Charging the battery

The Fujifilm FinePix XP120 camera is charged using an NP-45S rechargeable battery. This is included with the camera but is not charged at shipment, so you will need to charge it before first use. Charging takes about 120 minutes.

To charge the battery, first, turn the camera off. Then, attach the plug adapter to the AC power adapter. Be sure to attach it correctly, making sure it is fully inserted and clicks into place on the AC power adapter terminals. The supplied plug adapter is for exclusive use with the AC-5VG AC power adapter, so do not use it with other devices. The shape of the plug adapter varies depending on the country of sale.

Next, open the battery chamber cover. Before doing so, use a soft cloth to remove any water droplets or foreign matter from the camera. Then, connect the camera to the supplied AC power adapter using the supplied USB cable. Connect the cable to the camera's Micro USB (Micro-B) connector, ensuring the connectors are in the correct orientation and fully inserted. Plug the AC power adapter into an indoor power outlet.

The battery will not charge while the camera is on. The supplied AC power adapter is compatible with power supplies of 100 to 240 V, but a plug adapter may be needed for overseas use.

Some additional precautions to take include:

• Do not affix labels or other objects to the battery, as this could make it impossible to remove the battery from the camera.
• Do not short the battery terminals, as the battery could overheat.
• Only use genuine Fujifilm rechargeable batteries designated for use in this camera.
• Do not remove the labels from the battery or attempt to split or peel the outer casing.
• The battery gradually loses its charge when not in use, so charge it one or two days before use. If the battery fails to hold a charge, it must be replaced.
• Unplug the AC power adapter when it is not in use.
• Remove dirt from the battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth to ensure efficient charging.
• Charging times may increase at very low or very high temperatures.
• If the camera is turned on while plugged into AC power with the battery inserted, it will operate in external power mode.
