SAFETY CHECK-OUT 

After correcting the original problem, perform the following 

safety check before return the product to the customer. 

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. Check the B + voltage to see it is at the values 

specified. 

6. Make leakage - current measurements to determine 

that exposed parts are acceptably insulated from the 

supply circuit before returning the product to the 

customer.

RoHS lead-free compliance 

Because this product is RoHS lead-free compliant, use the designated after-sales parts and the designated lead-free solder 

when performing repairs. 

 

With the exception of parts and materials expressly excluded from the RoHS directive (*1), all the internal connections and 

component parts and materials used in this product are lead-free compliant (*2) under the European RoHS directive. 

*1: Excluded items (list of the main lead-related items) 

• Lead included in glass used in fluorescent tubes, electronic components and cathode-ray tubes 

• Lead in high-melting-point solder (i.e. tin-lead solder alloys that contain 85% lead or more) 

• Lead in ceramic electronic parts (piezo-electronic devices) 

• Mercury contained in fluorescent tubes is also excluded. 

*2: Definition of lead-free 

A lead content ratio of 0.1 wt% or less in the applicable locations (solder, terminals, electronic components, etc.) 

 

RoHS: 

The name of a directive issued by the European Parliament aimed at restricting the use of 

certain designated hazardous substances included in electrical and electronic equipment. 

Designated substances (6): Lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and 

polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) 

 

When carrying out repairs, use a designated lead-free solder, bearing in mind the differing work practices for conventional 

solder (eutectic) and lead-free solder. 

• Differences in the soldering work for lead-free and eutectic solder 

When the soldering work practices for eutectic solder and lead-free solder are compared, the main differences are as shown 

below. In particular, when lead-free solder is used, the solder tends to be less workable than when eutectic solder is used. 

Accordingly, the soldering techniques used must take that into account.

Difference 

The solder starts melting later. 

Poor wetting 

Solder feed rate is difficult to control. 

Wetting the insides of through holes is especially 

difficult. 

During repairs (or modifications) removing solder 

from inside through holes is difficult. 

There is serious carbonization of the soldering iron. 

The surface is not glossy. 

Countermeasure 

The initial melting point of lead-free solder is high, so you 

have to get used to it. 

Move the tip of the soldering iron around to heat the entire 

connection to the melting temperature and assist wetting. 

Use the solder (wire) diameter and soldering iron that are 

best suited to connection being soldered. 

First apply solder to the area immediately around the 

through hold and then feed the solder into the hole. 

Use a suitable wicking wire (with a suitable method and 

heating) and a suction tool. 

Either put solder onto the soldering iron tip after completing 

the work, or turn the iron off frequently. 

Learn to recognize the appearance of the surface.

• Setting temperature during lead-free soldering 

• Lead-free solder melting temperature 

The melting point of eutectic (Sn-Pb) solder is 183°C, while the melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Ag-Cu) is 30°C higher 

at 220°C. 

• Soldering iron tip temperature 

The temperature setting for the soldering iron used should be such that the tip of the soldering iron is at the correct 

bonding temperature for the connection. This temperature is normally set at around 100°C higher than the melting point of 

the solder. 

However, the actual temperature should take into account the shape and size of the soldering iron tip, the heat tolerance 

of the connection and the workability of that temperature. 

• Correct bonding temperature 

The correct bonding temperature refers not to the temperature of the heat source, but to the bonding temperature that will 

give the best bond strength. 

• Precautions when soldering with lead-free solder 

• Soldering iron maintenance 

Because of the high soldering iron temperature in lead-free soldering, there is rapid carbonization of the flux adhering to 

the tip of the soldering iron. 

(1) Always cover the tip of the soldering iron with solder when it is not being used. 

(2) If the tip is black from carbonization, wipe it gently with a paper towel soaked in alcohol until the solder will wet. 

• Uniform heating of the board and components 

To ensure that the lead-free solder wets the entire surface of the pattern and the lands despite its poor wetting 

characteristics, you must move the tip of the soldering iron over a wide area to raise the temperature of the entire 

connection. 

• Soldering iron 

A soldering iron with a temperature control is best. 

4


• Solder wire (thread) 

Use the lead-free solders specified below. 

