FOCUSING (DISTANCE) 

The distance from the subject to the camera is referred to as the shooting distance. 

When the shooting distance is set correctly and the image appears sharp, the image is focused. 

■ Two Focusing Methods: AF and MF. 

The mechanisms for focusing are AF (Autofocus) and MF (Manual focus). 

AF: In this mode, the camera automatically focuses on the subject in the AF frame. The camera 

focuses when the shutter button is pressed down halfway. 

MF: The focus is set manually. See P.48 for details. 

■ Causes of focusing errors and the solutions 

Cause Solution 

The subject is not in the AF frame. Use AF lock ✽1 or MF. 

The subject is not suited to AF. Use AF lock ✽1 or MF. 

The subject is outside the shooting range. Turn Macro mode on or off ✽2. 

The subject is moving too quickly. Use MF (pre-setting the shooting distance for a shot )

subject and the background (such as white 

walls or subjects dressed in the same color as 

the background) 

h 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) 


EXPOSURE (SHUTTER SPEED AND APERTURE) 

Exposure refers to the light that hits the CCD or the total amount of captured light and determines 

the brightness of the image. 

The exposure is determined by the combination of aperture and shutter speed. In AE (automatic 

exposure), the camera determines the correct exposure, allowing for factors such as the brightness 

of the subject and the sensitivity setting. 

Closed (Aperture) 

Open 

Slow (Shutter speed) Fast 

◆ When you cannot get the correct exposure ◆ 

Exposure compensation: 

This function uses the exposure level set by the AE 

function as a reference (0) and then brightens (+) or 

darkens (–) the image. 

Shutter speed 

When shooting a moving subject, you can either “freeze the motion” or “capture the sense of 

movement” by adjusting the shutter speed. 

Freezes the motion of the 

Fast subject. 

Slow 

Aperture 

By adjusting the aperture, you can change the depth of focus (depth of field). 

Closed 

The area in front of and 

behind the subject is also 

in focus in the shot. 

Open

The graph at left shows the way the aperture and shutter speed settings can 

be changed while maintaining the same exposure level. 

h When the aperture is decreased by one step, the shutter speed also 

decreases by one step (the dot moves upper left). 

h When the aperture is increased by one step, the shutter speed also 

increases by one step (the dot moves lower right). 

h Combinations that result in the shutter speed or aperture being outside the 

available range of settings cannot be selected (white dots).

TAKING PICTURES — SELECTING THE CAMERA SETTINGS 

Consider the scene you are photographing and the sort of image you want to 

achieve when you specify the camera settings. A general guide is given below. 

1 Select the Photography mode (➡P.32-36, 64, 65). 

B 

Specifies all settings other than Quality, Sensitivity and FinePix COLOR 

on the camera. 

m/,/.// Selects the best Scene position setting for the scene being shot. 

N/M/< Changes the aperture or shutter speed setting so that the action is 

frozen, the flow of the motion is conveyed, or the background is out of 

focus. 

> Adjust all the camera settings yourself. 

r Record a movie. 

2 Specify the photography settings (➡P.37-41). 

e Macro/¤ Super macro Use for close-up shots. 

d Flash Use for shots in dark locations or for backlit subjects, 

etc. 

D Exposure compensation Use the AE exposure as a reference value of 0. This 

function brightens (+) or darkens (–) the shot. 

3 Take the pictures (check the exposure and focus ➡ adjust 

the shot composition ➡ press the shutter button down fully). 

★ You can use the menus for more detailed settings (➡P.42-49, 66). 

The table below provides a number of sample settings. Use the settings effectively. 

To achieve this result Sample settings

Use this mode for ordinary photography. The flash fires as 

required by the shooting conditions. 

●! If pressing the shutter button while the flash is charging, the picture will 

be taken without the flash. 

b Red-eye reduction 

Use this mode to make sure that the subject’s eyes appear 

normal when taking pictures of people in low-light 

conditions. The flash fires a pre-flash just before the picture 

is taken and then fires again to take the actual picture. The 

flash fires as required by the shooting conditions. 

●! If pressing the shutter button while the flash is charging, the picture will 

be taken without the flash. 

◆ Red-eye effect ◆ 

When using the flash to take a picture of 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 minimize the likelihood of this effect. 

