Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended ...

Don't want to get your hopes up too high, but here are some things that you can do to try to correct it. They only seem to work for about 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty, they're worth a try.

you could try the new lithium primary batteries .. i think your camera uses AAA batteries .... the lithiums have a higher voltage output than normal cells and they last much longer .. they cost more but they cost about the same when you consider how long they last ..and the price is coming down .. so before long they will be a bargan ... worth a try anyhow to prove your theory of high trip point .. if you are using rechargables then some of those have a lower voltage than others .... many have a very high self discharge rate .. so you have to charge them just before you use them ... there is some new type batteries available that have a very low self discharge rate ... they are a new version of NiMH and they can stay charged for a year ... one is called hibred ??? another "eneloop" .. and i cant remember the others but you can look for "low self discharge NiMH ..the terminal voltage is slightly higher and they can be charged many more times then normal NiMH ... .

This is mainly due to the slow shutter speed selected by your CAM. in low light situations the cam chooses a slow shutter speed to expose the image adequately. Any shakes that may have caused during the shutter operation will cause the funny images.

use tripod or other kind of support to your camera while shootiing in low light (indoors) without flash.

Page 29 of your manual refers how to protect images (lock them and unlock them).

i dont know, just give to a fixer in ure city, if u do it your self , and they see that you taped it, your warrante fals away so its better to not fix by ureself

Check the power source, make sure the battery is fully charged.

If you have another battery you can try that other battery and see if the lens is able to extend and retract properly.

Try to reset the camera through the menu. If that does not solve the issue then the camera would need to be sent into Olympus for repair service.

Olympus will charge a flat rate repair fee for this product if beyond the one year factory warranty or the warranty is voided. The cost is $83.85 plus your local sales tax. This covers parts and labor, factory cleaning and diagnostic check, 6 month warranty and the cost of shipping the product back to you is all included in that price.

have you checked your settings so the flash is on automatic?

This could be your problem. I haven't worked on your specific model camera however the idea and construction has been basically the same in all the cameras that I've opened and fixed. Inside the lens assembly, right behind the front optic there are two magnets that are opposite each other. These magnets are there to close the lens cover when it detracts. A common problem with these small compact cameras are that they are dropped or subject to some kind of impact and the magnets come loose (there actually put in with a cheap little snap to save money) and the lens can not retract. The camera stops functioning because the lens can't find it home position, thus your left with a very expensive paper weight. So what's the solution? Well, if your handy you could get yourself a pt. 0 philips and open the camera. Be careful of the capacitor (it looks like a battery), it can remain charged for several months and depending on the condition could hurt you bad. Once the cover is removed you can remove the lens assembly and further disassemble it. Make sure that you mark with a pen the position of the lens because you will have to reassemble it exactly or the camera won't focus. once you pull the CCD pickup from the back of the lens you will see the out of place magnet. Put the magnet back, add a very small amount of Crazy Glue to it, and reassemble in reverse order. Your camera should be as good as new. Good luck!

may be its possible or any other problem comes in ur lense there should be a hardware problem u first go to the service station and get ur camera checked by responsible person.
