Acording to my research, i do not think that you can.

Hello

Thank you for using FixYa for your problem

Do you live in a humided area, this can cause the shutter to stick or has the unit been sitting for a while?

Please rate our solutions and if you still have problems please call back for more ideas to help you

That is strange, maybe taking the batteries out and putting them back in could reset the camera to normal. Electronic problems are real tough.

EBAY has lots of camera parts stores. Just search fujifilm s5600 lcd screen , or parts camera.

Lines across photo's or over exposure Is due to the shutter not closing correctly. Common cause for this is moisture fouling the shutter leafs. It only has to be a very tiny amount to cause an obstruction. If you turn on your camera and turn the flash off face the lens towards you and look at the lens in the middle you should be able to see the shutter fire across the lens when you take a picture. I know its small but you should be able to spot if there is a gap ( may not be very big) where the shutter leafs meet. What you need to do is remove the lens unit from the camera, dis engage the zoom motor ( the motor nearest the front lens) then remove the main lens to access the zoom lens and remove that aswell. Behind it is the shutter. Undo the screws for the retaining plate, remove the plate, and then remove the shutter leafs for cleanning with lens cleaner or anything that will clean without leaving a residue. And remember not to touch the leafs after cleaning, use tweezers.

Good Day To You!

does you camera have a card in it if so take it out put it in your computer. go to my computer and you see it will show up where the (c) and (D) drive are and you will see snd card and click on it and then you can open up your pics and pick one and go to file and click on save it will bring up a folder you can put it in my documents under pictures

We can try... Go to the menus and set all to default or set all to default or something like that.
Then test.

If you know you camera, just go to you menu and you should see where it says, set up push on that then you'll see format card (make sure you card its unlock) that should do it.
By formating your card,,(you know that all the data in it will be delete right?

If it is re-formatted it is likely a lost cause, unless the formatting only changes the directory labels to available--like on a hard drive or the trash can with a simple delete or quick format.
...potentially some of the bit by bit utilities such as used for recovering hard drive data or from trash. [cannot think of the name off hand--like Recuva, Free undelete etc]
..Yes, I would try a card reader. as then you can look at the files somewhat directly in explorer and have the potential for recovery utilities to work, or maybe even read the files (as apposed to through the Olympus which may require the DCIM file labels to function); I recall reading about recovery for photos in particular--but in general the recovery programs look for data that fits a file type structure like MP3, JPEG, Tiff, and will retrieve even partial files--- have successful found portions of mp3 songs but have not had the occasion to try on images.

Use a card reader to download your pics.

You can't. Not without destroying the camera. There's a clever little gadget from UK letting you use a generic cable release to "any" camera:

Or, you can use the self-timer to prevent camera shake. You have to set the self-timer for every single shot, tho...

just asking but do u think it might be the cord or the camera

Have a look at the post on my tips page of my profile for this problem.

First make sure that the camera is able to recognise the card and is not defaulting to the internal memory only. Power off the Camera, then remove the additional card. Power on the camera, then power off the camera. Put the memory card back in the camera and then reformat it before using it. Fuji and other digital cameras do not like being used with memory expansions if they are not reformatted every time the pictures have filled the memory card or you choose to download them. Its like the memory is still allocated to something even though you cant see it. So a good practice is to reformat after every download. If the problem persists then try another card and if this still gives an error then you will have to get the camera serviced.

The S5600 uses a non interchangeable lens. It's a fixed lens camera.
You can how ever purchase filters or adapter rings etc to attach to the front of the lens.

If you want to have a go at repair then have a look at my post on this problem on my tips n tricks section of my profile under "THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW"

Test the card in another device(computer)to see if it works.If so the card capacity may be too large for the camera.
