Question about Fuji FinePix S3100 Digital Camera

1 Answer

After 2 years, erratic behavior.

The camera first wouldn't 'playback' photos in the play mode. It was in RECORD mode in both playback and record modes. Now, it sometimes starts to turn on, LED comes on, lens adjusts, then it shuts down. It's getting full power, just won't function properly.

Lens unit problem. Either imact or sand etc in the lens zooming gearbox area. Maybe uneconomical to repair on this model if new lens unit has to be installed. ( it is shutting off because the lens does not come on line properly and so the shutter and CCD do not come on line... when this happens camera switches off. )

Dvr4-alert full screen playback
That's because this is a quad. It compresses all 4 video feeds into 1 file. When you play it back, it decompresses the video and shows you each camera. Playback through this unit is the only way to see 1 camera at a time. 
To be able to copy 1 camera shot to a DVD, this is what you need to do: You need to have a TV with Video in and Video out jacks.  Connect the Quad to the TV Video in jack and connect the TV Video out jack to your DVD Video in jack. Playback a single camera shot on the quad to the TV and hit record on your DVD. - The DVD will record whatever is shown on the TV.

Sony Camcorder playback problem
mechanical alignment! try to record for a minute and playback the result on another player/recorder, not on your camera, if the playback is not okay then your camera needs alignment, you need pro fix. You said that you've done manual cleaning already, maybe you dis aligned the mechanical parts accidentally, applying too much force on the mechanical parts of your small unit tends to bend, dislocate or move these parts out of alignment. defective videohead will never playback good video, and you said that it seems to correct only a few minutes of playback.

Embed audio notes
Since the C-5500 has audio recording capability it is possible to record brief audio notes, which become an embedded part of the image file. Open the MODE MENU and select the CAMERA tab. Toggle right to enter the CAMERA sub-menu and toggle down until you have selected the microphone icon, using the OK/MENU button. Then toggle right, select ON and press the OK/MENU button twice. The sound recording function is now enabled. About .5 seconds after the shutter is released the 4 second recording period will begin recording. You will need to point the microphone on the front of the camera toward the sound source. You can also record and record over audio notes on photos already taken. In the PLAYBACK Mode open the MODE MENU, select the PLAY tab and then select START. Pressing the OK/MENU button will start the 4 second recording period.

Fujifilm FinePix A345 won't turn on ordered y tool to open any battery inside? Have a FujiFilm FinePix 4Mpixel camera that won't power on. Not the batteries or contacts. Ordered the small Y screwdriver to open the case. What should I look for INSIDE? Is there a small watch battery in there that may be dead? I'm good with electronics but don't know where to start. Seems like this is a frequent problem with FujiFilm digital cameras.
