LOADING THE BATTERIES 

Compatible Batteries 

AA-size alkaline batteries (4) or AA-size Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries (4, sold 

separately) 

◆ About the Batteries ◆ 

h Never use a battery when the outer casing is split or peeling as Outer casing 

this could result in a short-circuit and cause major problems 

due to battery fluid leakage or overheating. 

h Do not use lithium, manganese or nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) 

batteries. 

h Do not use batteries of different types or brands together and 

do not use new batteries together with used batteries. 

h The useful life of alkaline batteries varies depending on the brand. The life of some batteries may 

be considerably shorter than the batteries supplied with the camera. Due to the nature of alkaline 

batteries, the time for which they can be used is shorter in cold locations (+10°C (+50°F) or below). 

h Soiling such as fingermarks or grease on the poles of batteries can significantly reduce the 

number of shots that can be taken. 

h See P.82 for other precautions concerning the use of batteries. 

◆ When Using AA-size Ni-MH Batteries ◆ 

To charge Ni-MH batteries, the optional charger (➡ P.80) is required. 

h Always use the specified FUJIFILM batteries. Attempting to recharge other types of battery 

(manganese, alkaline or lithium batteries) could cause the batteries to burst or leak fluid, causing 

a fire or injury or damage to surroundings. 

h Soiling on the poles of Ni-MH batteries may prevent successful charging. It is recommended that 

you make a practice of wiping the battery poles and charger terminals with a clean dry cloth 

before charging. (In particular, the first time you charge the batteries, you should clean the poles 

and terminals and then load the batteries into the charger and remove them again several times 

before you begin charging.) 

h Do not use new batteries together with used batteries. 

h Always charge batteries before using them. Newly purchased batteries or batteries that have not 

been used for a long period may not contain sufficient charge (so that the battery low warning 

appears immediately or the available shots/time displayed for the battery is low). This is a 

characteristic of the batteries and does not indicate a fault. Once the batteries have been 

charged and used 3 or 4 times, it will be possible to charge them fully and they will supply power 

for longer. 

h If you charge Ni-MH batteries before they are fully depleted, this results in the “memory effect”, 

which causes the battery low warning to appear sooner. To restore the batteries to their normal 

condition, use up all the charge in the batteries before recharging them. 

✽ Memory effect: A phenomenon whereby the battery capacity appears to be lower than the 

nominal amount.

LOADING THE MEDIA 

You can use either SmartMedia or Microdrive as recording media in the FinePix S602 ZOOM. 

h If you load a SmartMedia and a Microdrive at the same time, images will be recorded onto the 

media selected as the “Primary media” (➡ “Settings” P.68). 

h Data cannot be copied between the two media types on the FinePix S602 ZOOM. 

SmartMedia TM (optional) 

Always use 3.3-volt SmartMedia. 

h MG-4S (4 MB) 

h MG-8S (8 MB) 

h MG-16S (16 MB) 

h MG-16SW (16 MB, ID) 

h MG-32S (32 MB) 



h MG-128SW (128 MB, ID) 

●! Images cannot be recorded or erased if a writeprotect 

sticker is affixed to the SmartMedia. 

●! Operation of this camera is only guaranteed when it 

is used with FUJIFILM SmartMedia. 

●! Some 3.3V SmartMedia are labeled as “3V” or “ID” 

cards. 

●! See P.83 for more information on using SmartMedia. 

1 

Microdrive (optional: supplied by another manufacturers) 

h Microdrive 340MB 

h Microdrive 1GB 

●! Microdrives are actually very small and light hard 

disks. Because they are a spinning storage medium, 

they are less resistant to vibration and impacts than 

SmartMedia. If you are using a Microdrive, take great 

care not to expose the camera to vibration or impacts 

(particularly during recording or playback). 

●! The use of Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries is 

recommended when using as Microdrive. 

●! See P.83 for more information on using Microdrive. 

Some CompactFlash TM cards may not work 

properly. Please contact the card manufacture 

for compatibility. 

Set the Power switch to “OFF”, check that the 

indicator lamp is off and then open the slot 

cover. 

●! If you open the slot cover while the camera is still 

switched on, the camera is switched off as a safety 

measure.

Push the SmartMedia firmly all the way 

into the SmartMedia slot. 

Push the Microdrive firmly all the way into 

the Microdrive slot. 

●! Insert only the appropriate media types into the Microdrive and SmartMedia slots. Inserting the incorrect media 

will damage the camera and/or media. 

●! If the media is oriented incorrectly, it will not go all the way into the slot. Do not apply excessive force when 

inserting a SmartMedia or Microdrive. 

●! If the SmartMedia is not fully inserted into the slot, “∂” is displayed. 

