Camera gets to "wait a moment" and then says battery empty but it's fully charged. Tried on several computers with same results. How do I get pictures from the camera? Is it a bad cable or?
Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.
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 ).

hello when you connected the camera with pc have you checked out the polarity ? if usb connector pluged in revarse polarity, it is harmful to camera.It is also possible that the spike of floating voltage went inside the camera. it is dangerous. So check the usb port, also cord, if it have problem you have to replace it. If so, i recommend olympus shop. ok ? bye....

If your camera did not come with a plug-in wall type transformer, it may not have rechargeable batteries installed when new.
For using USB ports for such non-data uses, you may require a software patch (driver) to accomplish this.
Your manual should tell you these things and if you don't have one, download a copy from the Olympus website.
Look for a link to 'support,' then manuals.

Use a separate card reader to download your pictures.

Your recharged battery may be weak. May be time to replace.
If the battery power runs out while the camera is connected to a computer or printer, the image data may be lost or damaged. It is recommended that you
use the AC adapter. Do not connect or disconnect the AC adapter while the camera is connected to a computer or printer.Do not remove or load the batteries or connect or disconnect the AC adapter
while the camera is turned on. Doing so could affect the camera’s internal settings or functions.
