Explanation
Remedy
In certain cases, due to static electricity or poorly loaded batteries, the FinePix S3 Pro microcomputer
may turn the camera off, even with fresh, properly installed batteries. For the same reason, the
operation of camera may not advance properly during either “USB mode” or “IEEE 1394 mode”. In
each of these cases, to resume operation, simply turn the power off, then turn it on again. Or, remove
and reinstall the batteries. When this happens, the camera settings may be initialized. Check the
required camera settings before using the camera.
Set the Exposure mode dial to “
M
” and
press the shutter button again. If the
warning indication remains, or this warning
appears frequently, contact you FUJIFILM
dealer.
