I'd try returning the camera, I returned mine a month after purchase. Just go to your Amazon account and click on returns...see what happens :) Good luck!

(On mine) there is nothing that lights up when the button is depressed. There is a small round emitter that sends an infrared (invisible to human eye) beam to the front of the camera when the button is pressed. The camera must be programmed via menu to accept the signal. Since there was no plastic seperator on the one you received, i guess it is possible the battery is discharged.

Touch menu button, then touch the outer ring where the flash indicator it located. When you have selected the mode the camera mode has an automatic flash. This should fix the problem. Each Mode has different flash modes. If this doesn't work for you then it may need factory service. Hope this helps.

Did you put the viewfinder on the camera then go to Olympus to update for firmware? Be aware that the automatic switching wil not work on your camera so you should see the viewfinder and screen lit up at the same time.

This camera must be blinking before it is turned on.It should be red and when you push the camera button on the Transmitter, it will turn green blinking to let you know it is working. The switch on the camera on the bottom should be pushed to record or take still pictures.

Try plugging the cord into the power outlet first, and then plugging it into the camera. If the green light doesn't start to blink, then you may also need to hit the "on" button on the camera. (Apparently there is some kind of glitch in the software that stops some cameras from going into automatic charge mode.) You may want to check the Nikon site and see if there is an update to the camera firmware, also.

I don't have a direct answer for your issue but ... have you tried to "reset" the camera? There should be a small hole in the back near the ethernet port where you'd need a paperclip to get to the button and hold it in for about 3 - 5 seconds and release it. That may help with the configuration page. The other issues... I have no answer except to contact customer service.

On the top of the camera do I leave the switch kept on the Green Camera? I don't know which setting that should be on either. Do I use the flash with the flower button? Need more light? I don't know what my image quality should be set on or my image size, should it be set on portair, number of pixels to use. Sorry so much, but this camera is new and I can't figure it out. So frustrating. Thanks for answering.

Here is the steps to set up the camera. 1) check if the camera is fully charge and SD card is insert before you use. 2) Press 3 seconds "unlock key" button to power ON the camera. You can also press 3 seconds "unlock key" button to power OFF the camera 3) To start recording, press "unlock key" button one time after turn on the camera. The red light next to the camera will flash regularly. To end the recording, press the "unlock key" button again. The red light next to the camera will turn off which indicate that the recording is ended. 4) If the camera can't turn on, keep vibration, or can't functional as it should be, please keep pressing "key lock (mode)" button and press "unlock key" button one time to reset the camera.

Try resetting the camera. You might also try connecting the charger cord to see if a charge jolt would make a difference.

Thanks for the reply. We actually ended up returning the camera to FP after calling the help center and trying different cards. The card reader must have been broken, because the replacement camera they sent us, read all the cards we had tried in the old one... FP did send the new camera with no problem.

In the manual it says that there is a small light that lights up when it is charging..i plugged it in accoarding to what the manual says and the light has never turned on. I charged the camera over night and it will only turn on it it is plugged into the charger....anyone have any advice on this?

Hi, thank you so much for the speedy reply! I have performed a reset on the camera, as well as removing both the battery pack and the watch battery, to no avail. I did think of trying an external flash unit, and am currently trying to borrow one from a friend who has a genuine Canon unit to see if this will work. I have also contacted a UK Canon-approved repairer to get a quote, so I should hopefully soon know how much I can expect to pay. Thanks again for your help in the matter. Kind Regards, Andy
