Power Save Function
◆
If the camera is not used for 2 minutes, this function automatically switches the camera off. When this
function is active, it also switches off the LCD monitor to reduce power consumption if the camera is not
used for 30 seconds (see P.47 for details). If the camera is then left unused for a further period (for 90
seconds), the Power Save function automatically switches the camera off. To switch the camera back
on, slide the “POWER” switch to the side to turn the camera off briefly and then turn it back on.
◆
Checking the remaining battery charge
◆
●
!
The information above is an approximate guide for photography mode. Depending on the camera mode and the type
of batteries used, the transition from “
C” to “V” may occur more quickly.
●
!
When the batteries run out, “V” is displayed and camera operation automatically stops. When this occurs, the
camera may work if you switch it on again even without loading new or fully charged batteries. However, this may
cause camera faults such as the camera switching itself off without retracting the lens. Always load new or fully
charged batteries.
●
!
Due to the nature of the battery, the battery low warning may appear early when the camera is used in cold locations.
This is normal and does not indicate a fault. Try warming the batteries in your pocket or a similar location before use.
“C” is displayed as a small icon on the right-hand
side of the LCD monitor. “
V” appears as a large
icon on the LCD monitor.
３３ ３３

Switch the camera on and check that no battery level warning (C or V) is displayed on the LCD
monitor. If no icon is displayed, there is ample charge left in the batteries.
1 There is ample remaining battery charge.
2 The battery charge is low. Have a new set of
batteries ready.
3 The batteries run out. The display will shortly go
blank and the camera will stop working. Replace
or recharge the batteries.

Compatible batteries
h AA-size alkaline batteries (2), Rechargeable Battery NH-10 (sold separately), or AA-size Ni-MH
batteries (sold separately) (2).
●
!
Please use the same brand AA-size alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera.
◆
How to use the batteries
◆
h Never use the following types of batteries, as this could cause serious
problems such as batteries 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
h Do not use manganese or Ni-Cd batteries.
h Soil, such as fingermarks, on the poles of the batteries can significantly
reduce the amount of time for which the batteries can be used.
h The time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referred to hereafter simply as alkaline batteries) can
be used varies depending on the brand, and some 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). The use of AA-size Ni-
MH batteries is recommended for this reason.
h Cradle can be used in combination with camera and to charge rechargeable Battery NH-10 (sold
separately). Use Fujifilm Battery charger (sold separately) to charge AA-size Ni-MH batteries.
h See P.68, 69 for other notes on using batteries.
h When first purchased or if left unused for a log period, the time for which AA-size Ni-MH
batteries or rechargeable Battery NH-10 can be used may be shorter. See P. 69 for details.

In a shot with this type of composition, the subjects
(two people in this case) are not in the AF frame. If
the shot is taken at this point, the subjects will not
be in focus.
Move the camera slightly so that one of the
subjects is in the AF frame.
Without moving the camera, press the Shutter
button down halfway (AF/AE lock). Focusing is
complete when the AF frame on the LCD monitor
shrinks and the viewfinder lamp (green) stops
blinking and remains lit.
Continue to hold the Shutter button down halfway
(AF/AE lock). Move the camera back to the original
image and then fully press down on the Shutter
button.

button down halfway to refocus the shot.
●
!
The digital zoom can only be used for shots taken using the
LCD monitor.

This camera features 5 levels of zoom magnification.
However, due to the lens performance characteristics, the
intervals between the 5 levels are not equal. Note also that
the zoom speed varies slightly close to the maximum
telephoto setting.
BEST FRAMING

Guideline”.
The LCD monitor display changes each time you
press the “DISP” button. Press the “DISP” button
until “Framing Guideline” appears.
Use this frame with main subject positioned at the intersection of
two lines or align one of the horizontal lines with the horizon.
This frame allows you to compose your own shots while
remaining aware of the subject's size and the balance of the shot.
●
!
The framing guideline is not recorded on the image.

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
frames. Carefully wipe the battery terminals clean
with a soft dry cloth before loading the batteries.
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 Using Your Camera Correctly
Notes on the Power Supply
e Be sure to read this information in conjunction with “Safety Notes” (➡P.81), to ensure that you
use 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 A205/FinePix A210 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 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.
Applicable Batteries
h In the camera, use AA-size alkaline or nickel-metal
hydride batteries and the rechargeable battery NH-10.
Do not use AA-size manganese or nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cd) batteries in your FinePix A205/FinePix A210
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.
Notes on the Batteries
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 batteries with metal objects
such as necklaces or hairpins that could come into
contact with the metal positive
≠ and negative –
poles of the battery.
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 battery outer
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.
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 a new battery together with a used
battery. 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” denotes newly purchased
unused alkaline batteries or a pair of fully charged
AA-size Ni-MH batteries that were charged at the
same time.
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.
Use only the AC-3V AC Power Adapter (sold
separately) or the AC-3VW AC Power Adapter
(Bundled with PictureCradle sold separately). The use
of other AC power adapters may result in damage to
your camera.
h The AC-3V cannot be used to charge the NH-10
Rechargeable Battery.
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 the 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
h When used as a power source for a digital camera,
AA-size Ni-MH batteries and the Rechargeable
Battery NH-10 (referred to hereafter as Ni-MH
batteries) are superior to alkaline batteries in that
they allow more shots to be taken. However, to
retain the original performance characteristics of Ni-
MH batteries, care must be taken in the way they
are used.
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.70
for the procedure for “Discharging rechargeable
batteries”
Do not use the “Discharging rechargeable
batteries” function when alkaline batteries are
being used.
h Always use the special battery charger (sold
separately) 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 (sold separately) to
charge batteries other than those specified for use
with the charger.
h Note that the batteries may feel warm immediately
after being charged.
Notes on Using AA-size Ni-MH Batteries and
the Rechargeable Battery NH-10 Correctly
h The camera mechanism is such that it draws a
minute amount of current even when the camera is
switched off. Note particularly that AA-size Ni-MH
batteries and the Rechargeable Battery NH-10 will
become discharged if left in the camera for a long
period and may become unusable even when
recharged.
h Even when not used, AA-size Ni-MH batteries and
the Rechargeable Battery NH-10 will naturally self-
discharge so that the time for which they can be
used is shortened.
h The rechargeable battery NH-10 can be charged by
setting the camera in the PictureCradle CP-FXA10
(sold separately).
h AA-size Ni-MH batteries cannot be charged using a
combination of the camera and the cradle.
h Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if
overdischarged (eg. 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.

Notes on the xD-Picture Card™
■ 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 xD-Picture Cards should be kept in their special
cases or carrying cases when being stored or
carried around.
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 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 A205/FinePix A210.
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.

Explanation of Terms
Deactivated batteries:
Leaving an Ni-MH battery unused in storage for a long period may cause a rise in the level of substances that
inhibit current flow inside the battery and result in a dormant battery. A battery in this state is referred to as
deactivated.
Because current flow is inhibited in a deactivated Ni-MH battery, the battery's original level of performance cannot
be achieved.
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 Value. 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.
Frame rate (fps):
The frame rate is a unit used to indicate the number of images (frames) played back per second. This camera
shoots movie files at 10 consecutive frames per second, a rate that is expressed as 10 fps. By comparison, TV
images are played at 30 fps.
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.
Memory effect:
If an Ni-MH battery is repeatedly charged without first being fully discharged, its performance may drop below its
original level. This is referred to as the “memory effect”.
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.
Exif Print Format is a newly revised digital camera file format that contains a variety of shooting information for
optimal printing.
