# Linux and Fuji FinePix digital cameras

Last updated 23 September 2002

### Introduction

In December, 2000 I purchased a Fuji FinePix 4700 camera. A year later, I purchased a Fuji 6800. Then nine months later, in September 2002, I purchased a Fuji FinePix S602Z.

This page describes how I can transfer files to my Sony VAIO Z505HE via the USB port and using a SmartMedia PCMCIA adapter. The remarks on this page should apply to most computers equipped with a USB port or PCMCIA slot.

### Notes regarding the Fuji FinePix S602 and Linux

I early September 2002 I purchased a Fuji FinePix S602. It works as a USB drive perfectly under Linux, exactly as the 4700 or 6800.

I've now had this camera almost two months, and I love it.

General Thoughts: I went to Circuit City and looked at camera recently, and the Fuji 6900 was by far the biggest one there. This camera is "twice" as big as the Fuji 6800, and I've missed some good pictures because of that. On the other hand, the zoom is much better, so I've got some interesting photos I never would have shot with the Fuji 6800. I like the electronic view finder because it is clear and visible even in bright light, unlike the display on the back. Having a fully manual mode is much more useful than I expected; for example, with a tripod it is easy to take shots of streaking car lights by using a 10 second shutter speed and nearly closed aperature.

Batteries I bought two sets of rechargeable 1800 mAh batteries, and they last a long time (several days at my normal usage level; over 300 pictures according to reviewers). Later I bought Gold Peak 2000 batteris from zbattery.com, and I've been very very happy with how long they last.

Storage The Fuji S602 takes both microdrive and smartmedia simultaneously. I bought a 1GB microdrive (with PCMCIA adapater so I can connect it to my laptop) for $245 to suplement my 128MB smartmedia card. I take pictures at the highest compressed setting, so each shot takes about 2.4MB. Thus I can only fit just over 40 pics on my smartmedia card, and the microdrive is sometimes handy.

I typically take pics that use 2.4MB each. I then download them to Linux and use the convert program to recompress them. I can't see a difference in quality, but typically the files recompress to less than 1MB each; I suspect my laptop uses a more sophisticated and processor intensive recompression method. If I initially shoot the pictures at a lower compression then they look worse than if I shoot at high compression and recompress.

Movies I shoot them in avi QVGA format (since I don't have hardware fast enough to play VGA movies), then re-encode them in divx format using mencoder. (I use these scripts, some of which have nontrivial requirements that I haven't explained here. Attempt to use at your own risk.) The divx files are usually about one-fifth the size of the original avi files, and they do look a little worse; depending on what I'm shooting this is acceptable for such a huge reduction in size. One problem is that I can't read divx files into the video sequencing program MainActor in order to later edit them. This bothered me for a while, but the fact is that I shouldn't be spending my free time editing videos using a closed-source program.

You can see the pictures I've taken with this camera by clicking here, selecting ascent11, then looking for pictures taken after 3 September 2002.

### Notes regarding the new Fuji FinePix 6800Zoom and Linux

The FinePix 6800 is a successor to the FinePix 4700. I recently purchased a FinePix 6800, and reading (and writing!) pictures from it also works well under Linux:

       William,

       I thought I would drop you a line to indicate that the
       instructions on your webpage also apply to the Fuji
       FinePix 6800Zoom.  It also acts as a usb-storage device.
       Incidentally, if you install the hotplug application
       the necessary modules will be loaded automatically.

       See http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/.

       I am using an rpm for hotplug-2001_02_14-15.

       Regards,
           Alex

Warning: I have a friend who has a Fuji 6800, and neither he nor I could get it to work as a USB device with Linux. I could plug my camera into my laptop and it worked fine. When I pluged in his, which looked identical, it didn't work. His camera correctly downloads pictures unders Windows. (We did have his camera in the proper mode, i.e., not the webcam mode.)

