I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN MINE APART AND FOUND A BOARD MOUNTED BATTERY NO PART NUMBER JUST A NUMBER ON THE BOARD BT601 . CAN NOT FIND OUT ANYTHING FROM FUJI THEY ASK DUMB ABT IT. I KNOW THEY HAVE A CLASS ACTION SUIT ON THIS CAMERA. I HAVE SUBED THE BATTERY BUT STILL NO LUCK. I WOULD SUSPECT THE CAMERA NEEDS TO BE UPLOADED INFO TO RESTORE OPERATIONAL. IF ANYONES KNOWS HOW PLEASE POST . I AM SOLDERING WIRES TO OUTBOARD THE BATTERY. STILL JUST A PIECE OF JUNK NOW. WHAT A WASTE OF MFG KNOWLEDGE.

I believe it can be, I have mine disassembled, but I cannot figure out what type of battery it is.

Most likely explanation for this is the presence of dirt/sand in the lens unit and in the zoom motor/gearbox assembly which is part of the lens unit. When camera detects problem in the zooming process it will shut off.
Solution : will have to go in for service but should not cost you arm and a leg cause no spares are required to sort this problem out.

Hi , In self timer is found in function set /press function set ,navigate the knob to drive mode , navigate knob to 10 seconds , click the shooter of camera then then okey.

Hi , scan with anti virus sim card / the computer will stop downloading if detect viruses.Sometimes the sim card adopter can block the downloading due to imcompatibility of the sim adopter.

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$

Try some of the less severe repair techniques for a lens error:

yes it will, i bought a 1 gb card & it will give you about 2100 pics at 1m setting, about 1300 at 3m. cost $20. works great. curtis

Yes set your Dail for M for Motion, and if that doesn't work try and set your ISO to 1600, that should eliminate the PROBLEM..

type h is faster then type m. in your case you can insert both types. now it depends how much you want to spent.

Let a local Photographer look at your camera or send it to canon

The green light just has to do with "manual focus" it isn't supposed to stay on... When you see a blue screen, that means you have the camera on the setting to where you can see your pictures. You should be able to tell the difference, there is OFF, A play button that shows you your pictures, and a camera for when you are ready to take pictures

You are correct Camera spares are a joke - there are none Do what you did before. or use gaffer tape if the latch does not operate a 'Door open Switch' If it does then ram a matching in to kid it is shut then gaffer tape it.

This is a firmware failure. Fuji Technical Support need to know about this. a replacement may be possible.

1st question is can your camera do this ? Not all can. Check out the manual- if the book does not tell you and the bigger manual in PDF ion the disk does not mention it then you must assume your camera does not have this function

I guess something has stalled the zoom motor Check out Fuji support for advice - but I guess you will not like the answer.

This is probably a CCD failure Contact customer support as CCD failures can be a known thing where cameras are replaced free. if not then a new camera is the next move A repair is not likely to be an economical thing

Download from www.konvar com the program PCInspector. Conect the camera and direct the program to the image folder in the appropriate drive ltter #run the program set up a folder for the revoered imaged to be sent to and then when done format the card in the camera
