Cleaning the CCD
This camera is equipped with a CCD photosensitive element. This CCD is located behind the
shutter screen.
If dust or other soiling attaches to the surface of the CCD and pictures are then taken, this soiling may
appear as spots in the image, depending on the camera settings and the type of subject. If this occurs,
the CCD must be cleaned. Because the surface of the CCD is extremely fragile, wherever possible the
camera should be returned to an authorized FUJIFILM dealer for cleaning (for a charge).
Any repairs carried out by an authorized FUJIFILM service facility to CCDs that were scratched
or damaged during cleaning by the customer will be charged to the customer. Note that such
repairs will probably involve replacing the CCD and will be expensive.

When cleaning the camera, always use the AC power

◆
Dust inside the camera and on the surface of the CCD
◆
i Before a FUJIFILM digital camera is shipped from the factory, it is carefully checked for dust
inside the camera and on the surface of the CCD to ensure that it conforms to FUJIFILM
standards.
i Bear in mind also that some types of soiling on the CCD surface cannot be removed even by an
authorized FUJIFILM service facility.
Should this occur, you can use features such as the despeckling function provided in the image
processing software to remedy the problem.
