Problem with digital camera

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

I own a digital cmaera..fuji MX 1200.. When I try to use it I get this hour glass and I can't view pictures or take pictures. Sometimes I can turn it off for awhile and then turn the dial to view pics and I will get the last pic up on the screen but I can not go back and view any other pics that are on the camera. Sometimes if I turn it off and turn the dial to take a pic I can turn it on and take all the pics I want but the hour glass will still be on the view screen. i know it's taking pics because I can hook up to the computer and down load all the pics I took. I just don't know what I am to do when this hour glass comes up on the view screen. I have tried new batteries but that didn't help either. My booklet says nothing about any hour glass. Please advise me on what my problem might be. Thank-You

That sounds like a bad camera, but one other possibility would be a corrupted file on the memory card. Try going into "setup" mode (if it'll let you get there), and format the memory card. If the problem persists, call Fuji tech support and see about getting it repaired.
