1-2.Explanation of Terms

Deactivated batteries: Leaving an Ni-MH battery unused in storage for a long period may cause a rise in

the level of substances that inhibit current flow inside the battery and result in a dormant battery. A battery in this state is referred to as deactivated. Because current flow is inhibited in a deactivated Ni-MH battery, the battery’s original level of performance cannot be achieved.

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 Value. 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.

Frame rate (fps): The frame rate is a unit used to indicate the number of images (frames) played

back per second. This camera shoots movie files at 10 consecutive frames per second, a rate that is expressed as 10 fps. By comparison, TV images are played at 30 fps.

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.

Memory effect: If an Ni-MH battery is repeatedly charged without first being fully discharged, its

performance may drop below its original level. This is referred to as the “memory effect”.

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. Exif Print: Exif Print Format is a newly revised digital camera file format that contains a vari-

ety of shooting information for optimal printing.

Precautions in parts replacement Do not reuse detached electronic components. Use only new components. The negative side of tantalum capacitors is weak against heat. Handle with care. With the exception of Chemical capacitor and tantalum capacitors, the volt age of capacitors of a 50V or lower withstand voltage is not labeled. Unless specified, electronic component resistance is 1/16W. K = 1000 , M = 1000 K

3.2 Names and Functions of Basic Blocks

3.Schematics

3-3.Explanation of Functions of Important Blocks

3-3-1.Technical Overview

The FinePix A210 incorporates a 1/2.7 -inch square pixel, primary color interline CCD of 3.34 million pixels(total). An [xD picture card] is adopted as the recording media. The optical system employs a newly designed 1-stage retracting barrel 3x zoom lens. New ICs are the [ACS2 (IC102)] for CCD processing, [KEY IC (IC800)] that incorporates power supply management capabilities into opera- tion system processing, and system LSI [XCS (IC203)] that pakeged signal processing, LCD drive, TG functions and DRAM. The flash light block is modularized. THE camera in internally capable of discharge function of rechargeable battery (NH-10) . THE camera in internally capable of charge function of rechargeable battery (NH-10) . when used the Picture Cradle CP-FXA10. The camera incorporates a thermistor to monitor environment temperature (LENS UNIT) and temperature during internal charging the battrry(NH-10) for safty.

3-3-2.Explanation of Functions of Individual Blocks

(1) CCD Signal Processing/Picture-taking Blocks (CCD BLOCK and CAM BLOCK)

The analog signals output by the CCD (1/2.7 square pixel, primary color interline CCD of 3.34 million pixels[total] [IC103]) undergo color compensation, adaptive interpolation, amplification (ACG) and signal mixing in the [ACS2 (IC102)] CCD signal processing IC. After that, the signals are converted into 12-bit digital signals and sent to the [XCS (IC203)] system LSI. This block has a vertical drive IC (IC101) for driving the CCD.

(2) Motor Block (MOTOR BLOCK)

Upon receiving commands from operating switches, the [XCS (IC203)] signal processing LSI manages the motor drive IC (IC701) so as to control the motors for AF, shutter, zoom and iris.

(3) Image Signal Processing Block (PROCESS BLOCK)

Input Data from the CCD The 10-bit digital image data (equivalent to 1H) output by the image unit (CCD/CAM BLOCK) is sent to the [XCS (IC203)] system LSI. It is here converted into 32-bit (16-bit x 2) data by the internal buffer of the LSI, and image data of 2048 x 1536 pix per frame is temporarily stored in the [internal DRAM (128 Mbyte)] of the LSI. Also, the 32-bit image data input to this LSI is used for calculations by the [auto calculation unit] and sent to the [ACS2 (IC102)] CCD processing IC of the CAM BLOCK so as to obtain a suitable AE, AWB and AF.

Recording Processing to the xD Card The image data stored in the [internal DRAM (128 Mbyte)] of the [XCS (IC203)] system LSI is sent to the signal processing block one line at a time where it undergoes unpack processing (32-bit >> 10-bit conversion, processing required prior to digital clamping, ( compensation, 10bit >> 8-bit R/G/B conversion) and YC processing (8-bit digital R/G/B signal >> Y:Cb:Cr = 4:2:2). The 8-bit Y/Cb/Cr data is then sent to the [internal buffer]. In the [internal buffer], data is arranged in a format that is easy to convert the 8-bit Y/Cb/Cr data into DCT. After going through the [JPEG calculation unit] and the [media controller], it is recorded on the xD card.

Image Reproduction from the xD Card The compressed image data from the xD card is sent to the [XCS (IC203)] system LSI as 8-bit image data. It is then sent to the [media control unit] >> [DRAM unit] >> [internal DRAM (16 Mbyte)] >> [media controller] >> [JPEG calculation unit] >> [signal processing unit]. The [signal processing unit] does the post-processing of converting the 8-bit Y/Cb/Cr signals into 8-bit R/G/B signals. At the same time, it weighs the text display signal and displays the text on the LCD UNIT via the [LCD controller]. Picture-taking system adjustment data is stored in the FLASH ROM (IC204).

(4) LCD UNIT

The digital signal sent from the [XCS (IC203)] system LSI is sent to the drive IC of the LCD UNIT via the processing unit on the LCD FPC of the LCD UNIT, where [LCD drive] and [LCD panel tonal control] are performed.

(5) Power Supply Block (DCDC BLOCK)

The power supply block is built around the DC IC (IC401). It generates the below power supplies and supplies them to the individual blocks.

3.3 V [XCS (IC203), ACS2 (IC102), V-Drv (IC101), EVR (IC206), FLASH ROM (IC204), STRB IC (IC600), MOTOR Drv (IC701), KEY IC (IC800), xD Picture Card, MAIN PWB, SUB PWB]
