New Camera
-
At last! I have finally procured a wonderful little digital camera for myself - a Fujifilm FinePix A-203. Really not a pro camera, but ideal for casual stuff. If anyone has dealt with these I have two questions: I saved some renamed jpegs onto its card, and when I arrived home and switched the camera on the card looked empty. I wonder if this is maybe because it doesn't recognise some filenames on the card. This brings me to my other question: I left the software CD in Cape Town, so I couldn't connect via USB and check the contents of the card. I need to find a copy of the software somewhere - anybody?

Well, for what it's worth, I'd think you could locate the drivers searching Google. If you have Windows XP, it should connect to the camera without any additional software, I guess as long as the camera acts like a recognizable device. Maybe W2000 can do that too. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

most cameras save files in EXIF format, which is (roughly) a subset of standard JPEG/JFIF. if you modified those images at all with an external program, they were likely saved in traditional JPEG/JFIF format, and so your camera no longer recognizes them. the difference between JPEG/JFIF and EXIF is very slight (just a change in the order of the application-defined data blocks). -c

We have 2 fuji cameras at home, can't remember the model numbers, but they both use the same software to display and extract the images from the cameras, via a usb lead. It's called Exif Viewer, I think? Anyway, I didn't think (though I could be wrong) that you could send stuff to the camera card via this software? So maybe you stored the files to your pcs hard disk, unless you have some different software? I confess I didn't really read the manual, I just wanted to rip off the pics and store them on my pc/cd, which it does well enough for me. Trouble is, now I have a larhe quantity of unreadable file names that I really should organise and get printed off sometime. Can anyone recommend a decent photo organiser, and a printing service in the UK? Debbie

I paid around 200 EUR for it in Oct 2002. For your question: I think the camera needs to have special names for the JPG's, some kind of prefix and an incrementing number for each image When I was young my mother told me to clean up my room, I told her -1!