Solder type: Sn96.5Ag3Cu0.5 (Displayed symbol: SnAgCu) 

Wire diameter: 0.6, 0.8 or 1.0 mm 

Sample: 

lead-free 

Wire diameter 0.8mm 

Solder type (Displayed symbol) 

SnAgCu 

• Flux 

Conventional flux can be used. 

• Solder application wires (mesh, wicking wire, etc.) 

Conventional application wires can be used.

1. General 

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. 

EV: 

A number 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 refers to the number of images (frames) that are photographed or played 

back per second. For example, when 10 frames are continuously photographed in a 1- 

second interval, the frame rate is expressed as 10 fps. 

For reference, TV images are displayed at 30 fps (NTSC). 

JPEG: 

Joint Photographic Experts Group 

A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The higher the compression 

rate, the greater the loss of quality in the decompressed (restored) 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. 

Smear: 

A phenomenon specific to CCDs whereby white streaks appear on the image when there 

is a very strong light source, such as the sun or reflected sunlight, in the photography 

screen. 

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. 

Exif Print: 

Exif Print Format is a newly revised digital camera file format that contains a variety of 

shooting information for optimal printing.

3-3. Functions of Primary Blocks 

3-3-1. Technical Outline 

• Equipped with a 1/2.5-inch Super CCD HR (with 4.1 effective megapixels) and a Fujinon 3x optical zoom lens. 

• Features a new image signal processing LSI chip, called the XCS2R_IC (IC204, CSP_IC), built into the MAIN PWB 

ASSY. This CPU incorporates the standard peripheral I/O functions as well as the peripheral functions required for still 

image processing into a single chip. Standard peripheral I/O consists of the interrupt controller, DMA controller, clock 

controller, SDRAM controller, block selection controller, serial I/O, multifunction timer, monitoring timer, programmable I/O 

ports, USB 2.0 (Full Speed), microprocessor ADC, microprocessor DAC, image processing circuit, JPEG compression/ 

expansion circuit, display control circuit, still image processing and card interface circuit. 

• In the white balance procedure, an algorithm has been installed that provides an estimation of the light source used for 

shooting based on the brightness and light source color detected when the shot was taken, and a white balance (WB) 

compensation function based on that estimation. The new algorithm is designed to prevent “hunting” due to field-of-view 

slippage by providing more accurate brightness and color detection, and to allow the installation of a powerful algorithm 

for distinguishing between the light source and the original subject colors. 

• Flash brightness is adjusted using the CCD-TTL method in which the flash brightness is calculated from the CCD 

feedback data generated by the pre-flash. 

Explanation of the imaging circuit functions 

• Analog video signals output from the CCD (1/2.5-inch with 4.1 effective megapixels) undergo pseudo-color correction 

processing, adaptive interpolation processing, amplification and signal mixing in the BCS-R_IC (IC104; CSP_IC). The 

converted digital signals are then sent to the single-chip image signal processing LSI chip, known as XCS2R_IC (IC204, 

CSP_IC). 

• Input data from the CCD 

* The 10-bit digital image data (corresponding to 1H) sent from the imaging circuit (BCS-R) is sent to XCS2R_IC, buffered 

in the chip’s IBFC and replaced by 16-bit (96 MHz) data. The replaced 16-bit (96 MHz) image data is then stored in the 

XCS2R_IC [SDRAM] via the XCS2R_IC [I/O BUFFER]. The image data for each frame is temporarily stored in the 

XCS2R_IC [SDRAM]. 

* At the same time, the AE for [AUTO] is calculated using the 10-bit image data input to XCS2R_IC and the data required 

for AE, AWB and AF is sent to the XCS2R_IC [SDRAM]. In the XCS2R_IC [SDRAM], the data is sent serially to AFE_CS 

to obtain the correct AE, AWB and AF. 

• Recording onto an xD-Picture card 

The image data stored in SDRAM is converted to 16-bit (96-MHz) data by [IBFC] in XCS2R_IC one line at a time and 

then sent to [YC PRO]. In [IBFC], the 32-bit Y and C signals are each converted to 8-bit Y, Y, Cb and Cr signals and sent 

to the XCS2R_IC [SDRAM]. The image data stored in the XCS2R_IC [SDRAM] is compressed using [JPEG] in 

XCS2R_IC and then recorded sequentially onto the xD-Picture card via [MEDIA] in XCS2R_IC. 

