| == Background and Identification == | |
| + | The Fujifilm FinePix S4800 is an all-in-one, bridge camera released in January of 2013 and is a part of Fujifilm's S-series. The Fujifilm FinePix S4800 can be distinguished by its 30x optical zoom lens (35mm, equivalent 24-720mm) marking on the side of the lens, along with the Super EBC Fujinon Lens (24mm wide-angle to 720mm telephoto lens, f/3.1 to 5.9) text etched in white on the front, beveled edge of the lens. This Fujifilm camera was available in black, white, and red. |

| + | Fujifilm released the S-series to provide instant zoom that enhances the range and quality of an image, allowing the user to be in full control. With an astounding 320 shot battery life, the device can be used for up to two full days without changing or charging the batteries. Notably, this version of the Fujifilm camera has a menu that is easy to access and navigate. The S4800 model was later replaced by the S4830 model in July of 2013 and the S4850 model in September of 2013. This model also shares the physical characteristics of the S4600 and S4700 models with the only differences being the focal length and maximum zoom of the lenses. |

| - | Nice little 30X zoom bridge camera that suffers from a lens that is prone to jam when dropped. Lens is deep in the camera and once you extract it, there is not much you can do to free it as it is a sealed system. Only a smooth barrel and a gear at the base. If you cannot turn the gear with your hands, there is no way the little screw drive motor will be able to. |

| - | Disassembly is straight forward, a few screws around the perimeter of the clamshell construction (all the same size) and 3 under the flash unit that can be extended manually without battery power. Once you seperate the clamshell with a spudger, there is an LCD and the only PCB board under it. The PCB is soldered to a daughterboard that is perpendicular to it on top, a strange design that has to be unsoldered to remove to get to the lens screws underneath. Once removed, there are 4 large head phillips screws that hold the lens/CMOS assy to the front case. Once these are removed, the lens comes out as a unit. The motor swings away and then you can cycle the gear at the base to manually extend the lens. If it is jammed, your only option is to physically pry the outer barrel off the helical tracks at the 5 bearing points around the barrel, a likely destructive procedure. |
