Olympus C-770 won't turn off |
|
|
Suddenly my out-of-warranty C-770 will not turn off. It stays in playback
mode and the lens does not retract.
After the no activity timeout the camera does switch off but the lens
remains extended.
I just noticed after leaving the camera at home when I went out that the
lens did retract by itself (maybe I should go out more!)
Is a service visit called for, or can I fix it at home (like stand in a box
of sand, face north, select mode X, press zoom lever to right, press down
the flash selector button, and press the OK button 100 times)?
Meanwhile, back to the Brownie....

Try removing the batteries for 24 hours. |
Then use fresh fully charged or new batteries. See what happens.
A bad battery could cause some strange problems.
Maybe turning All Reset to ON may reset everything. You will lose all of
your custom settings if any.
In the top menu, select MODE
MENU>SETUP>ALL RESET OFF or ON, and press OK.