• Playing back images from an xD-Picture card 

The compressed image data from the xD-Picture card is sent to XCS2R_IC and stored in the XCS2R_IC [SDRAM] via 

[MEDIA]. The compressed image data stored in the XCS2R_IC [SDRAM] is expanded using [JPEG] and again stored in 

the XCS2R_IC [SDRAM]. The expanded image data is sent to [YC PRO] via [IBFC]. In [YC PRO], gain control and 

aperture processing is applied for the brightness signals and color difference signals, after which the data is again stored 

in the XCS2R_IC [SDRAM]. The image data is then displayed via [ENCD] and [D/A]. 

• In movie shooting mode 

The 10-bit digital image data output from the imaging unit is converted to 8-bit Y and C signals by the XCS2R_IC [YC 

PRO] and sent to the XCS2R_IC [SDRAM]. The image data is compressed using [JPEG] in XCS2R_IC and again stored 

in the XCS2R_IC [SDRAM]. The compressed data is then recorded sequentially onto the xD-Picture card via [MEDIA] in 

XCS2R_IC. 

• The imaging system adjustment data is stored in FLASH_ROM (IC201). 

Explanation of the LCD controller functions 

• The R, G and B signals processed in the XCS2R_IC image signal processor are output to the LCD panel via [LCD 

CONST]. 

LCD Unit 

• The LCD monitor (1.8-inch 77,000 pixels) used in the camera uses a low-temperature polysilicon TFT color LCD screen. 

Power Supply Section 

• Power supply circuits constructed in the core of the HPS_IC (IC313) create the following power supplies, which are 

supplied to each block.

4-5. Adjustment software installation 

4-5-1. Various downloading software decompressions, preservation methods, and notes 

The PC adjustment softwares are in a specified Web server, 

and both of these are the compression of ZIP form files. 

Therefore, after downloading these compression files 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 and the firmware are described 

to the following. 

* The PC adjustment soft decompression and preservation 

method 

FxA400 W PC Soft Ver.1.00 

ZJ00950-100.zip 

 

 

 

The sdjustment software is downloaded from WEB, and 

software is installed in the PC. 

We have uploaded the “PC Adjustment Software 

(ZJ00950-100.zip) for “FinePixA400_W” on our website: 

(http://fujifilm-di.intranets.com/). 

 

“ZJ00950-100” is a compression of “ZIP type” file. 

The “A21_nose_cal”, “FinePixA400_W”, “sg3” and 

“SU1830” folder can be done by extracting it by 

“Compression software”. 

Copy the “A21_nose_cal”, “FinePixA400_W”, “sg3” and 

“SU1830” folder to the “C” drive on the Adjustment PC. 

 

When all the folders have been copied to the C:drive, 

double-click on [C:\ FinePixA400_W\ FFW.exe] to start the 

adjustment software. 

(Note) 

* Specify the preservation drive for C drive if it 

isdecompression software which can specify the 

preservation drive. 

* Similarly, defrost without making a new folder if it is 

decompression software which can be defrosted without 

making a new folder. 

* Defrost simply if the decompression software which you 

have cannot specify the drive specification and the folder 

making.

4-5-2. Installation of DSC jig driver 

* Since this camera uses the USB for communications with 

the personal computer, in order to start the PC adjustment 

software, [the DSC jig driver] needs to be installed in the 

personal computer beforehand. 

* The DSC jig driver is the same as that for the FinePix 

S7000, so if this jig driver software is already installed in the 

personal computer, it is not necessary to install it. 

The procedure is given below. 

 

DSC jig driver (ZJ00684-100.ZIP) is downloaded from Web 

server (http://fujifilm-di.intranets.com/). 

 

Defrost the downloaded compression software 

 

 

Double-click setup.exe in the folder of defrosted ZJ00684- 

100 and install Fuji FILM DSC Jig Driver as follows. 

 

Install the software in [C:\ProgramFiles\Fjig] according to the 

instructions on the PC's screen. 

