Unfortunately, many cameras that fall prey to lens error (zoom errors on Fuji's) problems can only be corrected by professional repair. But, here are some last resort troubleshooting steps that you can try that may correct it. They only seem to work for less than 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty (or repair cost approaches that of the camera), they're worth that try.

It's not that hard of a process. You have to remove the back case held by 5 or 6 screws, usually, and then 2 or 3 screws for the lcd itself. The lcd screen has a ribbon connector, which can be removed by gently prying the plastic holing bar up, releasing the connector, then reversing the process for the good one. You can sometimes find the same model camera on Ebay with a good lens, but different problem, and swap the lens out, or sometimes find new ones for around $30 or $40. If you take it to a camera repair shop, or contact Fuji for repair, the cost will be around $125.
There are videos on google that show the process, which isn't hard. Sometimes a screw will be located in the usb port, or battery compartment, and that's the trickiest part, really.
If you go to YouTube videos and look for lcd repair, you will find videos that show the general process, and help you see what needs to be done.
Oh, some cameras has two ribbon connectors, one for the screen, and one for the backlight (the small one). On others, it is built into the wide connector.
Good luck, and hope this helps.

That should mean your flash is set to "auto flash".

Connect the camera to the PC using the USB cable which should have come with the camera (part PZ-04832-100) .

If XP is configured with the defaults, as soon as you turn on the camera, a window should pop-up stating what you want to do with the newly found block device. If you choose, "Open folder", you'll be able to browse the memory until you get to the picture folder; at that point, just drag and drop, e.g., on your desktop (you may also drag the whole picture folder).

If nothing happens, check "My Computer" and verify that a new disk has appeared, possibly labeled E: or F:; double click on it and do as above.

Otherwise, you can purchase a XD card reader (possibly your computer already has one built-in; check) and take out the memory from the camera, plug it in the PC, and go. You will find instructions here:

zoom error and cant close camera

Hello, I have a similar camera with a broken zoom - would you be prepared to sell yours for spares? Thanks Steve

try re-formatting the card in the camera. Turn the power on. Wait for the green light. Go to menu/set-up/format and say "yes" to format option. That's the usual fix.

try formatting the card in the camera's set-up menu.

Are you using alkaline batteries? The symptoms you're describing suggest that you are. Alkaline batteries just don't have the power for more than a few pics in a digital camera. Digital cameras for the most part should only be used with rechargeable NiMH batteries. Walmart sells these for around $7 for a package of four (about $15-19 for the batteries with charger). Keep in mind they'll save you big bucks in the long run over alkalines, AND they'll last for at least 100 pictures per charge (and probably many many more). You'll be very pleased with their performance, and slap yourself in the head for not buying them sooner. When at the store, look on the package for a power rating of at least 2500 mah.

No, sorry your LCD has to be replaced. Repair is impossible.

About the HS10 autofocus problem, I discovered the cause and solution. It is a problem of camera design, and is caused by three screws securing the CCD sensor. These screws are not properly secured and the vibration eventually dropping. In two cameras with the same defect, the screws were loose. These screws adjust the sensor position relative to the lens and the sensor is loose when out of position not allowing proper focus. The solution is to disassemble the camera and secure the screws. These screws can not be too tight they need to be adjusted to position the CCD sensor correctly. The camera is difficult to dismantle because several wires are soldered. Care must be taken to discharge the capacitor of the flash, this may cause an electric shock and burn the camera board. Those who want to try the repair, follow the link to the service manual. http://elektrotanya.com/fujifilm_finepix_hs10_hs11_sm.pdf/download.html Milton Maenishi

Many occasions LCD on camera display never fails but back light fails unless physical damage to LCD screen. Hold a torch to display when camera is on you will see faint(black and white) image means LCD is ok but back light is failed, it's replaceable but needs little skill to replace. Or replace full Screen with backlight. This is easy. Just remove back cover, remove display by loosening flex lock, put back new display carefully lock it holding flex with one finger. Please do not touch display flex contacts.
