Use two AA-size alkaline batteries or two AA-

size nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries. ◆Notes on Handling Batteries ◆ h It is recommended that you use the same brand of alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera. h Never use a battery when the outer casing is split or peeling as this could result in a short-circuit and cause major problems due to battery fluid leakage or overheating. h Do not use different types of batteries or old and new batteries together. h You cannot use lithium, manganese or nickel- cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries. h The operating lives of alkaline batteries vary between brands and the life of batteries you purchase may be shorter than the alkaline batteries provided with the camera. Note also that due to the nature of alkaline batteries, the time for which they can be used is shorter in cold locations (at temperatures of +10°C (+50°F) or below). Consequently, Ni-MH batteries are recommended. h Soiling (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of batteries can greatly reduce the time for which the batteries provide power. h You will need the optional charger (➡P.98) to recharge Ni-MH batteries. h See P.101 for notes on using batteries. 10 Nomenclature (Sample display) Macro Number of remaining shots Camera shake warning Battery low warning Battery low warning Quality mode EV White balance Flash Photography mode Zoom bar Date Protection DPOF Date Playback mode Playback frame number 1  1/ 1/2002  1/ 1/2002  1/ 1/2002  1/ 1/2002 100ー0001 100ー0001 2M・F 2M・F 1 Getting Ready LOADING THE BATTERIES AND xD-Picture Card xD-Picture Card (sold separately) DPC-16 (16MB) DPC-32 (32MB) DPC-64 (64MB) DPC-128 (128MB) ●!

This is a flash mode that uses a slow shutter

speed. This allows you to take pictures of people at night that clearly show both your subjects and the night time backdrop. v Slow Synchro ●! The image may be overexposed when you shoot bright scenes. ●! Because a slow shutter speed is used, a tripod should be used to prevent camera shake. b Suppressed Flash Use this mode for photography using indoor lighting, for shots taken through glass, and for photography in venues such as theaters or at indoor sporting events where the distance is too great for the flash to be effective. When you use Suppressed Flash, the Automatic White Balance function (➡P.111) operates so that natural colors are captured along with the ambience of the available light. ●! If you are shooting in Suppressed Flash mode in dark conditions, use a tripod to prevent camera shake. ●! See P.106 for information on the camera shake warning. c FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY MENU n Red-Eye Reduction Use this mode to ensure that the subject’s eyes appear natural when photographing people in low-light conditions. The flash fires automatically as required by the photography conditions. The flash fires a pre-flash just before the picture is taken and then fires again to take the actual picture. c Forced Flash Use this mode to photograph backlit scenes, such as a subject against a window or in the shade of a tree, or to obtain the correct colors when you are shooting under lighting such as fluorescent tubes. In this mode, the flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions. ●! You cannot use this setting in Macro (close-up) photography. ◆Red-Eye Effect ◆ When you use the flash to photograph people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes appear red in the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye. Use Red-Eye Reduction flash to effectively minimize the likelihood of the red-eye effect. Take the following measures also to make Red-Eye Reduction more effective: ●Get the subjects to look at the camera. ●Get as close as possible to the subjects.

The self-timer lamp lights steadily for

approximately 5 seconds, blinks for another approximately 5 seconds and then takes the shot. The LCD monitor counts down the time until the shot is taken. Self-timer mode is automatically cancelled after each shot. ●! To stop the self-timer once it has started running, press the “BACK” button. = SELF-TIMER PHOTOGRAPHY PHOTOGRAPHY MENU In this mode, a timer runs for roughly 10 seconds before the shutter is released. Use this mode for shots such as photographs of yourself. Locate the subject in the LCD monitor or viewfinder and frame the shot. Then press the shutter button to start the self-timer. ●! Do not stand in front of the camera when you press the shutter button as this will result in an incorrect brightness (exposure) setting for the shot. ●!

h AA-size alkaline, Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) can be used

