I just saw a picture of your Olympus and it is clear it isn't fitted with a flash but a variety of flashguns can be fitted to the hotshoe bracket. A standard flashgun has a fixed flash and must be diffused or bounced if it needs to be toned down. There are programmable flashes available but these are more suitable for manual cameras. A model-specific computerised flashgun can communicate through multiple contacts of the hot shoe with a computerised camera and should provide the flash duration/intensity to suit the camera's settings. Maybe your flash isn't fully compatible with the camera.

If that camera came with a disk for software, it will have drivers on the disk that have to be installed.

Best of luck as good quality camera lenses are assembled in totally dust free environments. Even if you are to get the lens fully apart, the fungus may be not on but between one of the glass elements ( some are compound lens elements made of more than one piece of glass). You cannot disassemble a compound lens glass - a hammer works tho!. Not sure about ammonia but bleach is a good fungus/bug remover - but any chemical may well affect any lens coatings. If this is the OM fisheye as I think, I would leave any repairs to a good camera/lens tech - too valuable to stuff up.

Have you thought of looking in the manual ? There is often useful information concerning the capabilities of the camera contained therein.

The technical term is 'damaged' or 'broken' - it needs a service or repair

Just turn off write-protect on the card.

If you look at the information in the manual, you should find instructions. There are also several videos on YouTube which may prove helpful.

Depth of field depends on the lens fitted and the aperture used - have you looked in the manual ?

I believe I answered this query earlier today. The answer is still the same :Remove the old battery door. Replace it with the new one.

Usually, this red light is a sign that the battery is dead. Try recharging first. If not rechargable, change again with other set.

LCD screen is damaged, needs replacing

Try another known working media card to help you in your diagnosis of the issue. If it also does not work then the problem is with the camera.
