How do I transfer movies from my Finepix A600 camera to my computer.

I'm curious....the camera came out in 2006....how did you buy a second one?...and more importantly, why? If something doesn't work, the first thing people do isn't to go out and buy another one. Anyway, from your description, the problem seems to lie with the cards, not the camera. All memory cards must be formatted (sometimes called "initialized") in the camera before use and regularly after downloading the pics to the computer. This erases the card and brings it back to original condition so download any pics you want to save using a separate cardreader if necessary and then, format/initialize them in the camera.Also, how old are these cards?....they don't last forever.

Connect it to your PC, using the USB cable provided.

Click on my computer, you should see another HDD drive appear, it may be called Fuji or mass storage device.

Double click on that, you'll see folder, double click on that you should see the pictures stored on the internal memory of your camera.

Try this...go into the menu and find "reset"...follow the on-screen instructions.

Connect the camera to your computer, without a memory card inserted.
Transfer the movie to the computer. After this is done, you format the camera using the Setup menu. Then you will have cleared the internal memory. Before formatting, check that the movie has been transfered the computer.

go into the setup menu and navigate to the "format" option. This will wipe out any data on the card, or internal memory.

There is a possible solution but try at your own risk:

Give the camera a few bumps to help it release the lens. Bump into a soft surface, like your hand or a towel.

You will have to format it. Keep it in the camera and go through the manual's instructions for doing this, sorry but this sometimes happens.

Remove the camera software entirely. Assuming you PC is 2000/XP no camera software or driver is required. It should simply come up as a new drive in My Computer Come back on this one
