Pictures will not download into pc

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer. 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 ).

My 1030 SW beeps 4 times and wont stay on. The camera takes a blurry picture of whatever you are pointing it at and powers off. It only works in the review mode.

The system control board has detected a problem with the lens and is causing a shutdown to protect vital parts in the camera. The only option is a professional to assess the item.

My Olympus fe320 has a blurry screen & takes blurry pics. Is there a fix / solution to this?

Could be a steamed up lense or just dirt from storage. It is over 10 years old so possibly past its best by date but take it to a photographic shop and ask them for an estimate.

This is a very old site but i bought an old camera so hopefully i this will help me.

Hi, Please ensure that the batteries are brand new for the camera. Then, restart it once or twice and check if the error remains. You can also remove and then re-insert the current sd card. But if this does not fix the issue, you might need to replace the old sd card with a new one. Otherwise, you might need to take the camera to an appropriate repair shop. Thank you.

Olympus sp 590uz xd card not recognized by Mac

There are a few things you can try to get your MacBook to recognize your Olympus SD card:
  1. Make sure that the SD card is properly inserted into the card reader or the MacBook's SD card slot.
  2. Check to see if the SD card is locked. Some SD cards have a physical switch that can lock or unlock the card. Make sure the switch is in the unlocked position.
  3. Try using a different card reader or a different SD card to see if the problem is with the card reader or the SD card itself.
  4. Try using a different USB cable to connect the card reader to your MacBook.
  5. Check if your mac has the latest macOS update.
  6. Check if the SD card is formatted in a file system that your Mac can read (ex: exFAT, FAT32).
  7. Try running disk utility on your mac and repair the SD card.
If none of these steps work, it may be an issue with the SD card itself, and may need to be replaced.

The zoom of my Olympus digital camera sz-15 has opened by itself, and I tried to close it unsuccessfully.

Take it to a local camera store for professional repair. Or send it direct to Olympus. Camera repair is very specialized and needs to be done in a 'Clean Room'.

I can't seem to open both the battery door and connector cover for olympus 550wp

If you are having difficulty opening the battery door and connector cover on your Olympus 550WP camera, there are a few things you can try:
  • Make sure the camera is turned off and there is no memory card or battery inside.
  • Locate the release buttons or latches for the battery door and connector cover. These are typically small plastic tabs or buttons that are located near the edges of the covers.
  • Press and hold the release buttons or latches while gently pulling on the covers to open them.
  • If the covers are still not opening, it may be that they are locked. Check the camera manual or the Olympus website to see if there is a way to unlock them.
If you still cannot open the covers, it's possible that they might be jammed. In that case, it's best not to force them open as this can damage the camera. It's best to contact Olympus customer service or a local camera repair shop for a diagnosis and estimate for repair if the issue persists.

I have a Olympus zoom accura 105 and it freazes.

The issue you are describing with your Olympus Zoom Accura 105 camera sounds like a problem with the zoom mechanism. When the camera is zoomed in, it is unable to take a photo and becomes unresponsive. However, when the camera is not zoomed, it takes photos without issue. To troubleshoot the problem, here are a few things you can try:
  • Make sure that the lens is properly attached and tightened.
  • Try cleaning the lens, both the front and rear elements, with a lens cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth.
  • Check the battery and make sure it is fully charged.
  • Try using a different memory card.
  • Make sure that the camera firmware is up to date.
  • If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it may be best to contact Olympus customer support for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose and fix the issue or tell you if a repair is needed.
It is also possible that the issue is with the camera's zoom motor and it could be a hardware problem that would require getting it repaired by a professional.

I'm looking for an Olympus D-620L SmartMedia card reader

This memory card is known as an 'SM' type of card. Sadly this format is now obsolete and is not in general use like the now common 'SD' type. If you hunt around you can find a general purpose multicard reader that will take various different types of memory card. These are usually cheap to buy and more useful as it can read more than one card type. Something like the link below should do the job. Make sure any you look at have 'SM' or 'Smart Media' in the description. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hama-00055348-35in1-Multi-Reader/dp/B000IH1W20/ref=sr_1_3?adgrpid=57448009850&gclid=CjwKCAjw9LSSBhBsEiwAKtf0n-_AKryFKznwm__3Ul-GL0TOmO91KadjqGK2V4FtARbJd5m3_VXqUBoCNeoQAvD_BwE&hvadid=311310235362&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1006688&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=5544612184098298467&hvtargid=kwd-27614126&hydadcr=28180_1821132&keywords=smart+media+card+adapter&qid=1649235531&sr=8-3
