FAQ:

Q: Does the camera have a USB cable to upload pics into a computer?
A: It depends on the seller. Some sellers include a USB cable, while others do not. Please read the item description carefully when purchasing used items on Amazon as each seller specifies what is included and what the condition of the item is. If a USB cable is not provided by the seller, you may want to consider using an SD card reader where you take the SD card out from the camera and plug it into your computer.

Q: Will this camera take a 16gb transcend memory card? it's the larger card.
A: Yes, but you need to upgrade the camera into the new firmware. Visit the following website for more information: http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/compatibility/card/s/

Q: How do I view my photos on my Fuji s700?
A: Push the playback mode button - of the 4 buttons surrounding the menu/ok button on the back of the camera, it's the button on the top left (has a little green box around a green arrow pointing right on it). To go back to taking photos, push the shutter button.

Q: In attempting to download the manual for this camera, my Avast virus program went nuts. Says there's a virus in the program. Anyone else experience?
A: Type the following on to Google and the first link should be the manual: Fujifilm Finepix S700 manual pdf. Thanks!

Q: Do you know if there is a remote shutter option for the Fujifilm Finepix S700?
A: There is not a remote shutter option, just the 2-second and 10-second shutter delay settings which you can select on the back of the camera.

Q: Can I take pics of the stars with this camera? How long does the shutter stay open?
A: You can adjust the settings for different shutter speeds - if you are wanting to take photos of the stars (I'm sure you already know this) you will also need a good tripod.

Q: How do you turn off the fluorescent screen on the Fuji 700?
A: I agree with Paula - I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Is it that you want to toggle between the viewfinder and the full screen view? To do that, there's a little button to the immediate right of the eye viewfinder that says "EVF/LCD", which you can push to go back and forth between the two. To turn off the camera (and the screen) completely, push the power button on the top right of the camera.

Q: Can you upgrade the lens?
A: This isn't a full-on DSLR camera. From what I've heard, you can purchase screw-on adapter lenses, but other than that, no, you can't upgrade. The lens that comes with the camera is permanently fixed.

Q: Can I attach a lens?
A: No, you are limited to the built-in lens assembly, which is.. (f= 6.3 63mm // 1:3.5 - 3.7 ø 46mm)

Q: Is it a decent camera to use for eBay pictures? I need the clarity.
A: This camera is great for eBay because it has a unique built-in lens for macro quality. It's the cheapest way I know of without a DSLR to get very great detail. It isn't fantastic in low light situations, but not many cameras are, so that's kind of to be expected. It takes photos way larger than you'll ever need for eBay.
