CAMERA WON'T TAKE PICTURES?

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 cataloging program such as Picasa.

Hi,

There is a very easy way to download those pictures to your PC.

CHECK THE MENU IN SETTINGS

keep the camera in the auto on the mode dial

my olympus FE-170 screen won't show any picture. All other things are fine and working the screen just won't show pictures taken or a picture i'm aout to take. the camera is about 2 years old i've had no problems with it till now. Can someone pleeeaaasssse tell me their is an easy solution to this.

See if you can unscrew the battery door and find out exactly what the problem is.
Use the proper tools - screwdriver etc., etc. Check for any blockages - debris etc., etc. If the door is not broken you may just have to put it back on and tighten the screws that hold it closed.

power issue... you may want to try lithium AA or send camera to repair

If you have a card-reader on your computer, insert your card and all the pictures should still be there unless you have formatted your card.
Good-luck!

I had the same exact problem.The lens is not extending out fully or correctly, probably has broken or damaged gear or gears and needs to be replaced. Expensive repair done by Olympus. It is a very tricky and fragile repair on your own, requiring micro screwdrivers and soldering tool. I replaced my own lens but it was hard to find one.

I took the camera in my right hand and wacked it against my left hand.
It has been working for 10 months now and still taking great pictures.
