* 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.

3-3.About the Adjustment PC Soft
3-3-1.Attention at DSC jig driver
FinePix A101 uses the USB cable to communicate with the personal computer.
When FinePix A101 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 .
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 ( Fx_A101.ff) in the base
program (FFW.exe). A basic program is FinePix A101 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 mak-
ing.
[Install]
1) When the decompression is only done, the folder named ZJ00481-100 is automatically made.
2) Copy the folder named FinePix2300UE in this folder in C drive, installation is finished.
The folder of ZJ00481-100 becomes unnecessary at the end , and delete this folder.
