Japan Hot Stocks-Fuji Photo, autos

TOKYO, July 29 (Reuters) - The following stocks are on the move on Monday. **FUJI PHOTO UP ON YEN, U.S. MARKET REBOUND**

Fuji Photo Film Co Ltd up 210 yen or 6.09 percent at 3,660, having recovered quickly since it hit a 10-month intraday low of 3,390 yen in the previous session.

The U.S. stock market's rebound and a weakening in the yen encouraged investors to return to Fuji Photo and other major exporters, traders said.
