Olympus Camera Manual Knowledge Base
I'm looking for a online manual/help with the Olympus Stylus Epic DLX camera? I just found my mother's Olympus Stylus Epic DLX 35mm camera and I just loaded it with new film and a new battery and it's turning on, but there is a flashing "E" on the screen. I can't find the manual online or anywhere else, so if anyone knows anything about what this means I would be eternally grateful.
Light Writing with a Manual Camera? I have an old manual Olympus camera for about 11 years now (used to be my mom's but she passed it on to me when I started my photograph class) and was curious about something. I saw some pretty cool 'light writing' pictures on Google and was wondering, can you do light writing with a manual camera or does it have to be digital?
What would be a good camera lense for the Olympus e-520 ? I just bought an olympus camera, and the lense is a Zuiko Digital 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6. I hate the lense because the manual focus on it doesn't really do much justice or capture very well. I was wondering what would be a decent and in-expensive lense for this camera, with good manual focus and captures more crisp pictures.
Olympus OM-2n manual setting doesn't work. Should I fix it and how much it might cost? Hi, I have an Olympus OM-2n system in great condition overall. However, the manual setting on the camera doesn't seem to work. It seems that even when set to manual the camera operates as automatic. I determined that by setting off shutter at various speeds and relalized that it work depending on light variance. I have 4 great lenses for a camera and would really like to have a fully working item, but wanted to hear your opinion? Thanks

Help with Manual 35mm Camera? For my photo class, we are required to take all our pictures with a manual 35mm camera so i am using my mom`s old 35mm Olympus OM2000. looks like this http://i.testfreaks.com/images/products/600x400/22/olympus-om-2000.525078.jpg Unfortunately she does not have the manual anymore so I was just curious, has anyone ever used an OM2000 or a simliar Olympus camera and does it have a timer? (something where i can push a button/lever and have it wait until 10/20 seconds before taking the picture? I thought it was the little lever on the side of the lense but I want to be sure before i try. don`t want to ruin my film by accident.

Need help with FE-230 Olympus camera, it isn't being recognized by my computer.? It's connected, followed all the instructions in the manual, but it will only come up as 'Unknown Device'. From there, I can try to update the driver(which worked for several of my mp3 player's before) but it cannot find anything to work with(had the CD that came with inserted of course). Upon searching, Olympus Master 2 cannot find any cameras.
Reliable, cheap, compact 35mm camera with manual controls.? I'm in the market for a a new 35mm camera for street photography and general snapshots. It has to be small, either fixed or interchangeable lenses (i don't mind) and fairly cheap (£50 is my maximum). I'm currently using an Olympus Trip 35 but i don't like the fact that i can't control the shutter the speed and that there is only two to start with. A Leica is out of the question but thats the sort of size i'm after. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Problem with Manual Camera? For my Photo101 class, we have to do all our projects with a 35mm manual camera. I`m borriwng my mom`s old camera, which is an Olympus. Sorta looks like this one, maybe a different version but they`re quite similar looking. http://www.governmentauctions.org/uploaded_images/olympus-783295.JPG Anyway, the first roll I took came out fine. The 2nd roll I just loaded, and the little knob is turning and the dial is at 'S' (for 'start'). I took 2 pictures to get it up to '1' on the dial. But there`s something I must be forgetting because on the inside of the viewfinder, those little symbols are not glowing at all. It`s usually a little + and a - symbol that glow green or red depending on my light meter. But i`ve taken 3 more pictures already and they still haven`t glowed. They were glowing/working just fine for my 1st roll so...maybe the film isn`t loaded correctly? Or some knob/dial is not closed all the way? Is there something I need to do to activate those light meter symbols? (btw, she lost the user manual after she graduated college and moved here to NJ. I would`ve looked through the manual before asking this had she kept it) the camera is OM2000 Spot Metering.
Does anyone here have an Olympus 850 sw digital camera? Is it supposed to have a lens / shutter cover? The first page in the manual says that when you turn it on, the shutter cover will open... but the lens on mine is permanently exposed, am I missing something or is the manual a generic one. I phoned the tesco helpline but I'm not convinced that they knew what I meant.
how do i fix my digital camera screen? I have a olympus camera, stylus 600 model. when i look at the screen i can only see the right side of the screen.

