Hi All... My first post to this group! I have had this camera about
3 years and it has been perfect... until today... I have not used it
for about 2 months and on switch-on the display was fine until I
switched to 'Photography' mode i.e. to take a pic. All I have is a
vertical bar of image down the left hand side of the display which is
about 5mm wide, the rest of the LCD display is black. If I press the
shutter button as normal it takes a pic. but the result is a picture
which is also about 5mm wide and vertical.
The camera is in 'Auto' mode. I have very limited knowledge of
photography so I wondered if I had inadvertently put the camera in
some special 'mode' or is this a fault condition? If it's 'finger-
trouble' can someone please tell me how to get my camera back to
normal (I've read through the book about three times now but I can't
find anything that helps) but if it's a fault, can anyone recommend a
competent (and honest) repair company in the u.k?
Any advice would be most welcome and appreciated. |

I know very little about cameras, but my first idea would be to make
sure the batteries are good. |

Sounds like a fault to me. I have a 601 and no mode should or does produce
this. You might want to try to open the files in a photo editor or graphics
app and see if it is only a problem with the display. In any case I guess
you will have to visit your friendly, neighborhood repairman

Dear Toby (and Bluezfolk)... Thanks for that... I had double checked
the battery situation and the battery was fine and fully charged, the
problem remained even when using the mains power 'block' so as you say
Toby it looks like a 'hard' fault has developed... I was wondering if
there was any merit (or otherwise) in returning it to Fuji for
repair? Thanks again, Richard. >> Stay informed about: Fuji FinePix F601 Zoom |

Hello,
Some years ago, many digicams of different brands contained defective,
Sony-made image sensors. I don't know whether Fuji cameras ever used
such components, but, your F601's symptoms appear to be similar.
Good luck!

Yes, they did. I read a lot about that online when my own Fuji came down
with sensoritis last year. Here's one of the things it was doing: purple
and green meanies. The text is from my submission of some examples to
Fuji's repair department.

For a while, that was inconsistent, thus the affected/unaffected shots

Hello, Blinky:
Thanks, for the info and photos -- although I, personally, have never
owned a Fuji camera of any kind, nor do I ever intend to.
As for Sony and its evil empire, I suppose the big bully must really be
proud of itself, lately. After all, it just finished conquering Toshiba,
in the Blu-ray-versus-HD DVD "format war."

For that, I've decided to avoid Kodak forever, and will purchase
the next offering from Fuji, whatever it may be, whether it has IS
or not. To be followed by a Nikon chaser, if needed.

No, Sony assumed the aura of supreme evilness, some decades
ago -- after RCA's various patents expired, that is. <g>

Once upon a conspiracy theory time I heard that Sony's in-house
name for AIBO was Nipper. Or if not, should have been . . . >> Stay informed about: Fuji FinePix F601 Zoom |

Hello, ASAAR:
Uh-oh! "Nipper" may be considered dangerously close to a racial slur,
