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 dealer 
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.
Dust inside the camera and on the surface of the CCD
• 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.
• Bear in mind also that some types of soiling on the CCD 
surface cannot be removed even by an authorized 
FUJIFILM dealer. Should this occur, you can use features 
such as the despeckling function provided in the image 
processing software to remedy the problem.
