of the strap, check carefully to make sure

that the strap is firmly secured.

2Attach the lens cap cord to the lens cap.

3Pull the lens cap cord through the strap.

Attaching the Strap and Lens Cap

Attaching the lens cap

Attach the lens cap to the lens by pressing in

on both sides of the cap.

19

Getting Ready

Loading the Batteries

Batteries are required to operate the digital camera. At

first, load the batteries in the camera.

Compatible batteries

AA-size alkaline batteries (4) or AA-size Ni-MH

rechargeable batteries (4) (sold separately)

CAUTION

• Never use the following types of

batteries, as they could cause

serious problems such as battery

fluid leakage or overheating:

1. Batteries with split or peeling

outer casings

2. Combinations of different

types of batteries or new and used batteries together

• Do not use manganese, Ni-Cd or lithium batteries.

• Use the same brand and grade AA-size alkaline

batteries as those supplied with the camera.

1While pressing the cover lock release

button, slide and open the battery cover.

CHECK

Check that the camera is turned off before opening the

battery cover.

CAUTION

• Do not open the battery cover while the camera is on.

This could damage the Memory Card or ruin the image

files on the Memory Card.

• Do not apply force to the battery cover.

Continued Q

Outer casing

20

Loading the Batteries

2Load the batteries correctly as indicated by

the polarity icons.

CAUTION

Match the polarity icons (+ and ,) of the batteries to

those on the inside of the battery cover.

3Press on the battery cover to push the

batteries down. Slide the cover closed.

21

Getting Ready

Checking the battery charge

Turn the camera on and check the battery charge.

AThere is ample battery charge. (Not displayed)

BThere is insufficient charge left in the batteries. The

batteries will soon run out. Have a new set of batteries

ready. (Lit red)

CThe batteries are depleted. The display will shortly go

blank and the camera will stop working. Replace or

recharge the batteries. (Blinking red)

Notes on batteries

• Soil, such as fingermarks on the poles of the batteries,

can shorten time for which the batteries can be used.

• The time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referred

to hereafter simply as alkaline batteries) can be used

varies depending on the brand. Some brands of alkaline

batteries may stop providing power more quickly than

those supplied with the camera. Note also that due to

their nature, the time for which alkaline batteries can be

used decreases in cold conditions (0°C to +10°C/+32°F

to +50°F). For this reason, it is better to use AA-size Ni-

MH batteries.

• Due to the nature of the battery, the battery level

warning ( , ) may appear early when the V

camera is used in cold locations. Try warming the

batteries in your pocket or a similar location before use.

• Depending on the battery type and the level of charge

in the batteries, the camera may run out of power

without first displaying a battery level warning. This is

particularly likely to happen when batteries that have

run out of charge once are re-used.

• Depending on the camera mode, the transition from

to V may occur more quickly.

• Use Fujifilm Battery charger (sold separately) to charge

AA-size Ni-MH batteries.

• See p.144-145 for information on the batteries.

• When first purchased or if left unused for a long period,

the amount of time which AA-size Ni-MH batteries can

be used may be short. See p.145 for more information.

• Battery power consumption varies greatly depending

on use. When you change to Playback mode from

Photography mode, may not occur, however,

V may suddenly blink red and the camera may stop

operation.

22

Loading the Memory Card

Although you can store pictures in the camera’s internal

memory, you can store many more images on the

Memory Card (sold separately). You can use the xD-

Picture Card and the SD Memory Card with the FinePix

locks the focus and exposure settings (AF and AE lock).

Subjects not suitable for autofocus

FinePix S5700 / FinePix S700 / FinePix S5800 / FinePix S800

uses a high-precision autofocusing mechanism. However, it

may have difficulty focusing on the following:

• Subjects photographed through glass

• Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair or fur

• Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or flames

• Dark subjects

• Subjects with little or no contrast between the subject and

the background (such as subjects dressed in the same color

as the background)

• Shots where another high-contrast object (not the subject) is

close to the AF frame and is either closer or further away

than your subject (such as a shot of someone against a

background with strongly contrasting elements)

For such subjects use AF/AE lock (➝p.34) or “MF” Manual

focus mode ( p.86).➝

conditions.

When pressing the shutter button down halfway, the

camera fires the AF-assist illuminator (orange) while

focusing on your subject.

MEMO

at a distance of around 2.4 m (7.9 ft.) with wide-angle or

telephoto.

• Even though there is no danger to safety, do not expose

it directly in someone’s eyes.

• When using the AF-assist illuminator in Macro mode,

the camera may have difficulty focusing to take close-

up shots.

• See p.113 for information on turning the AF-assist

illuminator off.

• AF-assist illuminator does not fire in , ., , , ,
