I have an olylmpus stylus 410 digital camera and the flash won't work anymore. On a sunny day I can only take pictures if I turn the flash off. Sometimes when it is dark then the camera will take a picture in regular mode but the flash doesn't flash.Orange light is flashing in the small view finder. Red "lighting strike" is flashing on the screen. Please help because I love this camera

Are you sure you are using it in a mode in which flash is available?

SOURCE: Olympus Stylus 410 Digital is taking grey/black pictures

The problem you are describing is a problem with one of the chips in the camera that controls image processing. It seems to have failed and needs to be replaced. Following are the instructions to send your camera to Olympus for service.

http://olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_servicerepair.asp

Olympus will charge a flat rate repair fee for this product if beyond the one year factory warranty or the warranty is voided. The cost is $83 plus your local sales tax. This covers parts and labor, factory cleaning and diagnostic check, 6 month warranty and the cost of shipping the product back to you is all included in that price.

SOURCE: Telescoping lens opens but the view finder

Before trying the new battery, try cleaning the battery compartment contacts with a cotton swab dampened, not drenched, in rubbing alcohol. Blow dry the compartment and then try the new battery. Thanks, Dana

SOURCE: olympus stylus 7030 flash problem

It could be circuit, capacitor or the flash tube itself? Digital cameras are so cheap now that buy a new one is a good choice.

How do i turn flash off on my olympus stylus 410 camera

Press cursor-right repeatedly to cycle through the various flash modes. The one you want is the lightning bolt in a circle with a slash through it. For full details see the "Using the flash" section in the reference manual (beginning on page 72 in my copy). If you need a manual you may download a copy from here.

Remove all pictures from 410 digital

dear sir,


the problem lies with your memory card ahich is being infected by virus or corrupted.......


if your card is working fine in other cameras then this is the problem usually caused by viruswhich happens when you are receiving files from p.c or untrusted mobiles...... and sometimes it might be software failure also, which causes some of the menu not tofunction,the only solution is to flash ur phone software from the nearest olympus care.


thank you..take care

Telescoping lens opens but the view finder continues to flash an orange light and I can not push the button and take a picture. I have ordered a new battery to see if that helps because the camera is used...

I cant find the manual and it was my husbands camera before we got married and he only upload once before that. HELP!

Flash Not Working/Picture Not Taking Unless Flash Turned Off

well u can´t do much, it needs to have the board to be replaced. normally the repair centre just repair it, and if it is under warranty they will do it for free, probably the store was the one saying that u drop it to get some money.

OLYMPUS 410

It is something that seems to be a problem with the Stylus 410s. Olympus will not repair them unless they are under warrenty, I've tried. My best advice, and what I am in the midst of myself (I have 2 of these with the same problem) is to file with the BBB. Perhaps if enough complaints come through, they will begin to fix the stylus 410 defect as they should. Good luck. =)

Will not take picture

This has happened with 2 of our Stylus 410s. It has to do with the flash not working. If you turn off the flash, the picture will take. I am trying to figure out how to fix the flash portion myself...=)

RM-2 remote control

Remote control is useful when you want to take a picture without touching the camera (self portrait, night scene, etc.).
