I have an Olympus Stylus 850 SW. It takes

Perhaps you (accidentally) switched the card to lock? or pressed the write protect button for some pictures?
Make sure the lock switch on the card is in the up position like on the picture:

You have used it 100 time or took 100 photos?
If the camera is still within the warranty period Olympus will repair or replace it.

make sure you have all the pictures removed then format the card using the camera. it should be in options.

i don't have the solution but i experienced the same problem on my olympus 850sw

Hello :

The problem is not with the cord . But it's with the computer .

I'll give a solution assuming that you are using [ Windows XP ] as an Operating system . This can also go with [ Win 7 or Win Vista ] .

...................


1: Go to start


2: Go to all programs


3: Go to accessories .


4: Go to system tools .

5: Click on [ restore ]

Now you will see many restoring points . Try to remember which point or time the ( Olympus Stylus ) was working fine .

6: You need to restore your system to that point or time .

7: The system will restore itself to the point you chose and will reboot .

8:After rebooting plug in your Camera USB cable to try if that worked or not . It should work . If not , then the problem is with the Camera . For that you need to reset the Camera and try again .
If that didn't help , then there must be a hardware failure with the camera and it needs to be serviced .

Please don't forget to rate !

good luck .
