Zu Schritt 1 der Anleitung

This guide explains how to replace the flash unit of a FujiFilm FinePix A340 camera.

The flash unit is a mechanism within a camera that creates a "flash" or quick burst of light while a photo is taken to illuminate the image. If the "flash" function of your camera is not working, you may need to replace your flash unit.

Note that this guide involves soldering, or using a special tool called a soldering iron to delicately weld parts together.