### My thoughts about the Fuji 4700 camera

#### Introduction

I'm generally very happy with this camera. The interface is fast and the small camera takes relatively good pictures and 80 second AVI movies with sound. There is some debate because the camera is capable of creating 4.3 megapixel resolution pictures even though it has a CCD with about half that number of pixels. I won't address that here, except to remark that because of the unique layout of the CCD, I find that low-light pictures come out nicely, which is important for me.

Update: It is August, 2001, and I've had my Fuji 4700 for 8 months now. I've carried it with me around the world, and have taken maybe 6000 pictures. The camera has not broken, and I have no immediate plans to buy a new camera, though sometimes photos look unusually blurly along the very left edge and the LED on the back is dusty.

I use The GIMP to edit most of my photos, and find the auto-levels feature and cropping the most useful. I sometimes use the Linux program MainActor to edit videos that I create using the Fuji 4700. This program is easy to use, but perhaps crashes more than one would hope; I think it's a good deal for the price they charge.

#### Hair and dust under the LED

Dust and a piece of my hair has made its way under the circular black and white LCD on the back of the camera. This is a design flaw that is mildly annoying but doesn't cause any serious problems.

### USB

Linux Kernel version 2.4.2 and greater has support for the Fuji 4700. You must include vfat support and support for USB mass storage and insert the "usb-storage" module, then plug the camera into the USB port and type

       mkdir /mnt/fuji
       mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/fuji

Now your camera's files are available in the /mnt/fuji directory.

#### Update

I just tested my camera with Linux 2.4.6 and it works. Here's my kernel .config file. Typing /sbin/lsmod reveals:

       [was@form 19July01]$ /sbin/lsmod

#### Linux kernel 2.4.0

With version 2.4.0, the following can be done: (by Eric Whiting).

               FROM: Eric Whiting
               DATE: 10/11/2000 17:15:09
               SUBJECT:  [Linux-usb-users] fuji 4700 finepix camera

               I got my fuji4700 to show up in a 2.4test9 in the usb-storage mode.
               Very nice interface.

               I blindly fiddled with the us_unusual_dev struct until I found a combo
               that worked. Is there a better way to do it?

               The first 4 numbers came from the syslog. The two strings are mostly
               fluff. I`m a little lost on the last line where it lists the transport
               and protocol and flags.

               What is the `right` way to configure this device? And how do you get
               new devices into the official source once you are sure you have it
               right?

               eric

               This is what I used for my camera -- don`t take them as good values --
               they are just guesses that happened to work ok.

               /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/storage/usb.c

               static struct us_unusual_dev us_unusual_dev_list[] = {
                       { 0x4cb, 0x0100, 0x0000, 0x2000,
                               "FUJI",
                               "FinePix4700",
                                US_SC_8020, US_PR_CB, NULL, 0},

I installed the official release of Linux 2.4.0. I then modified the file /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/storage/usb.c as indicated in Eric's message above. (This will probably be unnecessary in future versions of Linux.) I configured and compiled the kernel with support for USB mass storage as a module. Then, as root, I typed

       /sbin/modprobe usb-storage

(turn on and pluged in my camera)

       mkdir /mnt/fuji
       mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/fuji

It worked perfectly!

       [was@form linux]$ ls  /mnt/fuji/dcim/100_fuji/
       dscf0728.jpg  dscf0729.jpg  dscf0730.jpg  dscf0731.jpg

I haven't noticed any problems with instability.

### Web cam mode

The Fuji 6800 and S602 have a "web cam" mode. I don't know whether or not this is supported under Linux yet. When I put my camera in web cam mode and plug it into the usb port, I get the following message in /var/log/messages:

### PCMCIA

A friend of mine (Helena Verrill) sent me a PCMCIA card in the mail. I plugged it in, then inserted the SmartMedia card with the golden connectors facing up into. Then as root I typd

       mkdir /mnt/flash
       mount /dev/hde1 /mnt/flash

It worked. It is very important to type v

       umount /mnt/flash

before removing the SmartMedia card, or your system will probably hang.

