My new olympus stylus 850sw is not working. The flash settings do not seem to work, and all the pictures turn out either really dark, or a bright white screen. I've altered all the settings, and nothing is working.

Just a "me too" post. I got my stylus 850sw about a year and half ago and it was working great till a few months ago. The flash only works about half the time when it is supposed to and often when it does the resulting photo is way too bright. When it doesn't work, the photos are way too dark, of course. I really liked the shockproof and underwater parts but at this point I'm looking at getting a new camera. Just a "me too" post.
