Simple Camera Care
Camera Care 1. Do not open the film door until you have used up the film;
otherwise, the rest of the film is exposed and turns white and the film can no
longer be used. 2. Your camera is a fragile object. Do not expose it to water,
sand or gritty materials and do not drop. 3. Do not use a strap made for
cellular phones or other similar electronic products. These straps are usually
too weak to hold your camera securely. For safety, only use straps designed
for your camera, and use only as specifically intended and instructed. 4. Do
not use solvent such as thinner or alcohol to remove dirt. 5. Do not leave
your camera in direct sun, or hot places such as a car. Do not leave it in
damp places for long periods. 6. Moth repellent gas such as naphthalene may
affect your camera and prints. Be careful to keep your camera and prints in a
safe, dry place. 7. Note that the temperature range within which your camera
can be used is +5 °C to +40 °C. 8. Take great care to ensure that printed
materials do not violate copyright, image rights, privacy or other personal
rights and do not offend public decency. Actions that violate the rights of
others, are contrary to public decency or constitute a nuisance may be
punishable by law or otherwise legally actionable.
Handling the LCD Monitor As the LCD monitor can be easily scratched or damaged
by sharp or solid objects, we recommend you attach a protective sheet
(commercially available) onto the monitor.
Charging the Battery The battery is not charged at shipment. Charge the
battery completely before use. Charge the battery using the supplied USB
cable. Charging times will increase at ambient temperatures below +10 °C or
above +35 °C. Do not attempt to charge the battery at temperatures above +40
°C or at temperatures below +5 °C as the battery will not charge.
Battery Life At normal temperatures, the battery can be recharged about 300
times. A noticeable decrease in the length of time the battery will hold a
charge indicates that it has reached the end of its service life.
Cautions: Handling the Battery The battery and camera body may become warm to
the touch after extended use. This is normal.
Certification marks acquired by the camera are located inside the film
chamber.
Cautions During Printing
Do not shake the camera while printing.
Do not drop the camera while printing.
Do not cover the film ejection slot while printing.

“INSTAX mini” Film and Print Care See FUJIFILM Instant Film “INSTAX mini” for
film use instructions. Follow all instructions for safe and proper use. 1.
Keep the film in a cool place. Do not leave the film in a place where the
temperature is extremely high (e.g., in a closed car) for many hours. 2. Do
not puncture, tear, or cut “INSTAX mini” film. If film becomes damaged, do not
use. 3. When you load a film pack, use the film as soon as possible. 4. If the
film has been kept in a place where the temperature is extremely high or low,
bring it to room temperature before starting to print photos. 5. Be sure to
use the film before the expiration or “Use Before” date. 6. Avoid airport
checked luggage inspection and other strong X-ray illumination. The effect of
fogging, etc. may appear on unused film. We recommend that you carry the
camera and/ or the film onto the aircraft as carry-on luggage. (Check with
each airport for more information.) 7. Avoid strong light, and keep the
developed prints in a cool and dry place. 8. Do not puncture or cut this film
as it contains a small amount of caustic paste (high alkaline). Never let
children or animals put the film into their mouth. Also pay attention so that
the paste does not come into contact with skin or clothes. 9. In case the
paste inside the film comes into contact with skin or clothes, immediately
wash off with plenty of water. If the paste comes into contact with the eyes
or mouth, immediately wash the area with plenty of water and contact a doctor.
Note that the alkaline inside the film remains active for about 10 minutes
after the photo has been printed.
