The camera doesn't put the date onto the picture, but it does put the information into the file. You can choose to have it appear when you print the picture. If you're printing from the camera, please refer to the "Printing Pictures via USB" section in the manual (page 57 in my copy). If you're printing from the computer, please refer to the documentation for that program.

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card. If the switch is already in the proper position, slide it fully the other way and then back again.

my finepix s1000fd dosent turn on .. i change the pattery but i it dosent turn on

Carefully clean the card contacts - try again - no joy - try in a card reader. I have several Finepix cameras and not one has failed in this manner. Good luck.

If the camera was operating properly before the zoom error then the most common problem to a stuck lens is dirt getting stuck between the two lens barrels. There are a few fixes for this none are guaranteed to solve the problem and should not be attempted if the camera is under any type of warranty. They include removing the batteries for a few minutes, reinstalling the batteries with fresh once with full power, turn the camera on while holding the the zoom button. Another method is to see if you can provide extra power to the focus motor by having the LCD screen turned off. There my be a button that allows you to switch from the viewfinder to the LCD screen switch to the viewfinder and try several times to focus (just point the camera at different distant objects) and attempt to focus the camera. I hope this gives you the results you need because the other suggestions may further damage the camera and are only a (last resort) thing. One is with the camera turned on tap the body on a counter or table edge while trying to zoom the lens obviously in the opposite direction to where it's stuck. The last is to gently push the lens in with the palm of you hand while zooming in. All these are just suggestions and carry no guarantee of working and may further damage the camera. The biggest cause of this problem is dust from a camera bag or some other environmental condition like sand from a beach.

Get a card reader and use it instead of the camera from now on.

This requires technical skills plase attempt this only if you know about electronics as there are many of the delicate components attached with the LCD screen in a digital camera.Open the camera carefully and do not touch or bank anything against it's lens senser inside as it might even detoriate the quality of the photos you take with the camera after replacing the LCD screen.Carefully remove any loose remains of the screen broken now apply solder carefully to the strip wire connecting to the screen boken with a de-solder wik to remove the connections from the main motherboard.Take out the broken screen and clean the terminals of the main motherboard with some alcoholic spirit or petrol to remove all dust and dirt from the terminals accumulated on them now take the new screen and solder the ribbon like wire on the terminals by applying minimal solder on each terminal with the soldering iron remember not to apply excess of solder on any of the terminals as they might get shorted with each other and will damage the camera as well as the new LCD screen replaced when powered on.If in any case you see any terminal shorted with one another then remove the excess solder with the help of de-solder wik or a hot air gun .Replace the screen by soldering each terminal carefully and now replace the cover and your camera is ready to click photos .BUT STILL I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU THE REPLACING ACTIVITY ONLY IF YOU ARE A TRAINED PERSONAL IN THE FIELD OF SOLDERING MICRO-ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS.

Also that use a soldering iron of 25watt or less as the heat might damage the delicate components

Hello - You will find this happens mostly in Automatic mode which needs a better spread of light.
The grey background is when another color has been highlighted/increased and the background get saturated out (usually the sky goes grey) or the clouds go white.
Try going into Scenic settings ..ie.. vivid , sunset , soft etc and keep that setting open while taking shots.
or -- Use a Neutral density filter where there are bright and dark spots in frame.
or - Use the aep button to increase a stop before taking a picture..
AND -- get into S or A or Manual mode .
I called Fuji Tech support UK and they admitted the S1000 cameras where 1 stop low on light in the fully auto mode, because it was easier to AD light afterwards in software,

Hello

The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.

Use these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.

Firstly , try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.

Try holding the shutter button while switching on the camera.

Look at the lens , and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).

Try gently pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.

Another way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the camera is enough to get things going again.

Try hitting your camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of your hand.

Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair centre for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to replace the camera.

If it is still under warranty I would suggest you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.

You can also have a look at THIS link.

Hope the advise is useful. please do not hesitate to let me know if you need any further assistance. Also, please be so kind to let me know if you found this helpful.

NOT a good sign - if there is a line on the LCD only then is wouldn't show on the PC.
As it shows on both Cam LCD and PC then it looks like a CMOS sensor fault and the sensor is the 'heart' of the camera.
A quick check would be to switch the viewfinder from LCD to viewfinder and use your eye to focus etc. Take a snap and display on the PC. If there is still a line missing then it can only be the sensor.
The Sensor is a very large grid of transistors which are light sensitive so a 12meg image uses all 12 meg transistor cells , which store light and then a micro Controller scans each cell collecting the data.
Sounds like you have a column address line missing - this is going to be a factory job or a very good Fuji repair shop. -- Ray

This is indicating a fault in the systems control board or it has detected a problem with the screen, the only solution is take it to camera technician for proper inspection and an estimate.

I can only suggest for this problem that the batteries have been fully charged before inserted them into the camera. -- Ray

Look at your memory card. SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card. If the switch is already in the proper position, slide it fully the other way and then back again.

If that doesn't work, try another card.

pull batteries and re-install. if it repeats install new batteries.

The camera could be having a power or lens issue, and possibly card holder pin problem, unless the card's protection tab got accidentally set to "lock".
The following two websites detail the steps of things to try, and can often get a camera back working again.
This blog deals with power problems, and is the first thing to check.

If none of these steps helps, contact Fuji for support:

You can get an estimate for repair from them, if needed, and also compare it to a local shop's offer, in case you don't want to send it out.
Good luck, and hope this helps.
