My camera makes a grinding noise please help

Hi, i have a olympus fe-170, and im having a lot of trouble, it used to work fine, and everything was great, but then right when i was going to buy the chip for it to start taking real pictures, the camera would turn on, and make funny noises and shut off by its elf, i thought maybe it was the batteries, but i put new ones in and it kept doing the same thing, the lens doesnt come out, or it will but will getstuck, i have no idea why that happened to it, i wastaken good care of it, but can u please help me on why it does that and how to fix it please?

Sounds like the Zoom mechanism is getting stuck (the system is trying to protect the mechanism by shutting off).

 

you need to send this off or take it to be fixed. these compact digital cameras seem to have problems like this all the time,

How do u turn off the flash on the olympus fe-170? im going to a clapton concert tonite and i need the flash to be set to off i tried everything and i cant turn it off....please help!...thanks!
Press Right-arrow (marked with the lightning bolt) repeatedly to select the flash mode. In this case, you want the lightning bolt inside a circle with a slash through it, indicating "no flash".

After the concert, don't forget to set it back to Auto, or the flash will never fire again :-)

Camera does not work
Hi there.
You have to transfer the files from the camera/SD card to the computer, then you can delete them and use the camera again.

Good luck and thanks for using FixYa!!

Olympus Camera FE-170 Problem in recording Voice
Recording moving images. Sound is not recorded

This is straight from your camera's user manual.

The camera does not have any way to provide sound with the movie clips. This is how the camera was designed by the manufacturer.

The FE-170 is not equipt with microphone for sound with video. Sorry. The only fix is to buy a different camera.Some with sound are:Olympus FE-190, FE-230, most Stylus brands and newer FE model cameras.

Hey carjoe,
I would have the camera looked at by an authorized service technician. You could bring it to a Geek Squad® precinct in one of our Best Buy™ stores, and an agent can look at the camera and if need be send it out for service.

Sincerely,
Allan

the screen comes on in scene and guide mode but when i switch to any photo mode i can't get a view. the little light at the top stays orange. will not take pic when i turn camera on it will not illuminate the back screen. if i change it knob to scene or guide mode it works fine and i can scroll through the options with ease. when i hit ok to change it over to taking a photo, all goes dark and the little orange/green light stays on orange. if i press the other button at the top for review, it goes right into review mode and the screen comes on again. please help. i bought it used and am wondering if i just got ripped. also, does it have any kind of internal memory? i've found that my regular memory card does not fit into this camera. whats up with that? what size card does it need?
