DC IN 5V socket
Check that the camera is switched off. Plug the
AC power adapter connector into the DC IN 5V
socket on the camera and then plug the adapter
itself into the main power outlet.
The self-timer lamp lights red and battery
charging begins. When charging is completed,
the self-timer lamp switches off.
A fully discharged battery takes roughly 5 hours
to fully recharge (at an ambient temperature of
+21°C to +25°C (+70°F to +77°F)).
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.

Use only the FUJIFILM products listed above.
● ! See P.116 for notes on using the AC power adapter.
●
! Only connect or disconnect the AC power adapter 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.

! If the self-timer lamp flashes during charging, a charging
error has occurred and the battery cannot be charged. If
this occurs, see P.122.

You can charge the battery more quickly by using the
BC-60 Battery Charger (sold separately) (

lens extends. Take care not to press on
these precision components as this could
result in a fault or a “

fingermarks on the lens as this will degrade
the picture quality.
