I may have worn it out already.....as i have taken aprox up to about 600 photos in the time i have had it???? maybe a little less or more.... last time i looked it had 560 on the file number starting from 0 when i got it....


needs a big sign put up house of beetle - dangerous do not come within 50 metres for fear of discharge and electrical shock syndrome......:D

236318 2004-05-13 22:25:00 Progress report : no change this morn with newly charged bats in it, and all night empty of bats anyway.

i have taken mem card out and now it is sitting looking rejected on the desk....
:(
what is the protocol now? never had to send anything back? contact who we bought it off ? or a local distributor? or Fuji nz direct???

236319 2004-05-13 22:35:00 Contact the retailer beet. Do you have a card reader or access to one? Just wondering if the card has died and the camera won't fire up without a valid one inserted. Guessing here beacuse I don't know how the Fuji camera's react in that situation but would think it would give some type of error message at least.

236320 2004-05-14 04:36:00 BTW, Hanimex NZ was recently purchased by Fujifilm, and will shortly, if it hasn't already, become Fujifilm NZ, so I'd say your warrenty is well covered. Biggles (121)
236321 2004-06-03 10:56:00 OK update : a little anyway.


heard today that it had to be sent away from original shop i bought it off, and yes it is under warranty :D
and should know by tuesday at the latest what is wrong with it and can it be fixed and when will i get it back....
the guys on the phone have been really nice and helpful,

so obviously the shop couldnt get it to go either, the guy on the phone had said they will test it first, and if no go then it goes away....
so its gone away....

so no other news, so obviously means i broke it good, like i manage to do to everything i come into contact with....:p


may have it back next week if lucky????


patience is not my best virtue and i miss my toy....:(

236322 2004-06-04 01:46:00 Hello beetle :)

I know you sent the Camera away to be look at & fixed :)

But just questions, what type of batteries are you using?

236323 2004-06-04 01:53:00 This was covered in a previous post - try a search?

beetle used NiMh rechargeables, 2 sets from memory
One is 2300 mAh and the other is 2100 mAh in capacity.

236324 2004-06-04 04:23:00 Indeed, Hanimex has now become Fuji NZ. Thanks for the reminder (I need to send my warranty registeration away.

While on the topic of batteries, I currently user a rechargeable batteries, close to dying. They are labelled:

Sealed Nickel Cadmium Rechargeable Battery 1.2 V 500mAh

They run out soooooooo fast. Do I need to buy some new ones 1.2V with more mAh? (I'm not a electrician) NiMh? What's that. I thought they were the really expensive $50 or so things that come with chargers. I can only afford $20~ :(
