! The image will be blurred if the camera moves when
taking the picture (camera shake). When shooting in
low-light conditions, use the flash (
➡P.34) or a tripod to
prevent blurred images due to camera shake.

when the camera is switched off.
Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter
while the camera is switched on temporarily
interrupts the power supply to the camera, so that
images or movies being shot at the time are not
recorded. Failing to switch the camera off first can
also result in damage to the SmartMedia or
malfunctions during PC connection.

USING THE OPTIONAL AC POWER ADAPTER
AC power adapter (optional)
Always use a FUJIFILM AC Power Adapter AC-
3V (
➡P.65).
Use the AC power adapter in situations when a
loss of power will cause problems, such as
during file downloading (via the USB
connection). Using the AC power adapter also
allows you to take pictures and play back
images without worrying about depleting the
batteries.
Check that the camera is switched off. Plug the
AC power adapter connector into the “DC IN 3V”
socket and then plug the AC power adapter into
the power outlet.

Connecting the AC power adapter does not
allow you to charge the Ni-MH batteries. Use
the optional charger (
➡P.65) to charge the Ni-
MH batteries.
