I have the exact same problem. Shooting a video goes fine as well as viewing pictures. But whenever I try to shoot a photo, the picture will appear for a brief second and then everything goes black.
my e550 is super-sensitive to battery types - I get this all the time with my nimh batteries but never with regular aa's, although they only last about an hour !
Fuji camara e550 needs the 2GB xD Picture Card H Type Fuji DPC-H2GB (BXA). H is the watchword. The M and M+ fill up after repeated pictures and deleting and computer handoffs. There is no way to restore functionallity to these cards. This is according to Tech support at Fuji.

Have had this camera several years with NO problems. It is used a lot for shooting ebay product photos. Lately, the menu/function buttons on the back which allow me to go into macro mode, erase frames, change white balance, etc., do not always work. Sometimes, if I just keep trying (power off-on, change batteries, etc.) I can finally get them to function. I really like this camera and am not ready to call it DOA. Any assistance would be appreciated!
