Fujifilm FinePix S2980: The camera does not turn on. What to do?

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 03:35:35 -0700

Brief history :

The fine pix (FUJI FILM) 2980 camera has only three years.

Used little, it never has been dropped or has been dropped, use ordinary alkaline batteries and non-rechargeable batteries.

There are no signs of oxidation on the battery terminals and whenever you finish using the machine I remove the batteries.

Fujifilm FinePix A350: Why isnt my camera working?

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 11:11:58 -0700

So i had this camera for a long time, used to be my childhood one, but for the past year or so i tried to figure out why isnt it working. Basically i switched the batteries and it did turn on, i could scroll through the old photos but once i tried to take a photo or video the camera automatically shut down and doesnt want to turn on. It does turn on after like ten minutes of letting it be but once i click the shutter it shuts off. So i wonder, is this fixable?

Fujifilm FinePix F505EXR: Why the camera LCD is working only in Firmware update mode.

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 04:06:50 -0700

Hi,

I would like to ask you something. I have a Fujifilm Finepix F550EXR (it has the same LCD like the F505EXR). When I start the camera in Firmware update mode the LCD lights up, I can see the current firmware version (I even made a firmware update from version 1.13 to 1.14, but it didn't helped to solve this issue). When I start it in normal mode the LCD screen is black, the menus are working, the flash pops up, the lenses come out, I can take pictures, so everything working except the LCD.

If the LCD display is working in Firmware update mode it means the LCD is OK, it doesn't need to be changed.

What could be the problem?

Thank you very much for any answer.

Have a very nice day.

Fujifilm FinePix S8200: Constant date re-setting required

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 03:02:18 -0700

Does this camera have an internal battery that might now need replacing? And is this possible? I have owned it from new and recently this problem is occurring:

Every time I turn it on (unless almost immediately after last use) I am required to re-set the time and all my programmed features and preferences are lost. Still a useful camera, but this problem is annoying and time-wasting.

Fujifilm FinePix Camera: Finepix Z35 will not turn on without power connection

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 07:32:15 -0700

I bought this camera second hand, and it was working perfectly. I ordered a replacement battery (Duracell, specific for this camera) and it worked great.

After a short while, it stopped turning on when not connected to power via charging cable. The battery is new and was working previously, so that is not the issue. The battery is fully charged, and it is turned the correct way round (I know about the battery being turned the wrong way thing). What else can I do?

It still turns on and works when connected to power. When it turns on when connected, it will start with the demo video which I can’t remember if it was doing that before or not. I’d hate to get rid of a perfectly good camera, I just want to fix it but no idea what to try next.

Fujifilm FinePix Camera: Why isn't my camera recognizing the memory card?

Sat, 10 May 2025 23:05:06 -0700

Fujifilm Finepix A170 10.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD

Every time I turn on my camera and take photos, I'm limited to just three pictures because it only uses the internal memory. It seems the camera can't read or recognize the memory card. I've tried inserting the card in every possible way, but it never seems to fit properly. Normally, the card should click into place, and when pushed again, it should pop out - but that doesn’t happen. Based on what I’ve seen online and in the instruction manual, the camera supports memory cards up to 32 GB. I suspect the issue is that the card isn’t sliding in all the way and can’t reach the internal pins.

Fujifilm FinePix S1: The lense that moves forwards is not synchronised with the camera itse

Tue, 13 Aug 2024 13:40:53 -0700

Whenever I zoom in, the lense going forwards acts as normal, but the camera system that actualy takes the shot is not synchronised with it meaning the more I zoom in the bluryer it gets. This was caused by someone holding the camera by its lense while extended and then trying to retract it so the camera is going up by zooming out causing a breaking sound like a loud click. Is there a way to fix this.

Fujifilm FinePix S2980: How to stop date reset to 01.01.2000 each time camera on/off

Wed, 24 Jul 2024 16:38:48 -0700

My FinePix S2980 resets time and date to 00:00 01.01.2000 whenever it is switched off and the SD card and/or batteries are removed for charging. Today I noticed it initially was set to 31.12.1999 when I first switched on the camera, then continued with 01.01.2000 following on/off (but no memory card or battery removal) even though it was only minutes later on the same morning. As I sometimes forget I have to reset time & date each time I use the camera, I have hundreds of photographs with 01.01.2000 as the date taken. It is driving me mad. Please can you suggest a cure? Thank you.
