Olympus Stylus Zoom 140 All Weather 35 mm

posted by Natalie74 on Jan 01, 2008

I open the slide cover, the lense comes out as it should and the pictures taken/battery/date information comes up normally. A second later, the info disappears, the orange and green indicator lights blink simultaneously and I can't take any pictures. Sounds like a fatal problem for my old faithful. It's been with me for years and I prefer 35mm to digital. I can't afford a digital camera with the picture quality and clarity my Olympus gave me. Please tell me it's something simple I've done wrong and can fix on my own.

I have the same problem

I know someone who can solve this problem

It indeed could be fatal, at least not cost effective to repair it. I doubt if there is anything you could do without replacing internal parts.
There are several of the same camera available on eBay and Amazon, cheap... less than 40$
You may be surprised at how little money a quality digital camera is these days. Many stores will still have post holiday sales.
Add up your film processing cost for a year. Just 1 roll a week is roughly 3$ for processing alone. Print costs are the same and 1 good sized memory card beat rolls of film
