Fuji FinePix A400
Editor's Review
Along with the A500, the Fuji FinePix A400 is meant to be an affordable camera for mid-level users. The A400 offers a somewhat small 4 megapixel sensor and standard 3x optical zoom into a little frame. It's an adequate camera for those looking for a mainstream, bare-bones camera that's easy to handle and easy to produce O.K. pictures, but you may want to check out the virtually identical A500, which has a 5 megapixel sensor.
Specifications
- 4 megapixels
- 3x optical zoom
- JPEG file format
- ISO 100-400
- movie mode
- 2 AA batteries
- 1.8" LCD screen
- Part Number: FinePix A400
- Release Date: Jan 11, 2006

Write Error on screen (Karen — 11/14/2010)
After I take a picture I get a message on the screen says Write Error what does this mean and how do I fix the problem? None of the pictures I took are there.
reply to this comment
Liam McCabe (11/15/2010)
That means that the camera couldn't save the picture to the memory card, which either means the card is corrupted/broken (it happens) or there's a problem with the camera itself. Try a new card first, and if there's still a write error, then there's a problem with the camera.

My Fujifilm Finepix A400 digital camera couldnot interface with my laptop window 7. What do i rectify the problem?
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (10/14/2010)
You probably need to update the drivers. Is your laptop running 64 bit? Some dont' have drivers for that. Either way, you need to go Fuji's website to look for updated drivers.

Check your shooting mode. If it's set to [mountain icon] what I assume is landscape, the flash won't fire. So try resetting your camera and give it another go. I'd also consider going to the Fuji website to download and install any available firmware update.

reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (03/16/2010)
The batteries are probably under powered. You want batteries with an mAh of at least 2500-3000 to handle it's high energy needs. Basic alkalines or heavy duty AAs won't cut it.

How much are these Cameras worth now??
reply to this comment
Liam McCabe (03/02/2010)
Do you mean how much should you pay for it, or how much could you sell it for? Not much, in either case. In digital camera terms, this camera is ancient -- whatever you might pay for it today, you can get a newer, much better camera for the same price, I'm sure of that. Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $30-40 for the A400 now.

How can I transfer movie files from my computer to the camera? (anonymous18 — 08/10/2008)

Ben Keough (08/13/2008)
Hi Anon,
Digital cameras usually won't display an image or video that's been edited outside the camera, even if it was originally created on the same camera. However, you should be able to store it on the camera anyway, if you just need a way to transport it from one computer to another.
To do so (assuming you're using XP or Vista), just plug it in via USB, find the camera in the list of devices under My Computer, open the camera's folder and drag & drop.
Hope this helps!

Another option is using aUSB card reader. It's much easier than trying to sort out crappy camera drivers and bloated sofware. A card reader is about $20 and will cause your sd card to be read as a drive on the PC. Then it's a simple drag and drop as well.
But Ben is right. You'll have trouble playing it back in camera as the video has been altered and may have been encoded differently than before.

The camera probably can't read the format. You'd need to use the same codec and naming structure otherwise it won't read it. And often if it comes from another camera, it won't read it at all.

by James DeRuvo (02/05/2008)
This can happen in digital cameras. Read errors. It can be a corrupted segment on the card or you need to reset your camera. What I would recommend you do is get a memory card reader and plug the card into it. Take it to the PC and move your pictures off the card. Then reformat the card.
You can also get a photo recover utility like "F-Recovery," if the card is corrupted to the point that even the reader can't get the pictures. You can then use the utility to recover your pictures and reformat your card.
I'd also recommend that while you're at it, swing by FujiUSA's website and look for a firmware update.

is there a specific xd card for the A400 (pamally — 01/13/2008)
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (01/15/2008)
Because of it's age, I don't think you want to go above 1GB in a card. Unless Fuji has written a firmware update to accomodate a larger card.
Allow me to make an pitch for using several cards, rather than one large one. Reason being, insurance. Any memory card can fail or become corrupted. And when you're on vacation the last thing you want is to lose the opportunity to take pictures until you can recover that media card with a software utility. If your card goes bad, swapping another one for it at that moment is of advantage so you can keep taking pics. Then, later when
you're in front of your PC, you can use a utility like "F-Recovery" ( filerecoverytools.com/produ... ) to get back your pictures and recover your card.
No need to lose the moment because you relied on one card one when several can solve that problem. At the very least, you want to get more than one of whatever size you settle on.
One last thing. Cards have different speeds. The faster a card is, the quicker it'll save the photo and cycle to be ready for another shot. In the end, your camera is only going to be as fast as it's slowest link in the chain. So check for speed when you purchase a card.

