Why my FujiFilm Finepix S8600 does not turn on?

  Christopher GrossAug 20, 2025
  Your FujiFilm Digital Camera might not be turning on due to several reasons. It could be that the batteries are exhausted, so try inserting fresh or fully charged spare batteries. Ensure the batteries are in the correct orientation. Also, check that the battery-chamber cover is latched. If using an AC power adapter and DC coupler, make sure they are properly connected. If the camera has been left for a long time without batteries or the adapter connected, wait a few moments after inserting batteries or connecting the adapter before turning it on.

  There are several reasons why the batteries in your FujiFilm Digital Camera might be draining quickly. If the batteries are cold, warm them up before use. Clean the battery terminals if they're dirty. Using M mode or having CONTINUOUS selected for AF MODE can also drain power, so select another shooting mode or focusing option. If using rechargeable Ni-MH batteries, discharge and recharge them; if they still don't hold a charge, replace them. Finally, ensure you are using fresh or fully-charged spare batteries.