The SmartMedia Card I have says "Solid State System, Flash Disk Innovators" on it. Here's a photo:

### AVI movies

I am able to play the AVI movies that the Fuji creates using xanim. However, the sound sometimes includes a false click periodically. This is a problem with xanim, not the camera, as I don't hear the click when I play the animations under windows. Here's an AVI movie (470K) that I created using my Fuji 4700 camera. (Windows users, see this page.)

      William,

      I got it working! Someone said that it worked for him after he updated to
      Kernel 2.4.20, someone else suggested to add this to
      linux/drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h:

      UNUSUAL_DEV(  0x04cb, 0x0114, 0x0000, 0x2210,
                      "Fujifilm",
                      "FinePix 401 (DSC)",
                      US_SC_8070, US_PR_CBI, NULL, US_FL_FIX_INQUIRY),

      I tried this second solution and it worked immediately (using 2.4.19).

      Here's some more info for your fuji 4700 page - thanks for putting it on the
      web! You can add this to it if you want...

      I recently bought a fuji finepix 4800, and found the alternative ("JE") USB
      driver wouldn't work with the camera: trying to mount it as mass storage
      would lock up the terminal. This might be my VIA hardware though! The
      original usb driver with the current kernel v2.4.18 works great.

      Does anybody have any info on using this type of camera as a usb webcam?

      Guy.

      No, definitely not.  From Linux you can only mount the 4700 as a
      read-only drive.

      I don't know, but I doubt it with the 4700.  Other cameras can do that
      sort of thing...

      Hello William A Stein,
      I came across your Web page about pcmcia FlashPath and FinePix 4700. I
      use the floppy disk adapter to read the SmartMedia images from my
      FinePix 40i.

      One of the thumbnails in my family photo album page,
         http://www.wcl1.demon.co.uk/bertie/album.html

      links to a document describing how to implement my 'Album System'.  In
      that document I give the URL for downloading the driver that I use for
      the floppy disk adapter.  This driver was published (under the GPL) by
      Jason McMullan, then at Linuxcare Inc.  It works very well for me. It
      seems that McMullan's site has disappeared so my Web site may be the
      only one presently on the Internet with a Unix/Linux driver for the
      Floppy disk SmartMedia adapter!

      You may pass my stuff on to anybody who may be interested.

      Hi, William!

      Thanks for your page on the Finepix 4700!

      The shell script usbpix.tar will copy the pictures from
      the camera into a new subdirectory.  The script is now ready for any
      USB-camera that can use the usb-storage module. At the top of the
      script is the configuration. Here you can set your mount point and the
      camera sub-directory.  The script will first check if the camera is
      mounted. If it is, then it will copy the pictures into a new
      subdirectory.

      William,
              Thanks a ton for your Fuji 4700 for Linux page - it really
      helped me a bunch!  Just wanted to let you know that If you take a Fuji
      FinePix 4800Z and plug it into a stock Red Hat 7.2 install,
      everything works perfectly.  Just mount the device and copy the
      files like you state in your instructions.  Thanks again!

      I bought a 64MB card for mine for $70 almost year ago.  Such cards now
      cost MUCH less than $70 each.  For example, if you go to
      www.pricewatch.com and type "64MB smartmedia" into the search box,
      you'll get a list of online retailers who sell 64MB Smartmedia cards
      starting at $23/each.  If you intend to buy one for under $30 from an
      online retailer, let me know and I'll buy one from the same place.  I
      would love to have an extra one.

      > Is this something you recommend?  Did you install 32 MB in yours?

      I definitely recommend getting extra cards.  Also, you don't have to
      think of it as "installing 32MB" since the cards are easily removable.
      It's better to think of it as buying an extra roll of reusable film.
      (In fact, Smartmedia cards are almost as cheap as film, but takes much
      less space and can be reused indefinitely.)

      > + case.

      Be careful which case you buy for the Fuji 4700.  I bought one with a
      very linty interior, and some of that lint got under the LED display
      on the back.  This does not cause any problems when taking photos, but
      is slightly annoying.