4-5-3. Adjustment softwareinitiation method 

When the folder has been copied to the C drive, double-click 

on the file C:\FinePixA400_W\ffw.exe (Fig.4-5-5) to start the 

adjustment software.

4-6. Initial Settings of the Adjustment Software 

* The initial settings are already written in the "FFW.ini" file, 

therefore perform the following procedure to the letter. 

Note that, if you change file names, the software will not 

start up. 

* The initial settings of steps 3 to 6 are already set in the 

"FFW.ini" file. Therefore, you need only to check them. 

* Do not rewrite the user program (FxA400_W_0.ff). If the 

program is rewritten, the adjustment software will not 

startup. 

 

Double-click on the "FFW.exe" execute file of the adjustment 

software to open the "FinePix A400_W Adjustment Software 

Startup" screen (Fig. 4-6-1).

Cautions When Adjusting 

*1) FinePix A400 cannot adjust the EVR data reading and 

writing.(Details are right tables.) 

*2) End Setting returns the camera from the Jig mode to 

the Product Mode. 

End Setting is required when using the PC 

adjustment software, even when replacing boards or 

units other than those noted above. Failure to run 

End Setting will prevent identification as Mass 

Storage. 

When the camera is connected to the PC, and 

prevent communication with the PC.

4-8. [R] : Flash Memory Reset 

 

Only reset the flash memory when the MAIN PWB ASSY has been replaced. 

When the MAIN PWB ASSY has been replaced, always reset the flash memory before making any other adjustments. 

If the flash memory is reset when the MAIN PWB ASSY has not been replaced, all the adjusted data reverts to the default 

settings. 

In this event, adjust all the settings. 

(Excludes firmware downloading.) 

After the MAIN PWB ASSY has been replaced, proceeding with other adjustments without first resetting the flash memory 

will prevent the successful completion of the adjustments. 

(In some cases the camera may be completely disabled.) 

If this occurs, set the camera to jig mode again and then reset the flash memory. 

 

In the adjustment item selection screen, select [R]: Reset flash memory. 

-->The flash memory reset confirmation screen appears.

4-9. [F4] : CCD Data Input 

CCD data input is required when the CCD PWB or LENS 

CONST or MAIN PWB ASSY is replaced. 

[Method of acquiring CCD data] 

1. When you exchange CCD PWB 

--> It is attached to CCD PWB. 

2. When you exchange LENS CONST 

--> It is attached to LENS CONST. 

3. When you exchange MAIN PWB ASSY 

--> Creating a CCD data floppy disk when the MAIN PWB 

ASSY has been replaced. 

* The following example assumes the use of the serial 

No. shown at right. 

 

Read the serial number of LENS ASSY. 

The numbers shown at right are as follows. 

First line: 562E (four digits) 

Bottom line: 1484 (four digits) 

The name of the CCD data file containing this number is 

“562E1484.dat”. 

Cautions: 

1. The CCD defect data file extension is “dat”. 

Depending upon Windows settings, this extension may 

not be displayed. In this case, change the settings to 

ensure that it is displayed. 

2. In addition to numbers, letters are also used in the CCD 

serial No. The data file name is instructed in the same 

manner in this case. 

3. Ensure that the CCD serial No. is read correctly. If the file 

name is read incorrectly CCD data for another camera 

will be loaded when this file is used. 

562E 

1484 

(http://fujifilm-di.intranets.com/) 

 

Download the ZIP file of top four digits from Web server 

(http://fujifilm-di.intranets.com/). 

Open [ZJ00951-100] in the CCD defect data folder, and 

download “562E.zip”.

(Destination setting, USB ID write, Product mode setting) 

1. The End setting consist of the following settings. 

* Destination setting 

* USB ID write 

* Product mode setting (mass storage identification) 

2. The setting must always be run when the adjustment software is terminated. Failure to run Terminal Setting will prevent 

identification as Mass Storage when the camera is connected to the PC. 

3. USB ID write details 

1) USB ID write requires that the USB device (in this case FinePix A400) be unique throughout the world. For this reason, 

each device has a unique ID as determined by the USB standard. If multiple devices with the same USB ID are connected 

to a single PC, the PC will be unable to identify each USB device, thus preventing operation.
