Has anyone here used a Fuji Finepix 2650 camera? I've had one since May without problems until recently. It's not focusing when I zoom.

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

Check your manual
You may want to dig out your owner's manual. This is a "point and shoot" camera, which means you can point your camera and it will automatically take care of the focus. Somewhere you must've changed your camera settings from Auto to Manual.
I have a video camera that had the same problems when I was storm chasing. Every time I pointed my camera to the sky and clouds, it would go whacko trying to focus. I checked the manual and found out how I can set it for manual focus.
Sounds like your problem is the exact opposite of mine. Check it out!!
Thanks! LJK.

Get Another Camera!
If Shawn was correct, that particular camera brand may be on its way out. You can either try to get another of the same model on clearance at a Radio Shack store. Or break your piggy bank and invest in a newer one. Sorry I couldn't help.

I recently toured a home (for purchase) and took the camera with me. While my wife and the realtor talked... I walked through the house snapping pictures. Some were blurry and I noticed that if there were nearby objects just off from the focal point, the image was blurry.
Example.. I shot a bedroom but stood in the bathroom to do it, which meant the door frame was just on the very edge of the image, but on both attempts, it was blurry.
Maybe that helps? Maybe not?

I wish it was that simple. The above image was taken like a foot away on my futon.
