Your camera is defective. A number of other user reviewers have reported this same problem, usually followed by the camera failing. My camera seems to leak also, but not so badly that bubbles come out of it. It just gets foggy and stops taking pictures after a few minutes under water. In my opinion, this camera has terrible quality control and I am sorry I bought it. If you like the camera otherwise you can have it repaired under warranty - but be warned: Fuji expects for YOU to pay the shipping to their repair center!

I do encourage you to insure the camera through your home owners or renters insurance. Mine ended up costing about 13.00 a year and covered the sea life when it flooded. Its money well spent.
