How do I Troubleshoot a Fujifilm S5000?
- 1). Charge the batteries if the camera won't work at all. The zoom lens failing to extend is a dead giveaway that the camera is about to crash and needs charging. Charge the batteries at this point, even if the camera's screen comes on.
- 2). Insert a replacement memory card if the camera won't record images. The cards can fill up. Keeping a few extra cards handy will allow you to keep shooting.
- 3). Allow the FujiFilm FinePix S5000's flash to charge between shots if the camera won't capture images and you've been using the flash. The flash charging is automatic, but it takes a moment.
- 4). Move the mode switch to the arrow icon position if the camera won't play back images. The arrow icon indicates Playback. The camera won't capture images in the Playback position.
- 5). Connect the camera to a television or computer if you find it difficult to see the images properly on the small screen. The cables are included in the box. In the case of the television playback, attach the yellow plug to an input jack on the television; set the television's Input setting on the remote control to match the jack you used. In the case of a computer, use the USB-ended cable. Simply connect the camera and follow the on-screen prompts.
