You want to set the focus mode to S-AF, then move the focus mode selector to the lock position.
Hopefully that will fix the problem.

The CCD is bad, or the connector.

This is not unusual for many cameras. They draw quite a bit of battery power, especially if you leave the LCD view screen on constantly. You will get longer usage id you limit the use of the display screen and use lithium batteries rather than rechargables. Costs more, but you won't lose tha shot when the batteries give up.

I've had this happen before. By chance, Do you have a CD or DVD in your Mac? Eject any disk you might have in there and try the connection again.

I have Fuji FinePix 2650 Digital camera with same problem. I can almost guarantee this is not a firmware problem. I went mountain biking a few months ago and take pictures. I take out camera and turn on. I get lines then white screen. I banged on camera and fixed it. Later a few weeks ago I turn it on and white screen. i beat this thing and get bad menu selection screen for a moment then white again. It takes pictures well and talk to computer no problem but no LCD picture. I thinking it is loose connection for LCD. Send it for repair or if you seek adventure try to fix it yourself!

Sensor failure. Washy, distorted picture. All funny colours. Replace sensor.

On this link you can find all software and updates you could wide for, from Fuji, that you could need with your camera. There never was a firmware update for this camera, So i'm afraid you won't find that on the fuji site. Support and Contact Center

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).Make sure you format the card after the downloading.

Apparently, there is a paper tray for it.

This is not a DIY job, you need a FuJi digital camera repairer.

I had this problem also (see below).


After getting poor results with the duct tape solution, I discovered another work-around. This should work whether it is chipped lugs on the door or on the body.

Firstly I used an old camera flash bracket that screws into the tripod socket, and this holds the battery door in place quite securely. However it was too long, so I cut and filed a piece of aluminium 25mm (1") wide by 2.5mm thick to the right length (around 100mm/4") and shape, and made a hole for the bracket screw.

End result is not exactly like new, but more functional than the duct tape and does not further damage the actual camera:

give your card for data recovery

No. The S5000 uses only xD cards.
