  If your Olympus Digital Camera does not turn on or the function buttons are unresponsive, first ensure the power is on by pressing the POWER switch. If that doesn't work, the battery may be exhausted, so charge it. In cold conditions, warm the battery in your pocket. Also, check if the camera is in sleep mode; if so, press the shutter or zoom button. Lastly, the camera will not operate while connected to a computer.

  If your Olympus Digital Camera isn't taking pictures when you press the shutter button, the battery might be exhausted, so charge it. Ensure the camera isn't in playback mode by setting the mode dial to a mode other than q or X. If the flash is charging, wait until the # (flash charge) indication stops blinking. Also, the card might be full; erase unwanted pictures or insert a new card, remembering to download important images first. Check if the battery ran out of power during shooting, indicated by the monitor turning off or the battery check indicator blinking, and charge the battery. Finally, wait until there is space in the memory gauge.

  If pictures you've taken don't appear on the monitor of your Olympus Digital Camera, ensure the power is on and set the mode dial to q or X, then press the POWER switch. If it's in shooting mode, press the QUICK VIEW button or set the mode dial to q or X. If “NO PICTURE” is displayed, it means there are no pictures on the card, so record some. The monitor also won't function if the camera is connected to a TV.

  If the monitor on your Olympus Digital Camera is hard to see, condensation might be inside the camera; turn it off and wait until it dries. Adjust the monitor's brightness by selecting [s] in the mode menu. If the monitor is exposed to direct sunlight, block the sunlight with your hand. Note that vertical lines may appear when aiming at a bright subject in sunlight, which is not a malfunction.

  Brandon MartinezAug 31, 2025
  If the battery run time of your Olympus Digital Camera is brief, it could be due to using the camera in a cold environment, as battery performance deteriorates in low temperatures. Keep the camera warm by putting it inside your coat or clothing. Also, the remaining battery power might not be indicated correctly; if consumption fluctuates, charge the battery.

  If your Olympus Digital Camera printer fails to connect, it may be because PC was selected on the monitor after connecting the camera to the printer with the USB cable. Remove the USB cable and start again from Step 1 of “Connecting the camera to a printer.” Also, the printer may not support PictBridge; refer to the printer’s instruction manual or contact the manufacturer.
