Olympus Camedia C-60 Zoom Digital Camera Logo

Flash standby symbol and orange light flash continuously

On startup the red flash standby symbol and orange light flash all the time so I presume it's failing to charge the flash. Sometimes it stops after a minute or two but resumes after taking a picture. The battery is fully charged. The only way I can use the camera is with the flash turned off.

Try another battery. Take the camera to a shop to try the battery before you buy just to make sure. Rechargeable batteries do eventually die, especially if you don't give them the full charge up time. If you only ever give your battery a quick charge you induce a 'chemical memory' which makes the battery work for only a short time despite showing a full charge.

    Have you already solved the problem with this? Im using Olympus FE-5010 and I got same problem with you. Please give me updates. Thank You!

    For some reason my camera has improved without me doing anything. It still takes about 30 seconds when first switching on but after that it's ok. I haven't changed the battery or any settings.

HELLO MY kdf-e55a20 tV IS NOT WORKING. THE GREEN LIGHT FLASHES 6 TIMES THEN IT FLASHES RED 6 TIMES

Hi,

The Standby/Power light of the TV blinks when there is any internal malfunction in the TV. The Lamp light blinks when the Lamp requires replacement.
The self-diagnostic function of the projection TV will cause the STANDBY light to blink or flash when the television detects an issue. The number of times the STANDBY light flashes corresponds to a specific issue. As per the two examples below, some of the issues may be resolved without the need for service.
If the power light flashes three times in sequence, the lamp cover is not securely attached. Reattach the lamp cover to resolve this issue.
If the STANDBY light flashes four times in sequence, the TV may be overheating. To resolve this issue, ensure that the back of the TV is well ventilated.
This indicates that there is some kind of audio problem with your set. If the flash sequence is not listed above or the light continues to flash, follow the steps below to perform a power reset:
Try the following steps to check if the issue can be resolved.
Turn off the television.
Unplug the television power cord from the electrical outlet.
Let the television remain without power for 60 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the electrical outlet.

If the television is plugged into a power strip or surge protector, remove it from the power strip or surge protector and plug it directly into the wall outlet. If the issue is resolved, the problem is with the power strip or surge protector and not the television.

If the issue continues to occur, service may be required.
