When you transfer this pics at pc... they are black too? Could be a problem with the LCD screen viewer or CCD Image sensor go to bad. In both cases this isn't a job that you could solve yourself; this wrong include distorted images or abnormal colors, scratchy purple lines, blank or black pictures, and/or black videos with good sound being recorded on the camera's flash card.

I suggest check THIS LINK for additional details in this previous solutions for an Defective CCD (Charge Coupled Device) and next contact your Olympus service. I strongly suggest (taking into consideration the age of your camera) to evaluate the cost of repair versus the cost of a new camera with similar features, before making a final desicion.

Hope this helps.

While the camera stores the date (and a lot more) with every picture, it will not deface your pictures by scribbling a string of numbers across them. Any photo editing/cataloging program should show you this information. Depending on the program and printer, you can print this information on the image, in the margins, or on the back. For example, if you're printing directly from the camera you can turn on DATE under CUSTOM PRINT.

The date and time (and a lot more) are recorded with every picture. Just about all photo viewing/editing programs will show you this data. Depending on the program and printer, you may print the date and/or time on the image, in the margins, or on the back. Refer to the documentation for whatever program you're using to view/print.

Steps toRepair a Digital Camera Lens

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 ( http://picasa.google.com ).
