20 Most Recent Olympus SP600UZ Digital Camera Questions & Answers

Use high-power (2300 mAh or 2500 mAh) rechargeable batteries

You mean, you see the flash logo on the screen, indicating the flash is charged, and then the flash does not fire at all? Or does the flash logo not appear on the screen? If the flash does not charge, this could be, because the batteries are low. Or when it takes a very long time before the logo comes on, same reason. If your camera is on automatic and you did not select flash off, the flash should charge, when you pop it up. The logo on the screen should come on, and when not enough light is available, the flash should fire when you press the button. Everything in the camera can go defective, but the flash on your camera is made, to last at least as long as the rest of the camera. So make sure you are doing everything correct (like in the manual) before you think the flash is defect. The manual is still online.

The circles should not be there. The only thing in the centre of the monitor, while shooting can be the AF target mark. And somewhat down the histogram. Can you remember, if something hit the monitor? or if the camera was pressed into a bag, so pressure could come on the monitor? Because I think there is a mechanical problem. Perhaps you better visit a dealer or a support centre, so a professional can have a look. In worst case they have to replace the monitor. (When that is not to expansive)

Consider 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 cataloging program such as Picasa.

Ok try this for you to determine if your memory card is defective or not, try to insert your card to a device that support the type of memory card you have. Then if it still doesn't work i assume your memory card is defective. But if the memory will work try to insert other memory card on your camera for you to determine if your camera memory slot has a problem.
