Charging The Fujifilm Finepix 10 X Wide: A Step-By-Step Guide

The Fujifilm X10 camera can be charged in several ways. The most common method is by using the supplied AC power adapter and USB cable. The camera uses an NP-95 rechargeable battery, which takes about 4 hours and 30 minutes to fully charge. It is important to ensure that the connectors are inserted correctly and that the camera is turned off during charging. Additionally, the camera can be charged via a computer using a USB cable, although this may be slower and dependent on the computer's specifications. It is worth noting that the battery should be charged one or two days before use as it gradually loses its charge over time.

Use a USB cable to connect the camera to a computer

To charge your Fujifilm camera using a computer, you will need a USB cable. The camera comes with a USB-C cable, but you can also purchase a spare or replacement cable if you need one. Make sure the cable is suitable for both charging and data transfer.

Connect the USB-C end of the cable to the camera, and the other end to your computer. The other end of the cable will depend on your computer model: most computers have Type-A USB connectors, but newer laptops may have a smaller USB-C connector.

Once the camera is connected, turn it on. The computer's operating system should automatically detect the camera and treat the SD card as attached external storage.

You can then use your operating system’s file management software to manually copy images from your camera to your computer. Alternatively, you can use an image organisation app like Lightroom or Fujifilm’s free app, Fujifilm X Acquire.

Please note that if your computer goes into sleep mode while charging, the charging will stop. To continue charging, disable sleep mode on the computer, and disconnect and reconnect the USB cable.

Use a power bank to charge the camera

To charge your Fujifilm camera with a power bank, you will need to purchase a power bank with Power Delivery (PD). While standard 5V power banks can charge your camera, they will do so slowly and cannot power your camera while it is in use.

When purchasing a power bank, make sure it states "PD" for Power Delivery. Fujifilm officially recommends the following power banks on their website:

• Anker PowerCore+ 26800 PD
• Anker PowerCore Speed 20000 PD
• Anker 10W Wireless Charger
• Anker PowerPort Speed 4 Wall Charger
• Anker PowerWave 7.5 Fast Wireless Charging Stand with Internal Cooling
• Anker Dual USB Wall Charger
• Anker [3-Pack] Powerline Micro USB (3ft) – Charging Cable
• Anker [2-Pack] Powerline+ Lightning Cable
• Roav Anker, SmartCharge F0 FM Transmitter/Bluetooth Receiver/Car Charger
• Anker Powerline USB-C to USB 3.0 Cable (3ft)
• Anker 24W Dual USB Car Charger PowerDrive 2

Once you have purchased a suitable power bank, follow these steps:

• Turn off your camera.
• Connect the power bank to your camera using a USB cable.
• The camera will now draw power directly from the power bank.
• To charge the camera battery, turn the camera off and leave it connected to the power bank.

Note: When using a power bank without Power Delivery, your camera battery may drain slightly faster than the power bank can charge it.

Use the supplied AC power adapter and plug

To charge your Fujifilm camera using the supplied AC power adapter and plug, follow these steps:

First, ensure that your camera's battery is charged before first use. The Fujifilm camera uses an NP-95 rechargeable battery, which takes about 4 hours and 30 minutes to fully charge. It is important to note that the battery is not charged at shipment, so be sure to charge it before your initial use.

Now, for the charging process:

• Attach the plug adapter to the AC power adapter. Ensure that it is securely inserted and clicks into place on the AC power adapter terminals.
• Use the supplied USB cable to connect your camera to the AC power adapter.
• Plug the AC power adapter into an indoor power outlet.
• Ensure that the connectors are correctly oriented and fully inserted.

During the charging process, you can monitor the battery status through the battery status icons when the camera is turned on, or via the indicator lamp when the camera is turned off.

Please note that the camera will not charge while it is in shooting mode. Additionally, be sure to keep the battery terminals clean and free of dirt to ensure efficient charging.

Use a Fujifilm battery charger

To charge your Fujifilm camera, you will need to use the supplied AC power adapter and USB cable. Firstly, attach the plug adapter to the AC power adapter, ensuring it is fully inserted and clicks into place. Then, connect your camera to the AC power adapter using the USB cable. Plug the camera into an indoor power outlet. Make sure the connectors are in the correct orientation and fully inserted.

The camera will indicate its charging status through battery status icons when it is turned on, and through an indicator lamp when it is turned off. The camera will not charge while it is in shooting mode.

You can also charge the camera by connecting it to a computer. Use the supplied USB cable, ensuring the connectors are fully inserted. Connect the camera directly to the computer, not through a USB hub or keyboard. If the computer goes into sleep mode while charging, disable sleep mode and disconnect and reconnect the USB cable.

Please note, charging may not be possible depending on the computer's specifications, settings, or conditions.

Use an Apple 12W USB Power Adaptor

To charge your Fujifilm camera using an Apple 12W USB Power Adaptor, follow these steps:

Firstly, ensure that your Apple USB power adapter is compatible with your Fujifilm camera model. The Apple 12W USB Power Adaptor is included with several Apple devices, such as certain iPad models, and can be purchased separately from Apple or authorized Apple resellers.

Next, check that your Fujifilm camera uses a USB-C connection. The Apple 12W USB Power Adaptor has a standard USB-A connection, so you may need to use a USB-C to USB-A cable. Make sure that your cable is fully inserted and connected securely at both ends.

Now, simply plug the Apple 12W USB Power Adaptor into a power outlet and connect your Fujifilm camera to the adaptor via the USB cable. Your camera should now be charging.

Please note that charging times may vary depending on the power output of the Apple adaptor and the specifications of your camera. Additionally, always refer to the safety guidelines provided by both Fujifilm and Apple when using third-party chargers.