◆ Replacing a SmartMedia ◆ 

If you open the slot cover and push down 

lightly on the SmartMedia, it will pop out 

slightly and can then be easily removed. 

●! When storing SmartMedia, always use the 

special static-free case provided.

Press the flash pop-up button to pop up the 

flash. 

●! If the “∂”, “ƒ”, “©” or 

“˙” message appears, refer to P.84. 

●! If the flash popped up and was used to take a picture, 

the screen may go dark briefly while the flash is 

charging. At the same time, the indicator lamp flashes 

orange. 

●! If you use the flash while it is snowing or in very dusty 

conditions, the snowflakes or dust may reflect the flash 

and appear as white specks on the image.

EXPOSURE (APERTURE AND SHUTTER SPEED) 

EXPOSURE 

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 automatically determines the correct exposure, allowing for factors such as the 

brightness of the subject and the ISO setting. 

Closed (Aperture) 

Open 

Slow (Shutter speed) Fast 

◆ When You Cannot Get the Correct Exposure ◆ 

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 exposure is decreased by one step, the shutter 

speed also decreases by one step (the dot moves up and left). 

h When the exposure is increased by one step, the shutter speed 

also increases by one step (the dot moves down and right). 

h Combinations that result in the shutter speed or aperture being 

outside the available range of settings cannot be selected 

(white dots). 

h In the P, S and A photography modes, it is easy to select 

different settings along this line. 

h Selecting settings that run parallel to this line by adjusting the 

brightness of the photographed image is referred to as 

exposure compensation. 

AE lock: Determines and fixes the exposure at a target level. Use the following procedure to take 

a picture using AE lock: 

Press the “AE-L” button (sets and locks 

the exposure). ➡ Press the shutter button 

down halfway (sets and fixes the focus). 

➡ Press the shutter button down fully 

(takes the picture).

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY 

c Auto Flash 

Use this mode for ordinary shots. The flash fires 

automatically according to the photography 

conditions. 

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 a pre-flash just before the picture 

is taken and then fires again to take the actual 

picture. 

●! In the “R” and “>” modes, the flash fires automatically 

according to the photography conditions. 

◆ 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 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. 

z Forced Flash 

Use this flash 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. 

v 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 nighttime backdrop. 

! Red-Eye Reduction + Slow Synchro 

Use this mode for slow synchro shots with redeye 

reduction. 

●! 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. 

To take a picture of a main subject at night with 

the background brightly lit, please use the “>” 

mode “/” (Night Scene) settings (➡P.34).

Notes on Using Your Camera Correctly 

eBe sure to read this information in conjunction with “Safety Notes” (➡P.90), 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 S602 ZOOM 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 media. In this event, remove the 

media 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 battery and the media 

card before storing the camera. 

■ Cleaning Your Camera 

h Use a blower brush to brush away any dust on 

the lens, LCD monitor surface, viewfinder or 

external AF sensor and then gently wipe the 

camera with a soft, dry cloth. If any soiling 

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.

Notes on the Power Supply 

Applicable Batteries 

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 S602 ZOOM because the 

heat generated by the batteries could damage 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 the batteries with metal objects such 

as necklaces or hairpins that could come into contact with 

the metal positive Ω 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 casing. 

h Do not drop, strike or otherwise subject the batteries to 

strong impacts. 

h Do not use the batteries that are leaking, deformed, 

discolored or exhibit any other obvious abnormality. 

h Do not store the batteries in very warm or moist locations. 

h Keep the batteries out of reach of infant and young children. 

h When loading the batteries into the camera, ensure that the 

battery polarity (Ω 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 4 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. 

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. 

Notes on Using the AC Power Adapter 

Always use the AC-5VH/AC-5VHS AC Power Adapter with 

the camera. 

The use of an AC Power adapter other than AC-5VH/AC-5VHS 

could result in damage to your digital 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). 

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. 

■ 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 Soiling (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. 

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.

Notes on the Media (SmartMedia and Microdrives) 

■ SmartMedia 

The SmartMedia card is a new image recording medium 

developed especially for use in digital cameras. Each 

SmartMedia card contains a built-in semiconductor memory 

chip (NAND flash memory) which is used for storing image 

data files in digital form. 

Because the data is stored electronically, the stored image 

data can be erased from the card and new data recorded. 

■ SmartMedia with ID 

A SmartMedia with ID is a SmartMedia that has an 

individually assigned identification number. SmartMedia ID 

cards can be used with devices that use ID numbers for 

copyright protection or other purposes. This camera accepts 

SmartMedia ID cards in the same way as conventional 

SmartMedia cards. 

■ Microdrives 

Microdrives are compact, lightweight hard disk drives that 

conform to the CF+ Type II standard. Due to their ample 

capacity for large image data files and their low permegabyte 

recording cost, Microdrives provide a more 

economical way to save high-resolution image files. 

