Yes, it's free ;-) Assuming that you really did buy an Olympus FE-4000 then it doesn't charge in the way you describe. It runs from a LI-42B battery, and that battery requires a plug-in charger; the one that should have been with the camera is a LI-40C, but if you buy a new one, it'll probably be a LI-41C. You have to take the battery out of the camera and plug it into the charger unit. I think you should go back to Staples, and tell them that even if it's the floor sample, it's no good to you without the charger for the battery. I hope your free ;-) answer helps...
It's utterly worthless. Worse in fact, as it costs money to have rubbish collected. if you try to sell it online then the sales fees usually exceed what the camera gets and that's IF the camera actually sells.
It's a very cheaply made all plastic camera designed as an impressive looking giveaway item by catalogue companies and similar organisations. The camera comes in an impressive looking box covered with apparently high tech claims and purports to be a "professional" camera. Style-wise, the camera is designed to look like a motor driven 35mm SLR camera to anyone who knows absolutely nothing about cameras.
In practice they're often purchased in bulk for next to nothing and then sold on various auction sites, mostly they fail to sell but there is the occasional victim who buys one and some very unwise folks who pay a lot for them.
I haven't seen many Matsui Kit 3006's yet, but until earlier this year the market was flooded with the equally dreadful Olympia DL2000A and I suspect that the Matsui is basically the same bit of tat with a new name.
If you've bought one then I'm sorry to tell you that you've just thrown your money away. I've had to do the same to countless folks who have previously brought me their Olympias hoping I'd buy them and it's never a pleasant task. Unfortunately you can't even give them to children as toy cameras as they're too fragile and have parts which easily fall off to leave dangerous exposed components such as the highly charged flash capacitor.
I hope that my answer has been of use and has prevented you from wasting your money. If I'm too late, then all you can do is chalk your loss up to experience. Either way, I hope that you can take my reply in the spirit in which it's intended and that you return the favour by rating my answer.
Hey flakey61, One thing you can try is removing the batteries, and according to the manufacturer if you leave them out for three days or more and then reinsert fully charged batteries the camera should reset to the default settings and this might resolve your problem. If that doesn't help this camera is most likely still covered under manufacturer warranty, and you could call the manufacturer and set up service on the camera. You can also bring it to a Geek Squad® precinct in a Best Buy™ store and they can send it out under manufacturers warranty to get serviced. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Allan Go Ahead. Use Us.
I had the same issue. Unfortunately the camera had to go back to Leica for a new LCD screen. Mine was still under warranty -if yours is take it back asap bfore thewarranty runs out! If it isn't take it back to dealer and argue for a free repair as it's a known issue with the camera- Leica have had alot of these camers come back so you may have some luck with them. Worth trying anyway! Shame as it's a great camera otherwise...
