Olympus Stylus 710 Digital Camera - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

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). 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 management program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

Hi Camera Dude, could you tell me what Westfield46's solution was, it does not seem to be listed above & my camera is doing the same! :\

If your pretty handy, You can buy the screen on Ebay, And put it in yourself, Just need a small screwdriver and just remove the rear cover, Just only touch lcd assy, Remember flash circuit is live.

If you are using a memory card, take no more pics until you've recovered the photos, take the card out of the camera. This is to reduce the chance of you overwriting some of your "lost" photos. There are many good freeware photo recovery software options that are available to help you recover your photos. This blog article reviews and outlines several of the better ones.

Yes you will. There is a way to recover your photos first before formatting, but it will require the use of software and a card reader. There is plenty of freeware software to do this, and card readers are relatively inexpensive these day. Please see the following: http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/recovering-those-accidentally-lost.html After you've recovered the photos, format the card in your camera to prevent this from happening again.

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The software for your camera is outdated and not supported by the later version of Windows, If Olympus does not have a later version on their website you are out of luck.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.

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.

I repeatedly removed, ref-formatted and replaced the card.  I did this 3-4 times and, while the battery did run down rather quickly, the card error problem seemed to be resolved.

I took some sample pics, download to comptuter, replaced card in camera and was delighted to find them still visible, and no card error message came up.

I hope this is a permanent solution.... and will have to check again when I have a chance to download again.

Search on a site such as Ebay for an LCD to fit your camera.
Prices should not be too expensive.
You may consider to buy another camera like yours which may have another problem but has a good LCD. Remove and install the good LCD on your camera, sell it for parts to recover some of your money.

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.

Regards
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.