Get a multi-card reader with an xD slot and insert the memory card to the reader.
Connecting the reader to the USB port of your computer will usually let you see the pictures. If it doesn't, go to <a href="z-a-recovery.com/digital-im... site</a> and download a copy of Zero Assumption Photot recovery.
Follow the instructions on the same web page to recover your photos and save them in a directory of your computer.
Re-insert the card to your camera and you would be able to see the pictures. If it doesn't, rub the contact points with pencil eraser. If it still doesn't work, you may have to format the card with the camera.
If everything fails, probably a new card is required.

how to retrieve photo deleted by mistake is this possible?? (fortunagro — 07/22/2007)
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (07/23/2007)
Absolutely. YOu can download picture file recovery software from the internet. There are dozens of options. I use F-Recovery, but I think it only works with Sd cards and your Fuji uses xD if I'm not mistaken. But you can do a google search and check on F-Recovery's abilities. It works great.
The photograph isn't really erased, per se. The first letter in the file is changed to earmark that space on the card to be over written. So what you'll do is take your card out of the camera and place it in a memory card reader plugged into your PC. Then access it via the recovery utility and it should be a simple matter to recover it.

Your best bet would probably be to pick up a used A400 from ebay. It'll probably cost more money to repair than it's worth. But it's worth a call to Fuji. They may even send you one for free or a few bucks.
But then you have to fix it.

by James DeRuvo (06/11/2007)
Take the card out and put it back in. It may be that it's not properly seated against the contacts. Do that a few times. If that doesn't work, slip it into a memory card reader and check it with your PC to verify if the card can be read at all. If it can't, I recommend a utility called "F-Recovery" which can recover the card and get your pictures back. I'd then reformat the card.

This is a common problem with digital cameras when the batteries are near dead or underpowered. Replace with high energy batteries (or at least alkalines) and you should have no troubles.

by James DeRuvo (06/20/2007)
Well new batteries can still be underpowered. And often, if you purchase batteries in bulk, it isn't uncommon that some or many of them are near dead or worse. Batteries bought in bulk tend to have a long turnover and such, can lose much of their battery power before they are used. And many batteries such as AAs are general purpose batteries and are not designed for the high energy use of digital cameras and the flashes they trigger. As such, I recommend using high energy batteries designed for digital photography. Varta is a good brand. They are usually sold in camera shops, are long lasting (because they are sold in small quantities) put out alot of energy.
But I trust you're using Alkalines, so that shouldn't be the issue.
Did you drop it, by chance?

by James DeRuvo (06/20/2007)
A little more poking around and I've found that several of the Fuji models are prone to zoom errors which have forced owners to request and RMA return for repair or replacement. If your camera is still under warranty, this is probably your best option at this point. Absent that, repair estimates will probably cost north of 50% what you paid for it and as such, you may be better off going with another brand.

adil hussain (06/20/2007)
well that doesnt sound good, my warranty is over, wat are some good but not too costly (below $600 range)
reply to this comment
by James DeRuvo (06/20/2007)
Below $600? Oh, there are plenty ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) in that range. I am currently testing the Olympus SP-550UZ ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) and have so far been quite pleased with the results. 7.1 MP, 18x zoom, image stabilization and some great scene based program features including a 15fps burst mode. This is great for sports photography.
It also has in camera editing features such as cropping, sepia and black/white alerations, nite modes, super macro mode for REALLY close up shots, panoramic guides for shooting multiple shots to stitch into a panarama, even a mode for shooting documents.
I'm really enjoying it. If I had to complain, however, I have found the menu structure wanting and difficult to use on the fly. But other than that, it's a top notch camera.
But all is not lost. It may be an easy fix. It's certainly worth sending it in for a repair estimate. And if you're lucky, there's a recall for a defect which would cause it to be fixed or replaced for free.
request the RMA anyway. There's enough precedent for you to have just cause. And besides, all they can say is no.

I had the same problem. The zoom came out and back and it was written "zoom error" on the lcd pannel.
I took with my hand the zoom when it came out and hold it not to go back. The screen was trouble and it was impossible to have a good picture... So, lost for lost, I pressed on the biggest ring of the zoom. I eared a "crack" and it came back one step. I switched off and on, and miracle ! Now it works !!!
I think I'm lucky, but if the repairs are more expensive, you have nothing to loose, doing this.

I hope this didn't happen as a result of impact damage. But it may need a good cleaning. Or blowing out. Is it still under warranty? You may be able to do an RMA return for repair or replacement. Check with Fuji about any product recall notices.
If it isn't under warranty, go ahead and get an estimate. Be advised, however, that if repair costs in excess of 50% what you paid for it, you're much better off just buying a new one.

A few things. Try and do a reset to factory default settings the instructions should be in your manual. Then see if there's a firmware update or product advisories on Fujis website. There's a chance it's covered under warranty if it isn't due to impact damage.

It is usually a camera fault, the manual ( fujifilm.com/products/digit... ) recommends turning the camera on, then off again to see if it works. If not, you should contact Fuji ( fujifilm.com/support/index.... ) for support.

Unfortunately I don't think this camera offers audio on the Movie Mode.

