2 FinePix A201 (U/E/EG) SREVICE GUIDE 1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly soldered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splasher and bridges. 2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched” or contact high-wattage resistors. 3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particu- larly transistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement. 4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement. 5. Caution: For continued protection against fire hazard, replace only with same type 2.5 amperes 125/250 volts fuse. Attention: Afin d’assurer une protection permanente contre les risques d’incendie, remplacer uniquement par un fusible de meme, type 2.5 amperes, 125/250 volts. 6. Warning: To reduce the electric shock, be careful to touch the parts. SAFETY CHECK-OUT After correcting the original problem, perform the following safety check before return the product to the costomer. WARNING! HIGH VOLTAGE RISK OF FIRE- REPLACE FUSE AS MARKED 2.5A 125/250V 2.5A 125/250V

Maximum recording resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels (1.92 million pixels) Compact and lightweight body Wide range of photography applications (includes Macro function) Automatic scene recognition, auto white balance and AE functions built in Automatic high-precision flash built in with extensive flash control functionality 2.5x digital zoom photography and up to 5x zoom playback functions Easy operation using the Mode switch and 4-way " " button Shoots movies (320 x 240 pixels without sound) USB connection for quick and easy image file downloading (using the enclosed Interface Set) Built-in PC Camera function Runs on 2 ordinary AA batteries Conforms to the new standard for digital camera file system* * Design rule for Camera File system. Explanation of Terms 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. 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). 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.
