-   "Focus Error" shows when I turn the camera on and it wont go away. I use this camera almost every day to take pics of my two boys. I had the camera now for a little bit of 2 years. -   Guest

-   I'm totally disappointed with the life of this camera. I've had it for 18 months and I can't take any more photos. I keep getting an error message !AE and the pictures are not visible. This thing cost me $250.00 and this is it? I expected better from FUJI. I'll never try this brand again. -   Guest

Had "FOCUS ERROR" appear on my Finepix S9500. The lens seemed to be stuck at the extremity of focus range. I resorted to hitting the camera on a table while turning it off (because this is when it sounded as though the focus motor was trying to move the lens back). Guess what? It worked!!!!!

Press HOME on the camera, go over to Settings and into main settings. Under the Main Settings 1, go down to initialize. This will reset your camera. It did the trick for me!

Had my camera for 18 months now when all of a sudden my camera came up with a "focus error". Powering down/up seemed to resolve the issue, however it appears to have remerged and is permenant rendering the camera useless in respect of taking photos!
Now I'm trying to contact Fujifilm for further advice, but I've heard the repair may be expensive.
