Troubleshoot Finepix Software

FinePix software comes with all FinePix Fujifilm cameras. This software allows the user to download pictures to their computer. Several problems can occur and you can take several troubleshooting actions to get the software up and running again. Fujifilm provides several different drivers and software downloads online if you should lose your CD disk. Always ensure that the software you are using is compatible for your camera. Take the appropriate steps to fix the software and be able to view and manage your photos.


Instructions


Troubleshooting FinePix Software


1. Go through your computer to upload photos if the software is not automatically starting or will not let you upload photos. Ensure that the camera is set to the correct mode. The camera needs to be on the DSC USB mode to upload pictures.


2. Upload photos by accessing them through your computer and not the FinePix software. This is another option for uploading photos. If the "Save Image to PC" button is grayed out and cannot be selected, then open "My Computer." Select the camera. This may be labeled as a removable device. Open up the DCIM folder and then the photo folder. Drag and drop the photos to a new folder in your computer.


3. Uninstall the current version of the FinePix software. Locate the latest version of the software for your camera on the Fujifilm website. Download and install the latest version. Many errors can occur because you are not using the proper version of the software. In order to import photos in the Fuji RAW format, the FinePix software must be used or Photoshop.


4. Add the RAW file plug-in for Adobe Photoshop CS in order to read the FinePix RAW files.


5. Add the Fuji website and FinePix software as a trusted program in your security software. Some errors will occur because the security software thinks FinePix is a virus.


6. Use a card reader to access and upload the photos from the camera. Remove the photo card from the camera and insert it into the card reader. The card reader will access the photos from the camera.
