Power Supply and Batteries
Always use the AC Power Adapter AC-3VX (sold
separately). The use of an AC power adapter other
than AC-3VX can be damaged to your digital camera.
h Use the AC power adapter for indoor use only.
h Plug the connection cord plug securely into the DC
input terminal of the FUJIFILM Digital camera.
h Turn off the FUJIFILM Digital camera before
disconnecting the cord from the FUJIFILM Digital
camera’s DC input terminal. To disconnect, pull out
the plug gently. Do not pull on the cord.
h Do not use the AC power adapter with any device
other than your camera.
h During use, the AC power adapter will become hot
to the touch. This is normal.
h Do not take apart the AC power adapter. Doing so
could be dangerous.
h Do not use the AC power adapter in a hot and
humid place.
h Do not subject the AC power adapter to strong
shocks.
h The AC power adapter may emit a humming. This is
normal.
h If used near a radio, the AC power adapter may
cause static. If this happens, move the camera away
from the radio.

Consult your travel agent for details.
h Ni-MH batteries or the battery charger itself will
become warm due to the power stored inside the
batteries. This is normal and does not indicate a
fault. Wherever possible, use the battery charger in
a well-ventilated location.
Notes on Using the Battery Charger
Notes on the xD-Picture Card™
■ Image Memory Card
h T h i s I m a g e M e m o r y C a r d i s a n e w i m a g e
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 re-recording of new image data.
h When using a new Memory Card, or a Memory
Card that has been formatted by a PC, be sure
t o f o r m a t t h e c a r d w i t h y o u r d i g i t a l c a m e r a
before using it.
■ Protecting Your Data
h Images and movies may be lost or destroyed in the
following situations. Please note that FUJIFILM
assumes no responsibility for data that is lost or
destroyed.
1. Removal of the memory card or turning the power
off while the memory card is being accessed (i.e.,
during record, erase, initialization, and playback
operations).
2. Improper handling and use of the memory card by
the user or third party.
h Save your important data to another media (i.e., MO
disk, CD-R, hard disk, etc.).
■ Handling xD-Picture Card
h When storing xD-Picture Cards, make sure that
they are kept out of the reach of children. An xD-
Picture Card could be swallowed cause suffocation.
If a child swallows an xD-Picture Card, seek
medical attention or call emergency number right
away.
h When inserting the xD-Picture Card into the
camera, hold the xD-Picture Card straight as you
push it in.
h Do not expose an xD-Picture Card to shock. Do not
apply pressure, and avoid bending.
h Do not use or store xD-Picture Card in hot and
humid places.
h Clean the xD-Picture Card with a soft dry piece of
cloth when dirty.
h When carrying or storing an xD-Picture Card, keep
it in the special protective case.
h The xD-Picture Card will work well for long time, but
will sooner or later lose its ability to store and play
back images or movies. If this happens replace it
with a new xD-Picture Card.
h Never remove the xD-Picture Card or turn the
camera off during data recording or erasing (xD-
Picture Card formatting) as this could be damaged
to the xD-Picture Card.
h The use of xD-Picture Cards is recommended with
the FinePix E900.
The recording quality cannot be guaranteed when
xD-Picture Cards other than those manufactured by
FUJIFILM are used.
h The xD-Picture Card may feel warm when it is
removed from the camera after taking pictures. This
is normal.
h Do not put labels on the xD-Picture Card. Peeling
labels can cause the camera not to work properly.
■ Using xD-Picture Card with a PC
h When taking pictures using an xD-Picture Card that
has been used on a PC, reformat the xD-Picture
Card using your camera for best quality.
h When formatting an xD-Picture Card, a directory
(folder) is created. Image data is then recorded in
this directory.
h Do not change or delete the directory (folder) or file
names on the xD-Picture Card because this will
make it impossible to use the xD-Picture Card in
your camera.
h Always use the camera to erase image data on an
xD-Picture Card.
h To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC
and edit the copy.

h 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.
h Ni-MH batteries left unused in storage for long
periods can become “deactivated”. Also, repeatedly
charging Ni-MH batteries that are only partially
discharged can cause them to suffer from the
“memory effect”.
Ni-MH batteries that are “deactivated” or affected by
“memory” suffer from the problem of only providing
power for a short time after being charged. To
prevent this problem, discharge and recharge them
several times using the camera’s “Discharging
rechargeable batteries” function. By repeating this
cycle several times, the temporary reduction in
performance caused by “memory” or “deactivation”
can be remedied and the batteries can be restored
to their original performance levels.
Deactivation and memory are specific to Ni-MH
batteries and are not in fact battery faults. See P.18
for the procedure for “Discharging rechargeable
batteries”.
Do not use the “Discharging rechargeable
batteries” function when alkaline batteries being
used.
h To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the Battery Charger
BC-NH02 (included). Refer to P.10 to make sure
that the charger is used correctly.
h Do not use the battery charger to charge other
batteries.
h Note that the batteries feel warm after being
charged.
h Due to the way the camera is constructed, a small
amount of current is used even when the camera is
turned off. Note in particular that leaving Ni-MH
batteries in the camera for a long period will
overdischarge the batteries and may render them
unusable even after recharging.
h Ni-MH batteries will self-discharge even when not
used, and the time for which they can be used may
be shortened as a result.
h Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if
overdischarged (e.g. by discharging the batteries in
a flashlight). Use the “Discharging rechargeable
batteries” function provided in the camera to
discharge the batteries.
h Ni-MH batteries have a limited service life. If a
battery can only be used for a short time even after
repeated discharge-charge cycles, it may have
reached the end of its service life.