■ Storing Data 

In the situations listed below, recorded data may be erased 

(destroyed). Please note that FUJIFILM accepts no 

responsibility whatsoever for the loss (destruction) of 

recorded data. 

✽ When the media is used incorrectly by the owner or a third 

party 

✽ When the media is exposed to static electricity or electrical 

noise 

✽ When the media is removed or the camera is switched off 

during data recording or erasing (media formatting) 

✽ When the media is bent, dropped or otherwise subjected 

to a strong force or impact 

Important data should be backed up onto another medium. 

(MO disk, floppy disk, hard disk, etc.) 

■ General Notes on Handling Media (all types) 

h When inserting the media into the camera, hold the media 

straight as you push it in. 

h Never remove the media or switch the camera off during 

data recording or erasing (media formatting) as this could 

result in damage to the media. 

h Data storage media are precision electronic devices. Do 

not bend, drop or otherwise subject the media to strong 

force or shocks. 

h Do not use or store these media in environments likely to 

be affected by strong static electricity or electrical noise. 

h Do not use or store media in locations subject to high 

temperatures and humidity or in environments where they 

are exposed to corrosive substances. 

■ Notes on Handling SmartMedia 

h Use only the SmartMedia specified for use with the 

camera. The use of other SmartMedia could damage the 

camera. 

h Take care not to touch the SmartMedia’s contact area (the 

gold-colored area) or allow the area to become soiled. Use 

a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any soiling that does occur. 

h To avoid damage caused by static electricity, always use 

the special static-free case provided when carrying or 

storing the media. Alternatively, keep the SmartMedia in a 

storage case if available. 

h Inserting a SmartMedia that is charged with static 

electricity into your camera may result in a camera 

malfunction. If this occurs, switch the camera off and then 

on again. 

h Do not carry SmartMedia in locations such as a trouser 

pocket. This could subject the SmartMedia to excessive 

force when you sit down, thereby damaging the 

SmartMedia. 

h The SmartMedia may feel warm when it is removed from 

the camera after extended periods of use. This is normal 

and does not indicate a fault. 

h SmartMedia have a limited life and it may become 

impossible to record or erase data on a SmartMedia that 

has been used for a long time. When this happens, 

purchase a new SmartMedia. 

h Affix the index labels supplied with the SmartMedia onto 

the designated area of the card. Do not use third-party 

labels as this can lead to problems when the card is 

inserted or removed. 

h When you attach the index label to a SmartMedia, take 

care that it does not cover any part of the write-protect 

area. 

■ Notes on using Microdrive 

h Do not write on the Microdrive label. 

h Do not peel off the Microdrive label. 

h Do not stick additional labels onto a Microdrive. 

h When carrying or storing a Microdrive, keep it in the 

protective case provided. 

h Do not use Microdrive in CF+ Type II slots that do not 

have an eject function. 

h Take care when handling Microdrive that have been used 

for long periods as they may become hot. 

h Do not place Microdrive close to strong magnetic fields. 

h Keep Microdrive dry. 

h Do not apply strong pressure to the Microdrive cover. 

■ Notes on using media with a computer 

h If you intend to take photos using a media that has been 

used on a personal computer, first format the media on 

your camera. 

h When you format a media in the camera and then 

photograph and record images, a folder is automatically 

created on the media. Image data is then recorded in this 

folder. 

h Do not change or delete the folder names or file names on 

the media from your computer as this will make it 

impossible to use the media in your camera. 

h Always use the camera to erase image data on a media. 

h To edit image data, copy the image data to the computer's 

hard disk and then edit the copied data.

Explanation of Terms 

AF/AE Lock: 

On the FinePix S602 ZOOM, pressing the shutter button down half way locks the focus and exposure settings 

(AF and AE lock). If you want to focus on a subject that is not centered in the frame or change the picture 

composition after the exposure is set, you can obtain good results by changing the composition after the AF 

and AE settings are locked. 

Auto Power Save Function: 

If the camera is not used in any way for 30 seconds, this function switches features such as the LCD 

monitor off (Sleep mode) to prevent battery depletion and the waste of power when the AC power adapter is 

connected. If the camera is then left unused for a further period, the Auto Power Save function switches the 

camera off. This period can be set to 2 minutes or 5 minutes on this camera. 

h The Auto Power Off function does not operate in PC mode, during automatic playback, or if it is disabled 

during setup. 

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. 

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). 

VGA/QVGA: 

Graphics standards for PCs. Images are displayed at 640 × 480 and 320 × 240 pixels respectively. 

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. This camera use PCM 

recording. 

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. A 

function that automatically matches the white balance is called an Automatic White Balance function. 

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. 

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

for optimal printing.
