Fuji finepix f420 no live image/memory not storing data

The date and time appear in the lower-left corner of the screen, both when taking pictures and when reviewing pictures you've already taken.

The date and time (and a lot more) are stored with every picture in its EXIF metadata. Any photo viewing/editing program should be able to display this data. To print this data, please consult the documentation for whatever program you're using to print your pictures. Depending on the program and printer you may print the date on the image, in the margins, or on the back.

Seeing the Date When Previewing images

• The camera records the date and time of each photo in the metadata attached to each picture. You have the option to see the date and time when when the camera is in "Playback" mode, which allows you to preview your images on the screen. When looking at your pictures, use the "Disp/Back" button to include text with your pictures. The date and time will appear along the bottom of the image.

Printing the Date on Pictures

• Users can include the time and date on their prints from the "Mode" menu by choosing "Print Order" with the "With Date" option.
  

If you do not have a memory card inserted, the camera defaults to the internal memory, both in shooting and playback modes. You can transfer from internal to a card using the "copy" function from the playback menu. The internal memory can be erased from the playback menu using the format function in the "setup" menu. Don't erase (format) until you are sure the images are stored safely elsewhere.

Hello Jrmb,
I would like to know what mode are you clicking these photos in.. because overexposure is due to either slow shutter speeds or large aperture. Try setting the camre mode according to the surrounding light conditions.. for example, no need of flash when you are clicking pictures in broad day light, instead of setting the camera on Auto mode, try using Portrait mode for short distance (5 to 6 meters away) objects etc..
Let me know if that fixes the issue.

And important .. Do not forget to rate the solution :)

Thanks and Regards,

Hi there,

yes ther is no problem using Ni-MH batteries, as they do not have a memory effect they will be better (subject to your charger), you can get the Fuji Finepix NH-20 batteries (wj=hich are NIMH) here - Fuji Finepix F420 battery

It sounds like you are in playback mode with no images on the memory card. There is a dial on the top of the camera that selects cameras mode or playback. The manual is available for download here:

If you like this solution, be sure to rate it! Thanks!

i have the same - no solution i'm afraid as this is a problem with the memory on the camera, rather than something which can be set in the service mode

i have the same problem. no fall or accident but problem is same. i think it is common problem on finepix f420 and fuji has to find a solution for it. the guarantie of the camera expired and after that the problem happened. fuji has to repair them for free because the source of the problem is the machine. so it is fuji. not us !!!

Set date and time and camera should work. If camera asks to have date set everytime you take batteries out then the memory 3 volt battery is flat ... replace.
