Fuji FinePix S1000fd Digital Camera, freezes!

Everytime I use the flash on my camera, no matter which mode I am in, the camera freezes. When this happens I am unable to turn off the camera so I have to take the batteries in order to reset the camera. I've had the camera for 6 months, this started after less than two months of owning. The store where I purchased it will not replace or refund. Is there any solutions to this problem?

We have the same problem. Less than 6 months after using it the flash seems to lockup the camera and the only way to free it up is to remove the batteries.
Hopefully someone has a solution or answer.

    I just read a couple of other posts that are suggesting using a different SD card. SDHC (class 4?). I'm going to try a different type to see what happens. If it works I'll post the brand etc.

    I found this fix by Peter Schroeder;
    I tried it and it's working perfectly.

    Some SD/HC cards will cause this problem.

    You need to upgrade the firmware to version 1,05.

I have a brand new Finepix S8100fd camera and the majority of the photos are speckled no matter what setting I use. However the super macro setting rocks and pictures are super clear! My Fuji 7.1 mega

Common issue with the A8100fd. The most likely problem you are having is not enough light. Try shooting in bright sunlight to test the "graininess". Make sure you use the flash anytime the light is not bright. Even though the camera will shoot in low light (without flash), because it defaults to a high ISO setting, which (just like film) accentuates the "grain", or more properly termed in digital photography, "noise". Set the camera for a low ISO setting and use the flash whenever you see the "red hand" symbol on the screen.

Digital camera reads " read error" when I try and view the pictures

Change your memory card. I had same problem with my new Fuji Finepix S1000fd. Problem always came out in flash mode, with write/read error and freezing problems. Always use Premier brand memory cards. Prior to changing it, I also suggest to format your present card.

Cant upload pix from my fuji s1000fd to pc finepix program.

instead of using the usb plug that the camera has go to best buy, show them your card, and ask for a card reader
what this will do is plug into a usb port, and it will read the data off of the card, completely bypassing the program

Camera freezes after taking picture

I had this problem with my s1000 Fujifilm, but solved it by changing the standard SD card for a SDHC class 4 card. It no longer freezes when a flash is used! I've tried a 4Gb and a 16 GB SDHC class 4 card and both are fine.
