My Olympus Stylus tough 6000 will not turn on when in any picture or movie taking mode, however, it will turn on in the picture review mode so that I can browse through the pictures I have already taken, which also indicates that the battery is fully charged??? Any idea what the problem might be??

The best setting depends on what you're taking a picture of and, more importantly, what YOU want that picture to say to the viewer. The best setting for a portrait most likely won't be the best setting for a landscape, for example. You probably won't want a picture of a grandfather to convey the same impression and mood as a picture of his granddaughter, and you probably want something different for a picture of the two of them together.
That's why the camera offers so many different settings. It just takes pictures. You MAKE pictures by deciding what to include and exclude, whether you have a deep or narrow depth of field, and all the other little things.
The camera manual tells you what the various controls do. There should be plenty of introductory photography books at your local library that will explain the effects of those controls. I suggest taking one (or more) of those books, your camera manual, and the camera itself, and experimenting to see what happens with changing the various settings. Take a lot of pictures and look at them on your computer. You can always delete these pictures when you're done.

The problem is in the camera lens, the image sensor or shutter is the issue, it will need the attention of a camera technician.

Unfortunatly the Olympus 6020 does not hav a dedicated hardreset switch, nor a key sequence to initiate reset. So if you cant get into the camera menu, and reset the camera from there. Or if that does not work. The camera has to be serviced by proffesionals.

You can use a card reader to try to download them to your computer. You could also take the card to a store like Walmart and use one of their picture making machines.

Use the "Backup" command. See page 40 of the manual: Owners Manual User Guide for Olympus Mju Tough 6000 Digital Camera

I had the same problem and all I did was play around with the shutter .. I took a soft tooth pic and played around with the shutter, it seemed that salt from the ocean had crusted around the edges .. once removed the camera worked fine .. hope this helps

ps I had even bought another battery thinking it was the problem since when I connected the camera to the computer it worked, but I hadn't realized that when connected to the computer it's not able to take pictures, hence the shutter was not used ..

Hi, i having the same problems, can you tell me if you can fixed?
