Battery life My fuji Finepix s3000 does not work for more than a few minutes running time on fresh batteries. I just bought new batteries/charger to confirm this. Is there some kind of short circuit within the camera? Is this a known problem? I've hardly used the camera (partly due to the fact that it always has dead batteries in it).

    The batteries go dead as soon as I switch to camera settings after a few snap shots. Why?

    My Fuji S3000 eats batteries alive... I have bought several sets of new rechargeable batteries presumed to be of good quality, and they last only a few minutes. Are there INTERNAL BATTERIES in this camera that may have gone bad? What are the recommended batteries for this camera?

    Doesn't matter what quality batteries are used,

    I have also cleaned the battery terminals and it still dies within a few minutes. Someone told me a while back that they can have a internal short that drains batteries fast but no fix for it.

    I am still looking for a solution.

    I also have the same problem. I've tried a few different brands of rechargeable batteries and standard AAs also. After putting fresh batteries in the camera it shows low battery after only a few minutes of use. If I put fresh batteries in the camera and never turn the camera on, when I do go to turn it on the batteries are already dead. It seems the camera drains the batteries both when it is in use and when it's off. It also never retains the date/time setting.

Try buying very high quality recharable batteries. You might have low quality batteries and the camera eats the battery up quickly.

Fujifilm battery fully charged but camera says no charge or very little. Just bought a new Duracell Battery and Charger for my Fuji FinePix J10 Camera. Used the charge on the battery in the camera from...

Well you mentioned that it worked fine yesterday with the battery out of the box. That should tell you that the camera and the battery are both fine. The issue is likely the charger itself. Try recharging it again, and double check that you inserted the batteries correctly, and that any switches (such as for 2 or 4 battery charge) are set in the correct position on the charger. If this doesn't work, take the charger back to the store for exchange/refund as defective.

My Fuji S3000 Camera shutter won't open when I turn my camera on. I took pictures 2 hours ago, shut it off and now it will not open again. There are freshly charged batteries in it. I did not drop it....

To be very honest I feel there is not home remedy here you can try:

1. Taking out the battery
2. Put battery back in

If that does not work its time to decide on whitch camera shop you want to. I know you did not come here to be told that but why shall we play around here and cause more damage to this nice piece?

Fuji finepix e510 won't turn on

If your Fuji e510 battery system is like the Finepix S3000 or the S3100 take a look at the following postings: Finepix S3100 (Camera power does not come on...) by banobo of Feb 07,2008 and check out solutions #2 & #4, (Mine is #4), Also see posting by "tomawamba for Fuji S3000" and my slightly differently worded solution.(Only one posted). May be best to get camera working before connecting with anything else. Good luck, be patient.

Fuji finepix s3000

This is an easy possibility, Try using an eraser on all the contacts for the batteries. The ones on the battery door and the ones inside the camera. Try to get them shiny, the harder white erasers work best. If that doesn't solve to power problem, the camera may have blown its power fuse internally. That repair would likely cost 50-60$

Check your manual- Some models have a separate 'button' battery for date/time functions- there are quite long lived and are on all the time. If the manual does not reveal - seek out the Technical Support at Fuji

Kills Batteries

What kind of batteries are you using? It's a well-known fact that for instance normal alkaline batteries run flat in no time in these kinds of cameras. You'd better use powerful NiMH batteries, 2,000 mAh or above and a charger which does the job in let's say 1 hour or so. Also get an extra set of batteries. You'll never regret you bought it!
