Olympus Camera: My camera model is D-720,i cannot open my camera

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 19:45:59 -0700

My camera model is D-720, and when it is turned on, there is a "beep-beep" sound and then it turns off, and I can see the album and settings when charging, so I don't know if there is a problem with the battery or the camera's motherboard is faulty.

the camera is really old though like 17 years old. i think the problem is in the battery itself because it's not charging as well

Olympus Camera: E-M1 stray shims

Sat, 24 May 2025 06:36:10 -0700

Hi. I bought a used E-M10 that needs repair (I think the shutter needs replacement). When disassembling the camera, I found a washer stuck to the magnets of the sensor assembly. There was another one of the same things fitted to the lens mount surround. From my reading these seem to be shims, that set the plane of the image sensor correctly. If that's the case, neither was in the correct place. Does anyone know where they go? They look similar to https://youtu.be/u3ew57pRNg4?t=231

Olympus OM-1: Shutter is stucl & film doesn't advance

Tue, 13 May 2025 16:47:36 -0700

The shutter is stuck mid cycle. The film advance lever moves normally, but does not advance the film. Also, the shutter button cannot be depressed, Can this be easily and inexpensively fixed?

It's an Olympus OM-1

Olympus Stylus 725 SW: Camera turns on, however what the lens see is black

Sat, 10 Aug 2024 23:34:23 -0700

Hello, I have a 770sw which I figured might be close enough to the 725, the camera lens would open but taking photos is useless as what the camera sees is black. other options seem to be working such as seeing camera roll.

Olympus Stylus Tough-8010: Camera won't stay turned on and she's sentimental pls help <3!

Mon, 22 Apr 2024 23:37:39 -0700

I know this is a long shot at getting a response but I absolutely adore this camera and don't have anywhere close to have it looked at so I may as well try !!

The camera can turn on, but the lens cover doesn't open, and it makes strange error/malfunction noises, then the lens cover flicks open and closed clickly before the camera shuts itself off.

If I bump the lens cover open a bit while it's turned on for a short period I can see out of it which is why I don't think the lens itself is an issue,

It's also interesting that the camera seems to work as normal (no weird noises) when it's on charge (the cover stays up but i think that's normal for when it's charging)- I can turn it on and it doesn't shut itself off

Any information on troubleshooting would be so so helpful, thankyou <33

Olympus Evolt E510: Why do I have to reset date each time I replace the battery.

Mon, 05 Jun 2023 17:33:59 -0700

e-510 Camera will not go into storage mode when the cord is inserted to the computer, but it does on the other camera (same make and model) the memory card will not stay in place, and it will not keep the date when the battery needs changing.
