sent it to the manufacturer for repair

Hi. You have to take your camera into a repair shop.

Blown USB ports can happen. Most of the time, they still move power...like you can still charge devices through them, but the device won't be recognized. See if a hub will work.

Hi. I don't know if you accidentally changed something, but I would take all the pictures off. Download them to a pc then format the card. Then, reset the camera back to manufacturer specs. That would fix it.

I had an Olympus 725 which I bought in Dec 06, this xmas I went home to see my family in Ireland (I live in Australia) and stopped in Thailand on the way back, the camera broke when I was snorkeling, 4 days out of Warranty!!!! Same issues as you guys had. When I got back on the 16th Jan I brought it back to the shop, the guy told me my best bet would be to get onto Olympus directly and explain the situation. I did and they told me to send it in. I wrote a letter of complaint and sent it in with the camera (I also had problems with my XD corrupting itself, and I lost a lot of pic's). Yesterday when I came in from work there was note in my letterbox from Australia airmail saying they had tried to deliver a package to me but there was nobody home. Just found out awhile ago it's a new camera, a 795:) so I'm well happy. Will buy an extended warranty aswell tho, just in case. Sooo my advice is to deal directly with Olympus and not with any shops or agents.

Blurry no flash indicated photos in low light condition therefore slow exposure leading to camera shake remedy - use a tripod

Burn out with flash in foreground is not uncommon if you are focusing to distant object - the flash is calculating for max throw..

In order to charge the battery for the camera you need to use the supplied charger that came with the camera. The camera is not going to charge when connected to the USB port of the computer. Camera was not designed to be charged that way.

there must be some improper connection with the main board and the display ....you should be taking it to the service tech...
this cannot be done at home..you may end up damaging the sensitive controls inside

ways i am giving to you. try all one by one uptil it starts working.

1.reinstall the drivers.

2.check if the card is correct or not.
it might have came under someone's feet.

3.the port might be making some problem

4.if all these have failed,consult any hardware expert.

certainly if the camera is not working.........

some water might have swept in it........
there might not be any other except waiting for the water inside to dry out........

may be it will start working.....
otherwise u will have to tell te company,,,about this

I got these post from the Olympus website concerning about battery problem's. If your battery is described in this section, i hope you get solution from the Olympus support site...

Enjoy!

First do not panic! It is possible to recover your pictures if you take care. Take the card from the camera (powered off) and if it has a "write protect" tab then lock it now. Do not try and write anything to the card or you risk causing more problems.

You can either plug in you camera to the PC as it should appear as a “Removable Drive” or put the card in a card reader attached to your PC.

Next, if you are comfortable with using a PC then you can download a FREE utility that will recover your photos from the following link:

http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec

If you need something a little more "user friendly" then you will need to buy the software. If you search the web for photo recovery software you will find many.
One I have used successfully is RescuePro that used to be bundled with some Sandisk products. Now you can get it from the link below:

http://www.lc-tech.com/software/prwindetail.html.

You can try the demo to see what you can recover before buying.

Remember - Do NOT try & write anything back to the card until you can recover your pictures to your PC safely!

I think you have to wipe the lens from the inside. humidity must have caused that cloud. take out the lens module and wipe it with a lint free cloth

Throw the cam and buy a good one, this camera was bought by me to record the site photographs but with out a date imprint on them they are not even worth a tissue paper.

Hey bella143,
The length of the video you can record is not determined by the camera it is determined by the size of the memory card you use. This camera comes with a 512mb memory card, and this camera should be able to record about 45 minutes of video on a 1gb card which should be about 22 minutes of video on a 512mb card. This of course is assuming your memory card is empty. I hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Allan
Go Ahead. Use Us.

try formating the card and see if that solves it . else you have a corrupt memory card.

buy a casio next time

Not much help here, just to say that my U 795 SW came with a multi-language manual (incl English).

you can try this manual on the Olympus site at it seems to be the closest one to the model we have bought...

i am not sure if you can do this. I just press the middle ok button to get rid of the information.

The first link is to software for recovery of deleted photos, free.

The second is a paid link, but guarantees the recovery or your money back. So try the first one, and if it doesn't work try the second.
