If your FujiFilm Digital Camera isn't turning on, consider these potential causes: * The batteries may be dead. Replace them with new or fully charged batteries. * The batteries might be inserted incorrectly. Ensure they're loaded in the correct direction. * The AC power adapter and DC coupler may not be properly connected. Check and correct the connection. * The camera may have been left without power for too long. Load the batteries or connect the AC power adapter and DC coupler, then wait a short time before turning the camera on.
