Why Olympus CAMEDIA C-310 Zoom not taking pictures?
- D
  Deborah BoydAug 13, 2025
  Your Olympus Digital Camera might not be taking pictures due to several reasons: * The camera may be off, so turn it on. * The flash might not be fully charged; release the shutter button, wait for the flash to stop blinking, and try again. * The memory card could be full; erase unwanted pictures or insert a new card (download important images to a PC first). * The memory gauge might be full; wait until there is room. * There could be a problem with the card itself; in this case, refer to the "Error codes".

Why is the date wrong on my Olympus Digital Camera photos?
- J
  jodiyoungAug 28, 2025
  The date recorded with your Olympus Digital Camera images may be wrong because: * The date/time was not initially set; set the date/time as the clock adjustment is not factory-preset. * The camera was left without batteries; if the camera is left for about 3 days with the batteries removed, the date and time setting will revert to the factory default setting. Set the date/ time again.
