Identifying an arising problem In my case, the camera behaved strange for some time just before the "focus error" occured. Once the lens was stuck outside when I switched http://digital-cameras.support.fujifilm.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/18423/~/focus-error-is-displayed-on-the-digital-camera. the device off, but after switching on and off again it retracted as usual. Later, when I autofocused once and once again (by pressing the shutter release half way down), the preview got more and more blurred. Switching off and on always gave me back a sharp image, but the blur effect remained. Finally, a friend of mine autofocused too much and the camera came up with the "focus error". After switching on, the http://www.manelu.de/uni/focuserr.htm LED at the viewfinder was blinking red for five seconds and the display said "FOCUS ERROR". I could zoom in and out (with a five seconds pause of a blinking red LED after zooming) but not take any photo anymore (the camera refused to do so, just ignoring any use of the shutter release button). When switching off, the lens just remained outside, making it impossible to stuff the camera back in its bag. First try: Cleaning the autofocus sensor A friend told me to clean the autofocus sensor (1), so I breathed on it and used a soft cloth to clean it, but this did not help at all. I tried this with the lens itself, too, but without any further effort. Second try: Brute force As I was still able to move the lens to and fro (by zooming), I tried to hold the lens on its outer ring (2), but this just gave me a "zoom error". Hitting the cam as well as holding or moving the outer lens while switching on or off did not work, either. Third try: Resetting the camera Remember the times when replacing the memory card or batteries and your camera tells you "date and time not set" afterwards? This gave me the idea to reset the camera.

Mrs S's daughter once had this problem until I eventually figured it out.

Look to see if there is a "reboot" option as these things are computers and sometimes things get "stuck". Odd settings can catch you out. On my Canon SLR you can remap the function of the shutter button so it does not activate focus (handy if you want to fix the focus position) but if you forget that you did it then the symptom is a "broken lens" that won't focus. The one thing that I don't get on with with compacts/bridge cameras is context sensitive menus. The thing you want to change depends on some combination of buttons being pressed before it shows in the menu. Apr 18, 2015 #6 RovingMike Crucifixion's a doddle... If it really is bust, you can send it to Fuji, but get a mortgage first. They tried to charge me more than my old x10 cost to fix the focus. (You must log in or sign up to reply here.)

This error means that the camera is not capable of communicating with the lens-usually as a result of the lens being dropped or colliding with something. However, sometimes this error pops up when no drop or collision has happened. Even worse, the problem is sometimes intermittent. Intermittent errors are the most difficult problems to fix with technology, because it can be difficult to know when the problem is permanently fixed. The Fujifilm website describes this as a "frequent" error, but provides no help whatsoever to help photographers deal with the issue other than to "contact the place of purchase." It's pretty sad that they don't even recommend calling Fujifilm itself to talk about the camera error that it created. Potential Solutions to the Lens Control Error First, reset the camera to factory default settings. On most Fuji cameras like the X100T, XT1, and XT10, you'll press MENU > Go to setup 1 (the wrench with a "1" next to it) > and then click RESET > OK. Wait 30 seconds after the reset has finis
