up important frames (files) onto your PC or another media. * These specifications are subject to change without notice. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting from errors in this Owner’s Manual.
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.

Safety Notes • Make sure that you use your FinePix A400 / FinePix A500 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 xD-Picture Cards out of the reach of small children. Because xD-Picture Cards are small, they can be swallowed by children. Be sure to store xD-Picture Cards out of the reach of small children. If a child swallows an xD-Picture 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.
