Fuji FinePix S2 - image records in black

It usually occurs because the sensor that has a lot of recording images, or shutter number is already over the limit is usually 50000 images.

Hi,
Set the camera AUTO mode.

Most likely a CCD error. In some regions this has earlier been covered by extended warranty. Try contacting Fujifilm in your country.

Sounds to me like a CCD problem, which is a bad thing. CCD faults were quite common in the early S2's. It would be worth contacting Fuji about.

can you insert a few images into the thread to have a look at. Need more than one to check consistency of problem.

take the lens cover off ? :)

Maybe your card is already def.

A bit more explanation please Stevie Is the Screen really blank[black] or can you see shadow images. Or Is it White blank? And can you still take pictures even when the screen is in this state. Tell us more

If the picture taken from digicam are ok when viewed from a computer, the lcd viewer has a loose connection or defective already, if you can open your unit, try to disconnect and reconnect the lcd flexwire inside.

Before the heart attack, check your lens. I believe its the D series lenses that need to be set to all the way open. I get this "err" alot, and then look down to see that Ive rotated the appature.

My S2 is on its second out of warranty CCD, and Fuji replaced both for free, the first was due to the same dead CCD as many has had, the second was due to the CCD being defective to the point of being off center and producing photos that had a very distinct leaning to the right, Fuji did not charge me for either CCD's, and if the tech said otherwise, if I where you, I would call them back and say you belong to many on line forums, and have read that Fuji is replacing them at no charge, its possible that the rep you talked to is unaware of this! That is another point, make sure you talk to an actual camera tech, and not just a rep, the rep will probably give you the run around.
