hello
I have a fujifilm S5700 and have the following problem:
device makes good pictures, but after doing a photo can not do another picture or zoom can not be used for 25 seconds. During this time on the display can be seen the movement in front of the lens. After 25 seconds I can do and can use zoom picture.
The device is used and do not know service history.
Can you help with any suggestions?
Thank you!
 
If you got it from ebay, people tend to sell things there that almost but not quite work. Return it, and get a better working one. I got a Sony camera that does not work about half the time of ebay. Bit of a pain, it worked fine for about a week then started locking up while extending the lens and won't focus properly in low light.
 
There is a firmware update for the camera you can try http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/firmware/s/finepix_s5700/

Just make sure you read the warnings and are OK with trying this. Also, the old owner may have tried and failed this update to cause the issue in the first place.
