Why my Olympus CAMEDIA C-160 Digital Camera does not work?
- J
  James ArmstrongAug 14, 2025
  If your Olympus Digital Camera isn't turning on or the monitor remains black, there are several potential reasons. Ensure the lens barrier is fully open to activate the power. Check that the batteries are correctly installed. If the battery is depleted, replace it with a fresh one. In cold conditions, the battery might be temporarily unable to function; try warming it in your pocket. The camera might be in sleep mode, so press the shutter button or arrow pad. Condensation inside the camera can also prevent it from starting; wait until it dries. Finally, the camera will not operate when connected to a PC.

What to do if my Olympus Digital Camera won't take pictures?

  Adam RobertsAug 17, 2025
  If your Olympus Digital Camera isn't taking pictures when you press the shutter button, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure that the lens barrier is fully open and that the camera has power. If the orange lamp is blinking, the flash is charging, or a movie is being written to the card, release the shutter button and wait. If the card is full, erase unwanted pictures or insert a new one. Lastly, make sure the batteries aren't exhausted; if they are, replace them.

Why is the date wrong on my Olympus CAMEDIA C-160 Digital Camera photos?
- J
  Jeffrey CalderonAug 20, 2025
  If the date recorded with your Olympus Digital Camera's image data is incorrect, it's likely due to one of these reasons: The date/time was not initially set, so you need to set the date/time. If the battery is exhausted, this setting will be canceled, so replace the battery and reset the date and time. Also, if the camera has been left without a battery, the date/time setting is canceled, so set it again. Finally, check if 'ALL RESET' is set to 'ON' in the setup menu and, if so, turn it off.

How to fix a hard to see monitor on Olympus CAMEDIA C-160 Digital Camera?
- J
  James GuerreroAug 25, 2025
  If your Olympus Digital Camera's monitor is hard to see, the brightness may not be properly adjusted. Select in the MODE MENU and adjust the brightness. Bright light, such as sunlight, may cause vertical lines to appear on the monitor; use the viewfinder in this case. If the monitor is exposed to direct sunlight, block the sunlight with your hand.

Why are my Olympus Digital Camera pictures too dark?
- A
  Ann BarnesAug 27, 2025
  If your Olympus Digital Camera pictures are too dark, it could be due to several reasons. Your finger might be blocking the flash; hold the camera correctly, keeping your fingers away from the flash. The subject might be out of the flash's working range, so shoot within that range. The flash might be set to the flash off mode, so select a different flash mode. If the subject was small and backlit, set the flash to fill-in mode. Finally, if you shot a bright subject like snow, adjust the exposure compensation toward +.

Why are my Olympus CAMEDIA C-160 Digital Camera pictures too bright?
- D
  Denise OwensAug 31, 2025
  If your Olympus Digital Camera pictures are too bright, it might be because the flash was set to the fill-in flash mode; select a different flash mode. Alternatively, the subject might have been excessively illuminated; adjust the exposure compensation toward minus (-) or change the camera position.

Why is my Olympus CAMEDIA C-160 Digital Camera picture out of focus?
- J
  Jacqueline TorresSep 3, 2025
  If your Olympus Digital Camera picture is out of focus, it could be because the camera moved when the shutter button was pressed; hold the camera correctly and press the shutter button gently, as camera movement occurs easily with slower shutter speeds. The lens might be dirty, so clean it using a commercially available blower blush and then wipe with a lens cleaner to remove dust. The camera may not be able to focus on the subject, even if the green lamp lights up, so lock the focus on an object at the same distance as the subject, then recompose your shot.

Why do colors look unnatural in my Olympus CAMEDIA C-160 indoor pictures?
- D
  dickersonmariahSep 6, 2025
  If the colors of your Olympus Digital Camera pictures taken indoors look unnatural, it may be because indoor lighting can affect the picture's colors, so set the white balance according to the lighting. Alternatively, the white balance setting might be wrong, so adjust it according to the light source.

Why does my Olympus Digital Camera picture have obscured edges?
- P
  Patricia SpearsSep 10, 2025
  If your Olympus Digital Camera picture has obscured edges, it's likely because the lens was partly blocked by your finger or the strap; hold the camera correctly, keeping these away from the lens. It could also be that the subject was too close; check the actual picture area by using the monitor to take the picture.
