Fuji FinePix 1400 Zoom Digital Camera Questions & Answers
Accidentally Formatted SmartMedia card!
You're right.
Formatting in-camera will only reset the two File Allocation Tables, which act as a pointer to where the data really resides.
The data (pictures) should remain safe until they are overwritten (the File Allocation Tables will have been marked to show their positions as being overwriteable).
There are lots of solutions, the most expensive, is to send the card to a data recovery place (I don't know from your profile, where you are, but Fuji UK has a very good data recovery department, for just such a problem).
Another way, is to use data recovery software. These, on the whole, work very well, and vary in price from zero, to a few hundred bucks. I've found little difference in quality between them.
However, the easiest and currently most popular, seems to be F-Recovery...

It is no better than most of the freeware tools out there, it's just easier for a novice to follow.
How do I charge it
You should have a cord that came with it. It will be a micro plug on one side and a USB on the other side. From there you can plug it into any USB port or an AC adaptor with a USB input and plug it into the wall.
I need a replacement usb
The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.
Picture card
You can buy a cheap multi card reader at an office supply store, Best Buy, a computer store or a photographic supply. Use the card reader to read your memory card from your computer
Finepix 1400 info needed
No battery back-up. There is a capacitor that stores a bit of charge. This allows you to replace the batteries and still keep the date/time setting. Leaving the camera without batteries for 10 minutes will completely drain the capacitors. This will cause the date/time to reset.
Finepix 1400 won't switch on
I read Something Similuar where This Individual Recharged The Batteries And Then Somehow Rebooted His Comp And The Camera Then began To Respond?
I have a FinePix 1400
I've had 2 of the 1400s and never had a problem. Sounds like your battery contacts may be the problem. Check to see that they are bright and clean. If necessary clean them with a pencil eraser.
What is the procedure for sending pictures over the Internet in FinePixViewer?
To send a FinePixViewer image file in an e-mail message as an attachment, Microsoft Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook 2000 e-mail software is required.
1. In the "My Computer" window on your PC, select "Internet Options" in "Control Panel" and click "Programs".
2. Check that "Outlook Express" or Outlook" 2000" is displayed in the "E-mail" field.
Attaching an image file to an e-mail message
1. Launch FinePix Viewer.
2. Select the folder containing the image file in the folder tree display area on the left. Thumbnails of the images in the folder appear on the right. "Outlook Express" or "Outlook 2000" is displayed in the "E-mail" field.
3. Click the thumbnail for the image file to be attached to the e-mail. To attach multiple files, hold down the [Ctrl] key on the keyboard and click the images to select them. To deselect an image file, click the image again.
4. With the thumbnail for the image file to be attached still selected, select "Mail sending" in the "File" menu. Your e-mail software starts up and the image file is attached to a message. Fill in the destination address, title and the message body, and then use the usual procedure to send the message.
* images files sent using FinePixViewer can be no larger than 1 MB and no more than 10 files in total. If the total file size is greater than 1 MB, a warning message appears when you click [Mail sending]. If the files are too large, decrease the number of files until the warning message no longer appears. Note also that you should not exit FinePixViewer until mail transmission is completed, otherwise it will not be possible to send the e-mail message with the attached image file.
* Some service providers place limits on the sizes of files that can be attached to an e-mail message. The transmission of large image files can also take a considerable time. Select "Mail Transmission Settings" from the "Settings" menu in FinePixViewer and resize the attached image files so that they are no larger than necessary.
How do I make an image file smaller so I can send it by e-mail?
To make an image file smaller for e-mail transmission, change the image file size in "Exif Viewer" or "FinePixViewer".
Changing the size of an image file
1. Start up the Viewer and select the folder containing the image you wish to send.
2. Double-click the thumbnail for the image file you want to resize to open the image in its own full-size window.
3. Select "Image size" in the "Image" menu.
4. Set "%" as the "Unit" used for file size display. Then enter a value lower than 100 as the "Width" or "Height" and click the [OK] button.
5. Select "Save as" in the "File" menu to save the image. (You can also reduce the image file size by lowering the quality in "Save as type".)