Take the following measures to make Red-eye reduction more effective: 

h Get the subjects to look at the camera. h Get as close as possible to the subjects. 

d Forced flash 

Use this mode in backlit scenes, such as a subject against 

a window or in the shade of a tree, or to get the correct 

colors when taking a picture under bright lighting. In this 

mode, the flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions. 

c Slow synchro 

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. To 

avoid camera shake, always use a tripod. 

h Slowest shutter speed 

“/” Night scene: up to 2 sec. 

n Red-eye reduction + Slow synchro 

Use this mode for Slow synchro shots with Red-eye reduction. 

●! The image may be overexposed when shooting bright scenes. 

To take a picture of a main subject at night with the 

background brightly lit, use the “/” (Night scene) setting in 

Photography mode (➡P.32).

Overview of the conversion lens / adapter ring 

Wide Conversion Lens WL-FXE01 

This accessory converts the focal length of your lens by 0.76 times (equal to a 21.3 mm wide-angle 

lens) without changing its F-stop value. Use the adapter ring AR-FXE01 (sold separately) when the 

wide conversion lens is mounted on the lens. 

Magnification : ×0.76 

Lens configuration : 3 lenses in 3 groups 

Shooting range : Approx. 0.6 m to infinity 

Dimensions : ø64.5 mm (2.5 in.) × L34 mm (1.3 in.) 

Weight : Approx. 95 g (3.4 oz.) 

Accessories : Lens caps (front and rear), Lens pouch 

●! The WL-FXE01 should only be used for wide-angle shots where distortion does not occur. Using the lens at the telephoto 

setting increases the amount of distortion. 

●! Use the LCD monitor to adjust the shot composition when attaching the wide conversion lens. The field visible through the 

viewfinder does not match the field actually photographed. 

●! The wide conversion lens and built-in flash cannot be used together. 

●! When using the wide conversion lens, there is a possibility of ghost images ✽ in shots that are taken facing towards the sun 

or very strong light. 

This risk can be decreased or eliminated by framing the shot so that bright light sources such as the sun are out of the 

shot as much as possible. 

✽ What is ghost image? 

Ghost image is an effect whereby strong light shining directly into the lens causes random reflections within the lens that 

appear as circles or rings of light at different points to the original light source. 

Tele Conversion Lens TL-FXE01 

This accessory increases the focal length of your lens by 1.94 times (equal to a 177 mm telephoto 

lens) without changing its F-stop value. Use the adapter ring AR-FXE01 (sold separately) when the 

teleconversion lens is mounted on the lens. 

Magnification : ×1.94 

Lens configuration : 3 lenses in 2 groups 

Shooting range : Approx. 1.2 m to infinity 

Dimensions : ø46 mm (1.8 in.) × L51 mm (2.0 in.) 


Accessories : Lens caps (front and rear), Lens pouch 

●! The TL-FXE01 should only be used for telephoto shots where eclipsing does not occur. Eclipsing occurs at wide-angle 

settings. 

●! Use the LCD monitor to adjust the shot composition when attaching the teleconversion lens. The field visible through the 

viewfinder does not match the field actually photographed. 

●! The built-in flash cannot be used with the teleconversion lens. 

Adapter Ring AR-FXE01 

Use the adapter ring when the conversion lens and commercially available filters are mounted on 

the lens. 

Compatible filters: 43 mm-diameter commercial available filters 

Dimensions : ø46 mm (1.8 in.) × L25 mm (1.0 in.) 


●! Do not use more than one filter at a time.

Power Supply and Batteries 

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 E500 / FinePix 

E510 because the heat created by the batteries 

could damage the camera or cause it not to work. 

h The life of alkaline batteries varies between brands. 

The life of batteries you purchase may be shorter 

than those 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. 

h Do not expose the batteries to water, and keep 

batteries from getting wet or stored in moist 

locations. 

h Do not attempt to take apart or change the batteries, 

including battery casings. 

h Do not subject the batteries to strong impacts. 

h Do not use batteries that are leaking, deformed, 

discolored. 

h Do not store batteries in warm or humid places. 

h Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small 

children. 

h Make sure that the battery polarity (≠ and –) is 

correct. 

xD-Picture Card. In this event, remove the xD- 

Picture Card and wait a short time. 

■ When the Camera is Not Used or is stored 

Periods of Time 

If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period 

of time, remove the batteries and the xD-Picture Card. 

■ Cleaning Your Camera 

h Use a blower brush to brush away any dust on the 

lens, LCD monitor or viewfinder, and then gently 

wipe the camera 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 or viewfinder. 

h Clean the body of the camera with a soft, dry cloth. 

Do not use volatile substances or cleaning products 

these items can cause damage. 

