Olympus sp-800uz little camera icon flashes red when I press button to take photo

SOURCE: Camera will not take photo

I don't know which shooting mode you are in, but the red shaking camera icon indicates that based on the settings that your camera is in, you may experience camera shake (which is your image stabilizer or "is" in action). The yellow blinking indicator light means that your camera is having a hard time achieving proper exposure and that the shutter speed with be slowed down to reach a proper exposure. Extending the shutter speed means that you are at risk for camera shake (i.e. blurry image).
Solutions for this are:

• increase ISO
• use a tripod
• use flash

SOURCE: Can you use a haze or UV filter on the Olympus

Yes it is possible with a lens adapter. Search for Kiwiphotos LA-67SP800 or LA-67SP800. Or look at: http://www.kiwifotos.com/Pro_show.asp?Proid=83
On Ebay they can be bought quite cheap. You can fit a filter onto the lens adapter.

SOURCE: Installed the Olympus sp-800uz to

If you have installed the [ib] software from the camera, this program seems to be very unstable and buggy. I would recommend to use the new Olympus Viewer 2 software instead. De-install the [ib] software and download and install the (free) Olympus Viewer 2 software. It supports the SP-800uz.

You need to put in your camera serialnumber to be able to download it.

1. Did you try another USB port? It is possible that the USB port you are using is at fault. 2. To check if the camera and/or camera USB cable is correct, try to connect the SP-800 camera on another computer. Do not use a SD / SDHC memorycard in the camera at first, the software is loaded on the internal memory.
