Re: Occasional blank images, throw camera in trash or is there a solution?

Any chance you're putting it in your bag while it's still on, or alternatively, it's getting switched on while in your bag, and the shutter is being activated? I ask because this was happening to me. Seems like a most obvious course of investigation?

An other, far more distant connection might be that while this was happening to me, I also appeared to be suffering from a failing shutter button, which eventually rendered the camera unusable and required a trip to Fuji Canada for servicing (still there, it's being repaired, I miss it incredibly). I don't know if there is any connection between the two (the black frames and the failing shutter button) but it might be worth looking into?

Just thoughts.

Without the shadows, we cannot see the light. Music is what happens between the notes. Life is what happens while you're making other plans.
