SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original problem, perform the following safety check before return the product to the costomer.

FinePix6900ZOOM(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, particularly 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

Camera Features

* The newly developed super CCD(featuring a total of 3.3 million pixels) used in the FinePix6900 ZOOM provides ultra-

high rasolution image file with 6.03 million (2832 ×2128) pixels.

* 6x optical zoom that uses aspherical lenses for super optical performance

* Maximum 4.4seamless digital zoom at VGA mode

Auto Power Save If the camera is not used in any way for 30 seconds, this function switches features such as the Function :

DPOF : Digital Print Order Format. DPOF is a format used for recording information on a storage media

EV : A number that denotes exposure. The EV is determined by the brightness of the subject and

JPEG : Joint Photographics Experts Group. A file format used for compressing and saving color images.

Motion JPEG : A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format that handles images and sound as a single file.

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.

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.

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

(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.

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.

The compression ratio can be selected, but the higher the compression ratio, the poorer the quality of the expanded image.

Images in the file are recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG can be played back by QuickTime

3.0 or later.

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.

*2:When MAIN PWB ASSY is exchanged, the CCD's defective data will be lost. Therefore, you have to remove

EEPROM IC(IC311) from defective MAIN PWB ASSY. And then, you have to exchange EEPROM IC(IC311) of

new MAIN PWB ASSY to an EEPROM IC you removed before you replace MAIN PWB ASSY.

3-3.About the Adjustment PC Soft

3-3-1.Attention at DSC jig driver

FinePix6900Zoom uses the USB cable to communicate with the personal computer.

When FinePix6900Zoom is adjusted, the installation of the DSC jig driver is necessary.

The download, decompression and installation procedure is recorded as follows.

[Download and decompression]

1) Download the compressed DSC jig driver from Web server (http://fujifilm-di.intranets.com/).

2) Defrost the downloaded compression file.

(Note)

The DSC jig driver in this server is compression file of ZIP form.

Therefore, after downloading this compression file from the Web server, the decompression of the file is necessary.

In the decompression software, if the decompression of the ZIP form can be done, any software is OK.

Please prepare each one for the decompression software.

[Installation]

1) The unzipped DSC jig driver (ZJ00476-100) folder is opened.

2) Please double-click the "Setup.exe", start the installation of "FUJI FILM DSC jig driver".

3) "FUJI FILM DSC jig driver" is installed according to the instruction of the screen <Fig.3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4>.

Note: If the FUJI FILM digital camera (example FinePix4900zoom) has already been repaired, the installation of

the DSC jig driver is not necessary.

3-3-2.Attention at PC adjustment soft

This adjustment software can perform adjustments to each block using the user program ( Fx6900z.ff) in the base program (FFW.exe). A basic program is FinePix6900zoom exclusive use.

The download, decompression and installation procedure is recorded as follows.

[Download and decompression]

1) Download the compressed PC adjustment software from Web server (http://fujifilm-di.intranets.com/).

2) Defrost the downloaded compression file.

(Note)

The PC adjustment software in this server is compression file of ZIP form.

Therefore, after downloading this compression file from the Web server, the decompression of the file is necessary.

In the decompression software, if the decompression of the ZIP form can be done, any software is OK.

Please prepare each one for the decompression software.

The decompression and the preservation method of the PC adjustment software are described as an example of FinePix2300.

As the PC adjustment software is different in each model, the compression file name is also different.

Specify the preservation drive for C drive if it is decompression software which can specify the preservation drive.

Similarly, defrost without making a new folder if it is decompression software that can be defrosted without making a new folder.

Defrost simply if the decompression software which you cannot specify the drive specification and the folder making.

[Install]

1) When the decompression is only done, the folder named ZJ00481-100 is automatically made. <Fig.3-5>

2) Copy the folder named FinePix2300UE in this folder in C drive, installation is finished. <Fig.3-6>

The folder of ZJ00481-100 becomes unnecessary at the end , and delete this folder.

3-3-3.Attention at Firmware

The firmware is not needing downloaded as long as there is usually no instruction.

[Download and decompression]

1) Download the compressed firmware from Web server (http://fujifilm-di.intranets.com/).

2) Defrost the downloaded compression software.

3) The folder named ZJ00482-100

4) The imfidx10 folder is included in the folder (ZJ00482-100).

5) The imfidx10 folder is copied onto Smart Media (more than 4MB, 3.3V).

(Note)

*1: The decompression and the preservation method of the firmware are described as an example of FinePix2300.

Firmware in this server is compression file of ZIP form.

Therefore, after downloading this compression file from the Web server, the decompression of the file is necessary.

In the decompression software, if the decompression of the ZIP form can be done, any software is OK.

Please prepare each one for the decompression software

As the Firmware is different in each model, the compression file name is also different.

can be made by simply defrosting <Fig.3-7>.
