Question about Olympus SP-310 Digital Camera

1 Answer

Taking pictures When I take a picture, it says busy. It didn't do that before. I must have done something to do it. I hate it. I just want to take another picture. Also when I was going thru menus, I did something so I wouldn't see picutre I just took. how can I undo that? AND I am going to Alaska and may want to ZOOM as close as I can, what should it be set on?

You may have turned off the viewing screen mode. I've turned my off just to save the battery. There should be a setting/mode so that can at least scroll thru to view the images you've shot. As for the Busy Message my best guess is the memory cards full. My camera (a kodak) has the option to save images to a very small, useless internal memory or another card. Perhaps yours offers same - so switch to large memory. As for zooming in as close as you can, you may want to visit a state that's closer. Yea as you can see the zooms on the Point & Shoot cameras are very limited. Its only good for zooming into things that are just a very short distance away.

I took a self portrait with my fuji instax mini 7s but when the film came out, it was just white. I waited a few more minutes but it still didn't have the picture i took. What's wrong?
It comes out white cause you just took the picture. It takes a few moments to "develop" the picture that will be on the card. If you don't see nothing maybe the lens was covered...but it most likely be black as in something was on the card and developed.

That problem is usually cause of faulty capacitors on the power supply board...
If the capacitors is faulty your TV turn on after a lot of attempt until the TV is totally turn on...
In that case you need to replace the bad capacitors on the power supply..
How can you find where is the faulty capacitors? The bad capacitors is usually leak/bulged on top in that case you easily find it through visual check...

Hi,
Have the camera checked, it is possible the Lens just nudged off its normal position from withing one reason you are getting blurry pictures.
Have you tried adjusting the focus on the camera if you did and the issue is still he same have it check this will be something internal most likely the lens is at fault on this case..
Have a nice day.

TCS light on, ABS light on, brake light on, spedometer and odometer not working on my 2001 Saab 9-3 convertible, someone tell me which sensor is not working. Hate to take it to Saab dealer, all are crooks....
Well, it could mean that the emergency brake has not been fully released.The ABS system light is on if something has occurred within the ABS system. Something faulty may have happened there, get it checked out!

When on photo shoots camera will let me take a few pictures then gives a busy light and won't let me take another piucture until busy light goes off. I am missing alot of shots over this problem
The problem is that the camera can take pictures faster than it can write them to memory. It buffers a few in a high-speed memory location, but once that memory is filled, it has to be emptied to your memory card.

Your options are:
Use a smaller image size. Most cameras support small, medium, and large formats. Typically something like 2 Mpix, 5 Mpix, and 10 Mpixel images. Smaller images take less time to write to the memory card. If you are shooting in RAW format, this makes the problem even worse. If you don't know what RAW format is, you probably aren't using it.

Depending on the camera, it might support a higher speed than the memory card. SD is slower than SDHC, which is slower than SDXC. Check your manual and see what the maximum speed your camera can support and ensure your card is at least that fast. (IF the card is faster than the camera's ability to write, that doesn't improve things more than having a card as fast as the camera).

Be careful with your shots. There is probably an icon or counter that shows how many pictures left until if stops taking pictures. If something good is coming up, hold of on taking any pictures.

Buy a camera with either a bigger buffer or a higher speed interface to the memory card. I know, this one is a drag. My first DSLR could take only 9 pictures, then same problem.

THE lCD broken but the cam normal ,still on, can take a picture
Certainly your camera is damage by mishandling. Sometimes repairs cost more than buying a new one. so better ask first the cost of repair before having it done. don't hate it's your fault anyway. Charge it to experience.

My camera is a PowerShot A460. It can take pictures but all white
It looks like you took pictures on Manual mode and didn’t set the Exposure Compensation and Shutter speed properly. If you can get good pictures on Auto mode, your camera is ok.

Flash busy signal
This is perfectly normal, the flash uses short burst of electricity that are stored in a large state capacitor. This has to be recharged after so many pictures. You can go as fast as the SD card will allow even if the flash is charging, simply close the flash and continue taking photos without it, no effect apart from loss of some illumination depending on the conditions.

Busy signal while taking a picture
Have you been taking shots in continuous mode (burst)?  The camera has a built in buffer of fast memory where photos are stored before being written to the slower CF card.  Once the memory gets full the camera will not take another picture unless some of the images complete transfer to the CF card. You will notice a number inside your viewfinder (bottom left) the number goes down when you take a picture that is how much space is left in the buffer when it hits 0 the buffer is full it will go up as the buffer clears.  Note that RAW takes up more space and fills the buffer quickly.
If you get the "Busy" message even after just 1 shot then there is something wrong with either your CF card or your camera and you should take try another card or it to canon for service.
