As far as I am aware, you can use the viewfinder OR the live view, but not both at the same time.
This is because a mirror has to flip up out of the way to reveal the sensor for the live view to work, and the mirror needs to be in the down position to reflect the image into the viewfinder.
Switch between the two modes and double-check if there is a problem.
Also try removing the lens from the camera and checking the position of the mirror. It could be that it has got stuck in the up osition.

My E500 stopped uploading photos. When I plug it in with the usb all I get is a blank screen. It's worked fine for years. Anyone have an actual solution (besides using a card reader)?

I have an Olympus e410 and had it about just over a year and it has been a brilliant little camera until now. i wanted to use the camera but it now wont focus properly. I can focus on long objects and close objects but sometimes it take forever to focus and wont focus at all. Please not that on close objects im not trying to get withing 1metre of the object. I have tried two different lense but have had the same problem. Can anyone help me as i dont have the money to buy a new camera. Thanks
