It certainly sounds like your display is broken. Replacing the display takes some patience, tools, and isn't too expensive. Be sure to keep the internal frame around the old display for use with the new replacement display. The one from Amazon isn't exactly what you see in the German You Tube video.

Double check to make sure it's not on "no flash" (lightning bolt with circle and slash through it) which youcan change by pressing the circle with the ok in the middle. If that doesn't work, turn the camera off, take the battery out,and then put back in and turn on. also make sure your camera is well charged. Otherwise, get service.

you know what, it say its a touch screen. when I first turned the camera on I kept touching the screen trying to scroll & push, cause its a touch screen right? NOTHING happened, great I thought, my camera is broken?! Playing around with it more, I found almost ALL functions even picture taking are done by hand with the dial knob or push shoot button. I haven't used a touch function yet. The VERY short explanatory manual dosent say if there is an option to make it exclusively a touch screen either. So what in this camera is a touch screen? IDK , I do know I hate touch screens lol

Thanks but what I'd like to understand is how it can be working perfectly one day, shut off while not in use, then the next time I turn it on, the image on the LCD screen is blurred, I haven't even pressed the shutter release yet, (and wouldn't due to the blurred and dark image). How can that happen? Why is there a need to adjust ISO settings when they haven't been touched?!

Not sure what is the problem you are having. I didn't have any problem with mine. It's great camera.

I really dont know if it will fix it or not. Your camera though is not the screen itself. So i would take it to a repair shop. This screen is very inexpensive but not easy to replace.

I don't have that problem. Your camera must have a defect. You should return it if you can.

I also had similar issue, solution to this was to replace the broken lens cover, but few days later when I was just checking the lens cover, its broken part came out and my camera started working again properly, only drawback is that I dont have any lens cover more, but still the functioning has not impacted for any reason.

Try a new battery. Mine has worked fine. Be sure camera is set on remote connection so the remote and camera "see" each other.

I've never had that problem although I do know that you really need to hold the button down until you hear the shutter click almost an old-fashioned film camera or the picture won't take. Hope you find a solution to your problem!

Perhaps you got some bad film, mine worked fine. I would suggest trying another film & if it happens again it may be your camera

It never does for me, I am very happy with it. It is a nice little camera for the price. There might be something wrong with your camera. Perhaps they can send you replacement. Amazon is good doing so. I hope it helped

I have had the same problem occur with my camera 3x! I had the camera repaired in Aug and Oct '07 thru Sony for just the charge of shipping it to them. However, it happened again yesterday and I'm looking into what it will cost. Their website says $141 because it's out of warranty. Not happy with that, so I've emailed their customer service. I was just looking online to see if anyone else has had the same problem, or if it was just my camera. How long have you had yours? I'm very happy with my pictures but not so happy with having to keep getting this thing fixed!

I'm thinking it might be related to the dark corner issue. I noticed more than one reviewer complained about this and there are photos posted up in the customer photo section illustrating this issue. I was going to purchase this camera myself until I saw this potential problem. For example:http://www.amazon.com/review/R1HXQU9INW3I2T/ref=cm_aya_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B005TGKX9S#wasThisHelpful

Hey there, I just had this same thing happen to my camera!!! The camera was not dropped or anything and it seemed to just appear out of the blue. One minute I am taking pictures and it looked fine, then I look down and the screen internally is cracked, the outside of the LCD does not have a scatch on it. I am about to send it off to Olympus to get a warrentyl repair, but could use any other instances of this happening as evidence that this is not my fault. Please let me know what you were able to get done.Thanks,Nick

Sounds like it may be a bad camera. I have no idea why it would be doing this. Did it function correctly before? If so, it may be going bad.

This is a pretty embarrassing story. About 6 months ago the screen went black. I took it to a store. I was going to get a new one. At the shop, it slipped out of my hands and it clattered onto the glass counter top! I turned it on and there was the screen working again! It has been working ever since! I love this camera. Weird, huh?
