Camera dont work i have putt in new batteries but the is a moment red **** the camera is dead.

Sometimes the batteries will build up a memory if they are only used for short periods of time and never used to the point of going completely dead, so possibly getting a new battery online. B&H photo is a pretty good site.
I know some chargers have an output to the cameras battery connector that powers the camera, and if that is plugged into the charger it will not charge the battery simultaneously.
If the camera is working when plugged into the power source it usually turns out to be a battery problem. Sadly the only choice it to buy a new battery.

It most likely means that the battery is almost dead and you should get a new one.

FixYa do not supply any physical products, sorry. All FixYa supplies is information, so hold onto your postal order for the moment and read on....

In this instance I can assist you by advising you that your camera takes the Fuji NP120 / Pentax DL17 battery / Kyocera-Contax BP1500s.

You can get them from many suppliers such as this one in the UK and this one in the USA.

I hope that you have found my answer to be of assistance and that you soon obtain a new battery and get your camera working again. Please take a moment to rate my answer.

probably the bat is dead

I contacted the manufacturer and they immediately sent out a new lithium battery. I received the new battery in 3 days, charged it, and the camera now works like new.

1. Turn on the camera.
2. Set the camera to Still Image mode.
3. Press the Flash button to cycle through the flash settings and select the one you need.
The flash range: 3 ft to 6.7 ft (1 m to 2 m).

I had the same problem that the green light turned on then the red one, even though the camera batteries where new.

I found a solution for this problem, hope it works for all as it did for me.

The link shows the images of the steps you need to follow to fix this problem.
This problem actually is from low batteries or low voltage in the camera, but its not because the batteries are dead, it is because the batteries don't have a good contact with the metal conductors in the camera.

In the images you can see that the camera has a plastic cover for the battery contacts, so the way to fix it is to remove that plastic cover with a small screwdriver, and pop in the new batteries.

With that it should fix the problem. Hope it works.

I had the same problem. I had a 1 year warranty, so I called 1800-435-7732 and they sent me a new battery within 5 days. I just received it today and it works perfectly. Hope this helps you! =]

jpierre's solution (in another thread) was right on the money. Touch the positive (+)end of the 9v battery to the positive (+) end of the camera battery.Leave them touching for a few seconds (10 seconds should be more thansufficient). Seems these lithium-ion batteries are subject to a'digital memory.' Subjecting it to a volt surge almost three timeshigher seems to clear it.

In short, it works like a charm.

well if it´s new.... just go to a olympus dealer and ask them to exchange it
