Olympus Cameras - Page 7 - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

Okay so you're probably first thing I would do is make sure that the batteries and charging is good and the camera has power and enough power to operate the second thing I would focus on is the memory card they can wear out they can go bad and they can break I would try different memory card I'm also attaching the manual for that camera make sure you get a memory card that belongs with that camera even though they look the same they have different speed ratings on the card from 1 to 10 make sure you have the exact and proper memory card it's made for that camera or it will not work http://cs.olympus-imaging.jp/en/support/imsg/digicamera/download/manual/zoom/man_sp550_e.pdf

Something is out of "sync" or some part has burnt out to where the unit detects it.

"Take" a photo and wind the imaginary film on.

Sorry you can't find the deleted photos manually. Just try RePicvid Photo Recovery for Free. It could help you recover deleted photos from camera.

If the lines are on the images when viewed on the computer then its likely that the cameras sensor is the problem. This is a tricky part to get to as its the heart of the system. Might be time to get a new camera as replacing the sensor will be far more expensive ($150-200+) than a new camera. I had a look on ebay and they are going for less than $50 as they are an old camera now. Ive replaced my Olympus with a Sony Cybershot W830, 20mp and 8x zoom, direct from Sony for $150.

Send it back in service since is a new camera. You must have guaranty on. Simply as that. Do not try to open yourself the camera for whatever fixes
