Question about Olympus FE-210 Digital Camera

3 Answers

BATTERY DISCHARGE I have an Olympus FE 210 Digital Camera and had been using the same for over 3 months. Recently I observed a problem in the same. When I put the camera on, I can browse on the LCD screen and can see the snaps available in the memory. However, when I try to click a new snap, before the flash could pick up, the LCD screen trurns blue and starts showing the signal "BATTERY EMPTY". I changed many sets of new batteries but the problem continues. I am not able to use the camera for clicking new snaps. Please advise if I can get any service assistance for getting the camera repaired. I live in Mumbai, India.

    This is my second Olympus digital camera.  The last one kept giving the "Battery Empty" prompt.  I thought it was a unreparable problem so bought a new one.  I bought the same brand because I wanted to use the same other equipment.  My new Olympus 210 does the same thing.  The batteries are good when tested so it does not seem that it is a battery problem.  I have read suggestions to purchase rechargeables but hate to invest in them and a charger when others say it has not helped.  Olympus must be aware of this since it appears to be a common and frequent problem with many of their models.

This is the worst camera I have ever owned. There is nothing wrong with your batteries. The Battery Empty sign lights up even when I know they are full. It happens all the time with mine. I believe it to be the contacts in the battery compartment. When it happens, quickly undo the hatch and turn the batteries slightly and then reclose and turn back on. Hey presto your batteries are full again

No repair for this one I fear. This seems as it has an internal short and this will not be repaired.

Can i use olympus fe-210 digital camera as a web cam

No. Like the vast majority of digital cameras it is not designed to be used in that way and so completely lacks the ability to output a live video feed.
