Camera will not turn on, red light flashes once. Possibly because it has been overcharged.

Ok, You need a new Battery. (The battery might have died out of use or might have been overcharged and died)

Your settings are set for off the camera use

I did the same thing! Can anyone help???

User manual of Olympus Camedia C-720 does not mention about overcharging.
But a small part of manual gives the below knowledge.



This is not a solution you demand. But may be a little will help your battery question.

You may want to try taking out the battery and turning it around. Making sure it's in correctly.

Keep watch for Dragonflies,

if it wont load your icons and freezes before your xmb, put it into safemode and try restoring the filing system. to get it into safemode...

hold down the power button while the console is in standby. the light will go from red to green.it will beep once flash green beep again, and then beep a third time. after the third beep the light will turn red.

once the light is red, take your finger off the power button and place it back on the power button. the light will go from red to green, beep once flash and then beep twice quickly. after it does the double beep, take your finge roff. the light will stay green and you'll get a screen asking you to connect the controller.

after connecting the controller, try option 3, or whichever option is restore filing system. this can possibly correct media loading and will 95% of the time fix the console when it freezes before loading up your icons(the xmb)
