the flash keeps strobing uncontrollably and is driving me nuts! Also sometimes the auto focus goes in and out a million times and will never let me take the picture.
In some instances these problems are related. Either your film speed or shutter speed are set incorrectly for the lighting.
Strobe can be set to OFF in setup. Although it does help with ensuring you have the subject correctly framed before shooting in dark or lowlight situations
AF problem,,can be distracting objects near lens.. dirt on lens
wrong weighting selected.. try centre.. those red boxes you see when you press the shutter button and look through the eyepiece.. they form a cross generally If you have only one side weighted then the AF may sometimes play up.
read the manual carefully to understand some of these things. It will pay off with better pics
insufficient light wrong shutter s[peed wrong ISO ( film speed) as related to old ASA for film camera set to macro mode indstead of normal please rate my help++++Thanks for using FIXYA

Olympus e510 Appears to be similar to some below. Recently autofocus, and shutter do not clode in P, S or A modes, although the camera functions as normal in Auto or the pre-configured scene modes. Any ideas?
