Flash dont work on my fe 230 - Olympus FE-230 Digital Camera

    I'm having the same problem with mine. I have tried all flash settings and I have reset it.

    On the LCD monitor, after I take a picture, a lightening bolt flashes red once then goes away. No flash however.

    Is this repairable?

    The flash does not work on my FE-230 either...tried resetting as suggested ...did not work for me!!

    Also have no flash all of the sudden, I did reset, as suggested, but it didn't help; I get a red flash arrow and a green dot which appear right as the photo is being taken.

Have you tried to reset the camera to the factory default settings? There may be a setting that has the flash disabled. To reset the camera: have the camera in shooting mode - press Menu - left arrow to reset and press Ok. You will see Reset Yes or No. Highlight Yes and press Ok. This will reset the camera to factory settings. It will not affect any images that have already been taken. See if the flash is able to fire now.

The flash on my camera doesn't work

There are three reasons, open filament in the flash bulb, defective high voltage capacitor, and the step up transformer.

My fe 230 battery doesn't last long

Unfortunately, all digital cameras with zoom and flash eat up batteries pretty fast. The best thing you can do is buy backup batteries, and have them when you have some serious shooting to do. Also, rechargeable batteries don't last forever, and start losing energy after awhile. You can order batteries at a great price by shopping on ebay. Good luck!

I dont know how to turn the sound on so that my videos have sound.

The problem lies in that the FE-210 is not equipt with a microphone for video with sound. FE-190, FE-230, many Stylus brands, and newer FE- models have microphone for sound.