with this camera. Do not use AA-size manganese, lithium or nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries in your FinePix camera because the heat generated by the batteries could damage the camera or cause malfunctions. h The operating lives of alkaline batteries vary between brands and the life of batteries you purchase may be shorter than the alkaline batteries provided with the camera. h Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small children. h When loading the batteries into the camera, ensure that the battery polarity (+ and _ ) is as indicated on the camera. h Do not use new batteries together with used batteries. In the case of rechargeable batteries, do not use charged and discharged batteries together. Do not use batteries of different types or brands together. h If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the camera. (Note that if the camera is left with the batteries removed, the time and date settings are cleared.) h The batteries may feel warm immediately after being used. Before removing the batteries, switch the camera off and wait until the batteries cool down. h When replacing the batteries, always fit 2 new batteries. Here, “new batteries” refers to either recently purchased unused alkaline batteries, or Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride) batteries that have recently been fully recharged together. h In cold locations (at temperatures of +10°C/+50°F or below), battery performance deteriorates and the time for which they can be used shortens markedly. This is particularly true of alkaline batteries. In cold conditions, put the batteries in your pocket or a similar place to warm them before loading them into the camera. If you use a body warmer to warm the batteries, ensure that they are not in direct contact with the warmer. h Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals can markedly reduce the number of available shots. Carefully wipe the battery terminals clean with a soft dry cloth before loading the batteries. Applicable Batteries Notes on the Power Supply Incorrect use of the batteries could cause them to leak, become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the precautions given below. h Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire. h Do not carry or store a batteries with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins that could come into contact with the metal positive + and negative _ poles of the batteries. h Do not expose the batteries to fresh or sea water, and take particular care to keep the terminals dry. h Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the batteries. h Do not attempt to peel off or cut the batteries casing. h Do not drop, strike or otherwise subject the batteries to strong impacts. h Do not use batteries that are leaking, deformed, discolored or exhibit any other obvious abnormality. h Do not store batteries in very warm or moist locations. Notes on the Batteries Notes on Using Your Camera Correctly ■ Places to Avoid Do not store or use the camera in the following types of locations: h In the rain or in very humid, dirty or dusty places. h In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme temperature rises, such as in a closed car in summer. h Extremely cold places. h Places subject to strong vibration. h Places affected by smoke or steam. h Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as near motors, transformers or magnets). h In contact with chemicals such as pesticides or next to rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time. ■ Notes on Immersion in Water or Sand The FinePix A202 is particularly adversely affected by water and sand. When you are at the beach or close to water, ensure that the camera is not exposed to water or sand. Take care also not to place the camera on a wet surface. Water or sand inside the camera can cause faults that may be irreparable. ■ Notes on Condensation If the camera is carried suddenly from a cold location into a warm place, water droplets (condensation) may form on the inside of the camera or on the lens. When this occurs, switch the camera off and wait an hour before using the camera. Condensation may also form on the xD-Picture card. In this event, remove the xD-Picture Card and wait a short time before using it again. ■ When the Camera is Unused for Long Periods If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the batteries and the xD-Picture Card before storing the camera. ■ Cleaning Your Camera h Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens, LCD monitor screen or viewfinder and then wipe lightly with a soft, dry cloth. If any soil remains, apply a small amount of lens cleaning liquid to a piece of FUJIFILM lens cleaning paper and wipe gently. h Do not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces are easily damaged. h Clean the body of the camera with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use volatile substances such as thinners, benzine or insecticide, as these may react with camera body and cause deformation or remove the coating. ■ Using the Camera Overseas When travelling overseas, do not place your camera in the check-in baggage. Baggage handling at airports may subject baggage to violent shocks, and the camera may be damaged internally even when no external damage is visible. eBe sure to read this information in conjunction with “Safety Notes” (➡P.114), to ensure that you use your camera correctly.

Use only the AC-3V AC Power Adapter (sold separately)

with your FinePix A202 Digital Camera. The use of other AC power adapters may result in damage to your camera. h This AC power adapter is designed exclusively for indoor use. h Plug the connection cord plug securely into the DC input terminal of the FUJIFILM Digital camera. h Turn off the power switch of the FUJIFILM Digital camera before disconnecting the connection cord from the FUJIFILM Digital camera’s DC input terminal. To disconnect, take hold of the plug and pull it out (do not disconnect it by pulling on the cord). h Do not use this AC power adapter with any device except the specified device. h During use, this AC power adapter will become hot to touch, but this is normal. h Do not disassemble the AC power adapter. Doing so could be dangerous. h Do not use this device in a place with high temperature and high humidity. h Do not drop or subject this device to strong shocks. h This device may emit a humming noise, but this is normal. h If used near a radio, this device may cause static, so play the radio in a distant place. AC Power Adapter If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe the battery compartment thoroughly and then load new batteries. If any battery fluid comes into contact with your hands or clothing, flush the area thoroughly with water. Note that battery fluid can cause loss of eyesight if it gets into your eyes. If this occurs, do not rub your eyes. Flush the fluid out with clean water and contact your physician for treatment. ■Disposing of Batteries When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations. ■Notes on Small Rechargeable Batteries (Ni-MH batteries) h Always use the special battery charger to charge AA-size Ni-MH batteries. Charge the batteries as described in the instructions provided with the battery charger. h Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries other than those specified for use with the charger. h Note that the batteries may feel warm immediately after being charged. h Ni-MH batteries are not charged at shipment. Be sure to charge the batteries before using them. h The camera mechanism is such that it draws a minute amount of current even when the camera is switched off. Take particular care not to leave Ni-MH batteries in the camera for a long period of time as they can become excessively discharged and may no longer be usable even when charged. h Ni-MH batteries self-discharge even when not used. Always charge Ni-MH batteries before using them. If the time for which a battery provides power shortens markedly when it has been correctly charged, this indicates that the battery has reached the end of its effective life and should be replaced. h Soil (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of Ni-MH batteries can greatly reduce the number of available shots. When this occurs, clean the terminals carefully with a soft dry cloth. Then use up the remaining charge in the batteries and recharge them. h Newly purchased batteries or batteries that have been left unused for an extended period may not be fully charged. (This is indicated by the immediate display of the battery low warning or a low number of available shots.) This is a normal characteristic of the batteries and does not indicate a fault. Repeatedly charging and using the batteries 3 or 4 times will restore them to a normal condition. h If you repeatedly charge a Ni-MH batteries before it is fully discharged, it will suffer from the “memory effect” ✽, causing the battery low warning to appear while there is still ample charge remaining in the battery. To restore the batteries to their normal condition, use up all the charge in the batteries before recharging them. ✽Memory effect: A phenomenon affecting the battery characteristics such that the apparent battery capacity decreases. Notes on the Power Supply

