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

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.
