Viewing pictures from camera on computer

I have a Fuji F20. Before the computer will link up with the camera and find it, the power supply for the camera needs to be hooked up into the wall.

Here is a post from earlier I did for an Olympus camera. The instructions here should be the same for the Fuji.

Do what the pros do to avoid this very problem....use a card reader instead of the camera.

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 ).

Have you tried transfer to computer using a card reader ? If not transferring directly from camera it is more than likely the Fuji drivers are not correctly installed remove drivers and reinstall (check for correct drivers PC or Mac) Have you tried on another laptop? I would say it is more than likely a software problem. If still not working send details of you computer operating system and camera model number please.

You don't need any special software.

This is a known issue with Fuji S3000 cameras caused by dust and dirt that get in through the loosely mounted lens mechanism, there are only three solutions.

1. If under warranty you can send the camera in for repair.
2. Saturate around the lens with WD40 and wiggle the lens until it becomes responsive again every month or so.
   
3. Dismantle the camera and clean out around the internal gear-box and lens components about once a year.

If your Fuji e510 battery system is like the Finepix S3000 or the S3100 take a look at the following postings: Finepix S3100 (Camera power does not come on...) by banobo of Feb 07,2008 and check out solutions #2 & #4, (Mine is #4), Also see posting by "tomawamba for Fuji S3000" and my slightly differently worded solution.(Only one posted). May be best to get camera working before connecting with anything else. Good luck, be patient.

hi , you need to install driver installation cd to detect the camera,if you have installed the cd just connect usb dection comes in.

The S3000 has a 512MB limit according to Fuji. Ther is also no firmware upgrade to address this issue. However I loaded a 1GB Olympus M type card into th S3000, which was pre-fornatted and worked straight away. After putting the card into the reader in my laptop, and then returning to the camera, the camera identified the card as not initialized. I tried to format the card in the camera but this didn't work.

To fix this I connected the camera to the computer using the USB cable located the camera card via My Computer, left clicked on and did a quick format in FAT (FAT16). After this the camera read the card and indicated 1305 frames available at 3M.

Well I had trouble with my S3000 I have taken these Camera's apart Many of Times and the Problem that you might be having is this...turn Camera on go into setup and change it from SUB to some othere icon that is on there the are only two ptions usb and the other switch it and then try to send phots to your Pc .... Let me know if this Helps...........Michael