when images are being played back. These actions

could result in damage to the xD-Picture Card. h The use of xD-Picture Cards is recommended with the FinePix A202. The camera quality cannot be guaranteed when 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 extended periods of picture taking or image viewing. This is normal and does not indicate a fault. h Do not affix labels to the xD-Picture Card. This could result in the label peeling off and causing a fault when the card is inserted or removed. ■Notes on Using xD-Picture Card with a PC h If you intend to take photos using an xD-Picture Card that has been used on a PC, format the xD-Picture Card on your camera. h When you format an xD-Picture Card in the camera and then shoot and record images, a directory (folder) is automatically created. Image data is then recorded in this directory. h Do not change or delete the directory (folder) names or file names on the xD-Picture Card from your PC as 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’s hard disk and then edit the copied data. h Do not copy files other than those that will be used by the camera. ■Specifications Type Image memory card for digital cameras (xD-Picture Card) Memory type NAND-type flash memory Conditions for use Temperature: 0°C to +40°C (+32°F to +104°F) Humidity: 80% max. (no condensation) Dimensions 25 mm × 2.2 mm × 20 mm (0.98 in. × 0.09 in. × 0.79 in.) (W × H × D) ■Image Memory Card h 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 re- recording of new image data. h When using a new Memory Card, or a Memory Card that has been initialized by a PC, be sure to initialize (format/initialize) the card with your digital camera before using it. ■Protecting Your Data h Data 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 We recommend saving your important data to another media (i.e., MO disk, CD-R, hard disk, etc.). ■Notes on Handling xD-Picture Card h Keep xD-Picture Cards out of the reach of small children. When storing xD-Picture Cards, ensure that they are kept in a location out of the reach of small children to prevent a card being accidentally swallowed. An xD-Picture Card could cause suffocation if accidentally swallowed. If a child swallows an xD- Picture Card, seek medical advice immediately. h Make sure that the memory card is straight when you insert into the camera etc. h The memory card is a precision electronic instrument. Do not apply pressure or shock, and avoid bending. h Do not use the memory card in a hot, humid, or corrosive environment. h If the contact area on the card is soiled (dust, fingerprints, etc.), wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth. h Clean the memory card with a soft dry piece of cloth when dirty. h When you carry or store it, always keep the card in the anti-static case provided. Use a storage case if available. h The memory card can be used reliably for a long period of time, but will eventually lose its ability to store and play back image data. At this point, replace with a new memory card. h Never remove the xD-Picture Card or switch the camera off during data recording, during data erasing (xD-Picture Card formatting) or during frame advance Notes on the xD-Picture Card

Explanation of Terms

DPOF: Digital Print Order Format DPOF is a format used for recording information on a storage media (image memory card, etc.) that allows you to specify which of the frames shot using a digital camera are printed and how many prints are made of each image. EV: A number that denotes exposure. The EV is determined by the brightness of the subject and sensitivity (speed) of the film or CCD. The number is larger for bright subjects and smaller for dark subjects. As the brightness of the subject changes, a digital camera maintains the amount of light hitting the CCD at a constant level by adjusting the aperture and shutter speed. When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles, the EV increases by 1. Likewise, when the light is halved, the EV decreases by 1. JPEG: Joint Photographics Experts Group A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The compression ratio can be selected, but the higher the compression ratio, the poorer the quality of the expanded image. Motion JPEG: A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format that handles images and sound as a single file. Images in the file are recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG can be played back by QuickTime 3.0 or later. PC Card: A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card Standard. PC Card Standard: A standard for PC cards determined by the PCMCIA. PCMCIA: Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (US). White Balance: Whatever the kind of the light, the human eye adapts to it so that a white object still looks white. On the other hand, devices such as digital cameras see a white subject as white by first adjusting the color balance to suit the color of the ambient light around the subject. This adjustment is called matching the white balance. A function that automatically matches the white balance is called an Automatic White Balance function. Troubleshooting Possible causes Solutions Nothing happens when I use the Mode switch. i Camera malfunction. i The battery exhausted. i Briefly remove the batteries or disconnect the AC power adapter. Then reload the batteries or reconnect the AC power adapter and try again. i Purchase new batteries.
