Top 20 Olympus Stylus 710 Digital Camera Questions & Answers

Are you sure you did not change any settings? Looks like a wrong white balance. Try putting the camera in automatic mode. Not in any scene or manual setting. If that solves the problem, only use other settings, if you think you could get a better result than the camera. (that is in extreme situations0 99% of the automatic shots, can't be done better in manual setting.

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).

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.

Hi,This problem is due to what might be a voltage problem. please bring your camera to a camera shop where they can further more diagnose the problem. Not much can be solved here.

The software for your camera is outdated and not supported by the later version of Windows, If Olympus does not have a later version on their website you are out of luck. Windows Vista had a lot of issues. My advice would be get rid of Windows Vista and install Windows XP.It is far better.

Try the procedures in this tip.

It's possible some debris has gotten under the pad that would activate that button. My first try would be a direct blast of air from a pressurized can of duster. Sometimes it may take several shots from different angles. if this doesn't solve the issue it may be hardware related and would require a technician.

Hello

Thank you for using FIXYA!!!

This is a suggestion. If you do not feel comfortable trying it, you will need to take the unit to your nearest service centre. Feel free to let me know if you need any assistance.

The problem might be that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.

Use these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.

Firstly , try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.

Try holding the shutter button while switching on the camera.

Look at the lens , and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).

Try gently pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.

Another way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the camera is enough to get things going again.

Try hitting your camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of your hand.

Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair centre for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to replace the camera.

If it is still under warranty I would suggest you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.

Hope the advise is useful. please do not hesitate to let me know if you need any further assistance. Also, please be so kind to let me know if you found this helpful.

Andrea

When the line appears.. Press the menu button. If the line is still there, then the processor for the screen may be going bad. If not, then camera needs to be reset by leaving battery out for about 48 hours... this will reset all the processors. But it does sound like something internal.
