I look through viewfinder and view is out of focus

I have an Olympus Stylus Zoom 140. I haven't used it in some time. Now when I look through the viewfinder everything is out of focus. The diopter adjustment dial does nothing to help. When the zoom is fully extended then everything is in focus. Any ideas? Thanks.

Olympus E520 digital slr. Only auto setting is working? On other settings, live-view goes dark(?).

SLR cameras are meant to be used with the viewfinder, not live view. Live View on SLR's is a luxury that point and shoot users have come to expect, sadly. I suggest you start using the viewfinder and disregard the live view altogether, since it doesn't always give you an accurate representation of what the photo will turn out like, and it consumes battery power at a ridiculous rate.

What is the button on the bottom of Olympus Stylus zoom 140

No. You just rewound the film. The pictures you took are safe, but you probably 'lost' the rest of the film you did not shoot.

View finder usage

There's a small button next to the LCD screen that allows you to switch between LCD & viewfinder.

Large, bright orange light streak in pictures

It does sound like a light leak, but hopefully all that has happened is that the foam seals surrounding the film compartment have perished and need replacing. With luck, this is unlikely to be expensive - check with your local camera shop or second hand camera dealer.

Date and time change

First you press the button called "MODE" and, without releasing it, press the "SET" button.
Then, the year will start to blink.
Set the year with the "SET" button. Once you finish setting the year, press the "MODE" button to change to the month.
Then, the same way with the month, day, hour, minutes.
After minutes, the display will stop blinking.