■ Using the Camera When Traveling 

When traveling overseas, do not place your camera in 

the check-in baggage. Baggage can be subjected 

violent shocks, and the camera may be damaged 

inside or outside. 

h Do not use new with used batteries. Do not use 

charged and discharged batteries together. 

h Do not use different types or brands of batteries at 

the same time. 

h If you do not intend to use the camera for a long 

period of time, remove the batteries from the camera 

(Note if the camera is left with the batteries 

removed, the time and date settings are cleared). 

h The batteries feel warm right after being used. 

Before removing the batteries, turn the camera off 

and wait for the batteries to cool down. 

h Since batteries do not work well in cold weather or 

locations, warm the batteries by placing then inside 

your garments before use. Batteries do not work well 

when cold. They will work again when their 

temperature returns to normal. 

h Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals 

makes the batteries charge less reducing the 

number of images. Carefully wipe the battery 

terminals with a soft dry cloth before loading. 

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. 

Using the AA-size Ni-MH Batteries and the 

Rechargeable Battery NH-10 Correctly 

h As a power source in digital cameras, AA-size Ni- 

MH batteries and the Rechargeable Battery NH-10 

(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.100 for the procedure for “Discharging 

rechargeable batteries”. 

Do not use the “Discharging rechargeable 

batteries” function when alkaline batteries are 

being used. 

h To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the quick battery 

charger (sold separately). Refer to the instructions 

supplied with the charger 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 and the Rechargeable Battery NH-10 in the 

camera for a long period will overdischarge the 

batteries and may render them unusable even after 

recharging. 

h Ni-MH batteries and the Rechargeable Battery NH- 

10 will self-discharge even when not used, and the 

time for which they can be used may be shortened 

as a result. 

h Rechargeable Battery NH-10 can be charged by 

setting the camera in the PictureCradle CP-FXA10 

(sold separately). 

h Ni-MH batteries cannot be charged using a 

combination of the camera and the cradle. 

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. 

AC Power Adapter 

Always use the AC-3V AC Power Adapter (sold 

separately) or the AC-3VW AC Power Adapter 

(supplied with PictureCradle sold separately). The use 

of an AC Power adapter other than AC-3V/AC-3VW 

can cause damage to your digital camera. 

h The AC-3V cannot be used to charge the NH-10 

Rechargeable Battery. 

h Use 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 humid 

place. 

h Do not subject the AC power adapter to strong 

shocks. 

h The AC power adapter may emit a humming. But 

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.

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 to be printed and how many prints are made of each 

image. 

EV 

A number 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 refers to the number of images (frames) that are photographed or played back per second. For 

example, when 10 frames are continuously photographed in a 1-second interval, the frame rate is expressed as 10 fps. 

For reference, TV images are displayed at 30 fps (NTSC). 

JPEG 

Joint Photographic Experts Group 

A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The higher the compression rate, the greater the loss 

of quality in the decompressed (restored) 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). 

Smear 

A phenomenon specific to CCDs whereby white streaks appear on the image when there is a very strong light 

source, such as the sun or reflected sunlight, in the photography screen. 

WAVE 

A standard format used on Windows systems for saving audio data. WAVE files have the “.WAV” file extension and 

the data can be saved in either compressed or uncompressed format. Uncompressed recording is used on this 

camera. 

WAVE files can be played back on a personal computer using the following software: 

Windows: MediaPlayer 

Macintosh: QuickTime Player 

✽ QuickTime 3.0 or later 

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. 

Exif Print Format is a newly revised digital camera file format that contains a variety of shooting information for 

optimal printing.

Do not use the AC power adapter 

when the plug is damaged or the 

plug socket connection is loose. 

This could cause a fire or electric shock. 

Do not cover or wrap the camera or 

the AC power adapter in a cloth or 

blanket. 

This can cause heat to build up and 

distort the casing or cause a fire. 

When you are cleaning the camera 

or you do not plan to use the camera 

for an extended period, remove the 

batteries and disconnect and unplug 

the AC power adapter. 

Failure to do so can cause a fire or 

electric shock. 

When charging ends, unplug the 

charger from the power socket. 

Leaving the charger plugged into the 

power socket can cause a fire. 

Using a flash too close to a person’s 

eyes may temporarily affect their 

eyesight. 

Take particular care when taking 

pictures of children. 

When an xD-Picture Card is 

removed, the card could come out of 

the slot too quickly. Use your finger 

to hold it and gently release the card. 

Request regular internal testing and 

cleaning for your camera. 

Build-up of dust in your camera can 

cause a fire or electric shock. 

h Contact your FUJIFILM dealer to 

request internal cleaning every 2 years.

service.
