Finepix A350 Repair

If your memory card is corrupted, your FujiFilm FinePix may not work.


The FujiFilm FinePix A350 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera. The camera is built around a 5.2-megapixel CCD (charge coupled device) digital sensor. Matched to the camera sensor is a 3x optical zoom lens that provides a 35mm equivalent focal length coverage of 35 mm to 105 mm. The camera has the capability to record both still and video images. As with most compact digital cameras, there are a few things you can do to repair them, but if they need to be taken apart it is best to let a trained repair technician work on it.


Instructions


1. Remove and replace the battery with a fully charged one. Digital cameras need a good source of power for them to work properly. If the battery is either too low or not supplying a consistent stream of power, your camera may not work.


2. Clean the metal contacts on both the battery and the inside of the camera's battery compartment. You can use a clean eraser on the end of a pencil and gently rub the eraser across the metal contact. This will remove any grime or film that may prevent a good contact from being established.


3. Inspect the front of the lens, looking for dust, debris or water marks. All of these can impact the quality of the pictures you taking. Clean the front of the lens with a microfiber lens-cleaning cloth. These cloths are manufactured not to leave any lint on the lens.


4. Remove and replace the memory card. If the card is either full or has become corrupted, your camera will not work.


5. Inspect the small gaps between the different lens barrels when the lens is extended. While these spaces are very small, debris, particularly grains of sand, can sometimes be lodged in there. If you see sand or other debris in there, do not use compressed air to remove the sand, as it may drive it farther into the lens. Try to remove it using a small pin or needle.
