You did not say on the screen or on the pictures or both, because the manual says: This condition may occur when the camera is pointed at an extremely bright subject under a clear sky and so on. But if you have these lines in all conditions, the camera can be damaged. Before you panic, put the camera in automatic and shoot some pictures in normal light.

It would appear to be the battery or the battery contacts. Clean the contacts on the battery and recharge the battery. If still does not charge then get a new battery

What do you mean with manual focus setting? Your camera does not have a focus ring on the lens, the menu does not provide anything else than AF. The only way toy can influence the focus point is to point the focus field on the part you want the camera to focus on, press the shutter half, than farm the picture as you would have it and press the shutter completely.

The camera shake warning. The camera is warning you that under the current lighting conditions the photo may be susceptible to camera shake.

You don't need the Olympus software.The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo management program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

The most likely culprit is a slow shutter speed. If the subject moves while the picture is being taken, you'll see it blur. If non-moving objects show up sharp while the moving objects are blurred, then this is definitely it.Another possibility is camera movement. Try putting the camera on a tripod or a table or other steady support, then use the self-timer to take a picture. If everything in the picture is blurry, then this is probably the reason.The third possibility is that the camera isn't focused on the subject. Try taking a picture of the subject when it isn't moving and see what happens.

Try a fully charged battery and turn the camera on then wait a few seconds then turn it back off.