       Best regards,
         William

      Works fine for me using 2.4.2 kernel with Red Hat 7 on an HP Omnibook 6000

- Scott Courtney sent me the following information about the Fuji 2400Z:

      "Works with kernel 2.4.0 on an ASUS A7V motherboard (Athlon Thunderbird
       CPU). Modules needed: sr_mod, vfat, fat, usbcore, usb-uhci, usb-storage,
       scsi_mod (this list, of course, depends on what's built into your monolithic
       kernel). On my machine, the SmartMedia storage appears as /dev/sda1 but your
       device name may vary depending on what other mass storage devices are
       connected."

      This was posted under the details page for the 2400Z itself,
      http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdv.php3?id=452

      You have my permission to reproduce either these comments
      or my original e-mail to you on your page, as long as you
      mention that it's the 2400 camera and not the 4700 (I don't
      want to appear to claim to have tested something that I
      haven't ).

      Your web page helped me get my Fuji FinePix 1400 going with Linux.
      I using the 2.4.2 kernel on a Intel SE440BX MB and RH 7.0.

      In my case the modules needed are usb-storage, usb-uhci, and vfat
      As I already have a SCSI disk /dev/sda, the camera mounts as /dev/sdb1 on
      /fuji1400.

      mount /dev/sdb1 /fuji1400 mounts as /fuji1400/dcim/100_fuji

      Hi William,

      thanks for the info.

      I was able to mount my FujiFilm FinePix2300 without any problems.
      I'm running RH 7.1 without and modifications whatsoever, I just did a mkdir
      /camera and then mounted /dev/sda1 /camera.

      Everything worked fine,

      Thanks again

      Hi William,

      i had trouble with accessing the leica digilux 4.3 , it is the same as
      fuji finepix 4700, only another brand.  because i have no pcmcia to
      usb adapter there had to be another way to connect the camera with my
      machine: an amd k6-III/400 on a gigabyte ga-5aa board running
      slackware 8.0 with a 2.4.5 kernel.  after long trying another things i
      found the following page, describing connecting this leica or fuji via
      usb directly to the board:

      http://www.eckhard-rueggeberg.de/Leica.html

      maybe you want to take a look at it. the page is in german, but i try
      to give you the most important informations, a little bit difficult as
      you see my english is not so good.

      here is what eckhard rueggeberg did:

      enabling as modules:

               scsi-emulation
               usbcore
               usb-ohci or usb-uhci  # depending on the controller
               usb-storage

      then the camera (the smart media card in it) can be mounted on on the
      first "emulated" scsi-device /dev/sda1 (obviously depending how many
      other scsi-emulated devices are previously mounted) with

               mount -r -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/whereever .

      that's all, now you can simply access to your smart-media in the
      camera only by connecting the camera via cable to your usb-port.

      if this mail is some informative for you and you like to have a
      translation of the page give me a short message and i will try it with
      the help of my wife, she is much better in your language.  yesterday i
      got the thing running on my normal machine, needed on whole day of
      struggling, today i try it with an older acer extensa notebook,
      fortunately with an usb-port build-in.

      greetings from germany, and thanks for your page!

      All these sites seem to say the same thing, that it uses SmartMEdia.  The
      sales guy at J&R said it as well.

      Hi William,

      Werner  asked my whether I would object to your
      adding his mail with my URL to your leica page, which I of course
      don't. You could mark the URKL as an hyperlink, though, as you did
      with the others.

      I am very fond of the Leica version of this camera, too, although it
      has a quite high power consumption, a power adapter or a leather
      wrap are not included and Li-Ion Accus can't be used.

      When I was away in vacations I tried to download the images to a
      Windows(ME) PC there to free Smart Media space as I have only a total
      of 64MB. Was that a mess !  The Fuji supplied (win98) USB storage
      driver didn't mark the "disk" as readonly, so I could copy no more
      than 4 or 5 images before some other process (or Windows itself ?)
      tried to update something on the "disk". This resulted in a blue
      screen with the message " Write error on drive G:  Press any key to
      reboot"
