Sounds like it may need a trip to the repair shop but before this, try
removing the batteries for several minutes to reset it. If it has a second
"coin" type battery to retain the data and settings, remove that too.

Call Fuji tech support. They have had problems with the CCD on the S2
Pro, and will replace it free of charge, even if it's out of warranty.
