Check to see if your memory card isnt on lock....Take it out and theres a lock physically on the card

Hello,

Try the basic steps first by removing the battery pack and the memory card for a few seconds. Then, replace them back and check if that will fix the issue. If not, copy all the pictures from your camera to your computer. Then, using your camera, format your memory card and check if that fixed the problem..

On the back of the camera at the top are three buttons. The one in the middle controls the "macro" function which allows you to focus as close as 0.3 ft.

Lower the "exposure compensation". Lower the ISO.

Have you tried cleaning the battery contacts inside the camera? The problem that you describe is frequently due to a corrosion buildup that prevents the full power of the batteries from flowing to the camera. Remove the batteries and wipe the camera contacts firmly with a dry cloth (heavy corrosion may require cleaning with a wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue that may have fallen into the battery compartment during the cleaning, then wipe both ends of the batteries and reinsert them into the camera. This cleaning clears the problem about 90% of the time, and I hope it works for you.

Hi,
You can find your manual here....www.olympus.co.jp/en/support/imsg/digicamera/download/manual/zoom/man_c725uz_e.pdf

You find how to disable red eye function on page no: 63 in that manual.

For quick reference i am giving the details briefly,

The flash modes are as follows:

AUTO FLASH:

Automatically fires in low-light and backlight conditions.

RED EYE REDUCTION FLASH:

This mode significantly reduces
the phenomenon of “red-eye”
by emitting about 10 preflashes
before firing the regular
flash. This mode works the
same as the auto-flash except
for the pre-flashes.

To change between flash modes:

1 Press the (flash) switch.
● The flash pops up.
2 Press the / (flash mode) button
repeatedly until the desired flash mode
indication appears.
● The flash mode changes ,
● If / is not pressed within 2 seconds after the selection screen is
displayed, the selection screen disappears.
● To de-activate the flash (Flash Off mode ), push the flash back into the
camera.
3 Press the shutter button halfway.
● When the flash is ready to fire, the
(flash stand-by) mark lights.
4 Press the shutter button all the way.
● The flash fires.


Hope my info solves your problem,
Thanx for using fixya,
Good Luck.

I have exactly the same problem and I found, that it is probably related to rechargable batteries. If I use normal batteries, everything works fine. Confusing is, that I used to use rechargable ones all the time, but errors started few days ago. I also have two sets of rechargable batteries, but both are useless now. Maybe that camera is getting old and it needs fresh 4x1,5V from normal batteries instead of 4x1,2V from rechargable ones.

the little icon battery looks empty on the lcd screen? I would not worry about especially if your camera is taking flash pictures and lasting a good while....for my battery indicator on my two different cameras looks half charged and they high amp 2700ma. maybe its going over the mark. try putting in common batteries like duracell and see if it dont return to full indication charge.

I digicam that is Waterproof???? Don't believe that - unless it is in a housing. I suggest you dump this camera and get another and do not get it wet Wet and cameras don't mix This review does not mention a waterproof feature. http://www.digicamreview.co.uk/olympus_camedia_c725_review.htm
