I have an Orange light that blinks after I take a photo and it doesn't allow me to take another one

The blinking light is the flash recharging message. You could try turning off the flash (if the lighting conditions are appropriate for this). In fact if the lighting conditions allow, the camera should default to taking a picture without the flash during the recharging cycle.

The recharge time will be longer if the batteries are low. If the battery is older, it will not hold a charge as well as it did when new and will act like a low battery. Try recharging the battery. If the battery is more than a year old, get a replacement NP-45 battery. If you believe the battery is fully charged, you might need a new charger, BC-45A.

The manual for the J10 is available here: http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/manuals/pdf/index/j/finepix_j10_j12_manual_01.pdf .

I hope this helps.