What to do when the lens does not retract (Jim jerome — 10/02/2006)
reply to this comment
David Parker (10/03/2006)
Generally speaking, a stuck lens is a bad situation for a digital camera. It's possible some dirt has got caught inside the camera somewhere; I've read that a blast of compressed air sometimes works to shake that loose. But unfortunately you might have to get prepared to look for a new camera (think of it as an opportunity to get a new, top-of-the line camera!).
Good luck-

Anne --
These cameras are not designed to be repaired (generally not even by the company that makes them). They just replace them with a reconditioned model and charge you a lot of money for doing this.
Any option you have is most likely going to cost more than to buy a new camera. While it's possible some simple physical connection is broken, it's much more likely that a circuit on a chip is the problem. Getting the camera apart, then diagnosing the problem (correctly) then buying the replacement part (even if harvesting from a dead camera of the same model purchased on eBay) will probably cost as much as buying a new camera that's most likely several times better, faster, and unbroken.
And, for about $100 you can get an updated version of your camera, the Fuji A400 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ). For a little more money you can get a really great, highly rated cameras, the Fuji F470 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ).
It's a throw-away world. Too bad, isn't it?

I bought a replacement LCD on Ebay for my Finepix A303. I unscrewed the 3 tiny screws around the camera, allowing the back cover to come off easily. Removed, one screw secured the LCD screen. Gently pulled out the LCD with the cable. The new part easily fit in there. Put all the screws back in place and it worked like a charm! I spent around $20.00 for the replacement screen. If you don't see one right away, keep looking on Ebay, a good deal is bound to pop up!

Good Camera
(Matt — 08/07/2009)
I've owned this camera for a couple of years. It is a great camera for those of us who like to take pictures on a fairly regular basis, and store them on our computers. I haven't tried printing photos taken yet, but it is great for storing your memories in a digital format. The quality is great, and the camera is very easy to use. Definitley get a memory card, or you're limited to about 15 pictures for every event.

This camera is not good...
(d — 01/21/2009)
the buttons stick like crazy, the pictures are bad quality, always takes red eyes and doesn't record sound or videos for more than 60 seconds.

great camera
(Anna — 01/05/2008)
This camera is exceptional for its price. I have friends that have paid hundreds of dollars for cameras that are unreliable. This is perfect for the intermediate photographer. Motion shots are tricky, but aren't they always? Great investment.

watch what batteries you use!!
(nichole emerick — 11/02/2007)
certain batteries will not even work right in this camera. its my first digital camera and i really like it other than that.

Well...
(Sara — 04/10/2007)
I like this camera. It's good for filming short movies and taking high-quality photos. I wish so much that it had audio for the filming. It also makes me mad that I constantly have to go running back and forth from the battery charger, because this camera sucks the life out of every battery I put in it. But it's still lightweight, affordable, and fun to use.

Great Digital Camera
(Fritz Huggins — 09/16/2006)
I love this Camera. It is actually my first digital camera that have bought. It takes great photos and is quite easy to use. The downside of this camera is that it does not carry a built in speaker and the TV output only carries a video line out but no audio line

It's a keeper - perfect briefcase companion
(Trojanlrey — 08/28/2006)
I travel a lot. Just wanted a decent pocket size camera. Features of A400 are above average. Very forgiving when using widest angle. Prone to shake when you zoom and hold in hand. The solve is to use the 2-second timer and place on firm surface or mini tripod. xD card required. Very reliable.

No DC adapter
(anonymous — 07/18/2006)
I enjoy my camera but am burning up batteries and going to re-charge constantly, during the course of learning how to operate my camera. I am VERY DISAPPOINTED with the fact that I cannot by an AC Adapter at the time of purchase, and that I am informed I must write to the supplier in Ontario - I am in B.C. A real pain in the neck. Surely there could be a local supplier at least, where one could purchase the AC adapter.

very easy to use and take great pictures
(anonymous — 07/18/2006)
i was out at a bbq last week and it was dark out i did not think the pics would turn out so good it look great it was dark and grain it was a great pictures and the self timer is a good assest. i dont like how long it takes to show you the picture after it been taken. and that when you take the pic there ia about a 3 second delay be for the image is actually capperted so other than that i love this camera and would recommend it for a beginner's use

It's Affordable and very good quality!
(John Davis Scott — 06/08/2006)
I got my baby on sale and i thought twice before buying it, but since it was so affordable i said i might as well try it. Well i tried right after i got home and WOW! it's too cheap for a good piece of equiptment! I sure hope i could show you the picure of my car that i took but dont know how.
Well if you get to see one and want to buy? Dont hesitate...

Takes best portraits
(anonymous — 07/18/2006)
very compact - all controls are nearby- same knob for zoom in and out. Lens need not be open for reviewing the already taken pictures. Shutter release is slight sluggish. Being very light, difficult to hold the camera steady.Takes time to show the captured image.View screen is not so good.Cant believe that such small stuff can take so great pictures.Good for beginners as well as for taking secret photos.
