I use two Olympus 770's, one is my own and one at work. They were purchased about 6 months apart and both have developed this same problem within 2 months of each other! So far I just remove the batteries to turn them off I use two Olympus 770's, one is my own and one at work.

The power does not go off. The only way to make it go off is to remove the battery. Not a fun way to take pictures. :( The power does not go off. The only way to make it go off is to remove the battery. Not a fun way to take pictures. :(

How weird it is! I cannot get the camera to shut down. It will not change to playback mode or off although the power switch does move to both positions.I called tech support. Cost to repair is average $165 with Olympus. I haven't found anything more reasonable. Trade in value? $57.00 IF it's functioning properly. Seems better to purchase less expensive cameras now. I bought mine in "04. They've improved so many things, but this is as bad as buying new computers every few years. How very disappointing! How weird it is! I cannot get the camera to shut down.

Hi,



I have similar problem with the on/off switch, but worse ;) The camera
does not switch into the picture mode (3rd from the left on the sliding
switch), and the lense does not extend. I can turn it off and I can
take movies.



It seems to be a mechanical problem with the switch, which does not
properly connect. The fault has developed without any "shock" to the
camera.



Any ideas, beyond opening the case? (Costs of repair are above camera's value).



Thanks,



PK