How do you set the date & time on a Olympus camera? We have an Olympus C-740 Ultra Zoom camera. We cannot get the date & time set to where it shows on the actual picture. We have messed with it until we get so aggravated it isn't even funny. Does anyone have the same camera & can you tell me how to get the date to show up on the pictures? And yes, we have the date set, and have read the manual, but cannot get it ON the picture. Thank you for your help! If you cannot embed the date and time on the pictures when viewing or printed then what is the use of having that option of setting the date and time on your camera? What good is this function?
How do I turn off the display info on the playback mode on my Olympus camera? I just bought a new Olympus FE 280 camera. So far, I like it, but there is one thing that is driving me crazy... when I go to flip through my pictures in playback mode, the white writing of the picture specifications are all over the screen (which is annoying when you just want to look at your pictures and don't care about what ISO level it was at when it was taken). How do I turn this off? I can't figure it out and I can't see anything about it in the manual. Am I stuck with this?
olympus camera question? a week or so ago i bought olympus e-420 with the 14-42 lens. It took me 2-3 days to learn the manuals etc. since it is my first DSLR, but it is still a little hard for me to remember a lot of things. I bought a photography book to ... the one from National Geographic. But today i searched around google for some comments about e-420 ... a lot of them were like "this camera is only for beginners" "it doesn't have stabilizer = it's not good" "e-420 is not a pro camera ... it's just toy" etc. etc. and i was a bit disappointed. I really want to reach pro level in photography, but i don't think I'll be able to buy other camera after this one .... is e-420 just for beginners or you can make pro pics with it?

Turning off the display on an Olympus camera? I just got an Olympus FE-280, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn the LCD screen off when I don't need it. I read the manual briefly but I didn't see a solution, and I assume that it's a common button shared by many Olympus cameras. So please! How do you turn off the display in between shots? If you don't know for my model specifically, then how do you do it for yours? Any help is appreciated, I feel like a tool.
Best digital camera with manual controls (DSLR?) for a beginner and information on using a manual camera? I have been taking photos for years with a nice point and shoot. I think I have developed a good eye for content, but it is time to actually have good equipment to go with it. There is only so far PhotoShop can take you if the original is not high quality. My point and shoots are a Minolta Dimage Z2 and a Olympus Stylus 770Sw for underwater. I have a few lenses for the Dimage that have helped, but I think I am ready for the next level. I need advice on two things 1) Best entry level manual control digital camera - possibly a DSLR - at the best price for what you get (prefer under $1000 if possible) 2) Best book and/or other information about f stops, exposure, etc. that you need to know for using these types of cameras.
olympus camera memory? how do you insert the memory card? Does it snap into place? i put it in there but the backup icon still is not working(doesn't recognize it) please help! i read the manual and it's not telling me anything.
What's wrong with my Olympus digital camera? ? I have an Olympus, Camedia, C-350 Zoom. I haven't used it for a while and it worked OK before. I charged up the batteries and when I flick the front off the Zoom lens, as you're supposed to open it, instead of the zoom coming out and the camera working, the green light flashes next to the part you look through and the zoom part goes in and out a few times, then goes in again and the camera stops working. It does that when the batteries are low, but the red and green light flashes, but the batteries are charged and it's just the green light now. It works OK when I close the front and view my old pictures at the back screen. I keep trying to flick open the front if it's the way I opened it, but it just does the same thing. I lost the manual. After the zoom goes in and out a few times and the green light flashes, when the zoom goes in and it stops working, the red light flashes at the end. I know it isn't the battery, as the red and green light flash at the same time for that. If it needs fixing, where can you get cameras fixed?

Olympus Digital Camera SP-550UZ? I bought this camera and I am trying how to get the date to come on the picture. I really like my dates right on the picture. It says in the manual that you can tell the camera to put the date on when the picture is printed. However I can't tell if that applies to when you order your pics online IE:Kodak Gallery. I don't want to play too much w/the camera as I bought it at Sams and they will let you return it w/out a stocking fee. Does anyone have this camera and is it possilbe to have printed pictures w/the date on it eith printed from home or an online company If so, how? Thanks so much in advance for any help.
