Digicam problem

[panterica]

ano kaya problema ng digicam ko? my digicam is an Olympus SP-310, pag-on ko, may display naman sa lcd, kaso black yung picture, pag try ko ishoot nagfaflash naman kaso pag preview ko black pa rin, pag tinignan ko yung mga lumang pics na kinunan ko na naka-save sa memory navi-view naman, hindi naman nababagsak yung digicam.

ano kaya problema?

YOU KNOW MR MARK, THE OLYMPUS CAMERA HAS MANY SHOOTING MODES.
DEPENDING ON THE MODEL.
TRY TO SWITCH TO OTHER MODES BY TURNING ON THE KNOB LOC ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAM.

BASED FM UR  STORY, I ASSUME THAT UR CAM IS SET AT THE "CANDLELIGHT" MODE OR THE "SCRIPT OR TEXT MODE" OR THE "AUCTION MODE".  ALSO CHECK UR BATTERY. THE DIGICAM SUCKS POWER.

[panterica]

i already tried to switch to other modes, same lang din, blackout, (except preview mode).

i already put fresh batteries and newly charged batteries, ganon din eh.

IF THE SHOOTING MODE'S NOT THE PROBLEM,
PROBABLY IT COULD BE THE MEMORY CARD.
YOU SEE THE MEMORY CARD IS NOT A VERY SAFE STORAGE.
AND THE FACT THAT U CAN STILL VIEW YOUR OLD PICS IN GOOD CONDITION
PROVES THAT UR CAM'S LCD IS STILL OPERATIONAL.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR YOUR PROBLEM IS TO SAVE THE OLD PICTURES IN YOUR OLYMPUS
SOFTWARE AND FORMAT YOUR MEMORY CARD.

hmm... based from the results, my main suspect would be the shutter.

I believe that the Olympus site in Cebu you saw is a trading firm, not the digital camera company. (Oh, btw, it's sis)

solb na ba problem mo tol?? panong black out? kung nabubuo naman yung mga pics ibig sabihin ok pa yung sensor nyan.. baka napintot lang yung display.. hehehe

[panterica]

di pa rin solved sir, hindi nabubuo yung mga pics, black din pag tinry ko kunan, pag preview ko black lang din, ang nakikita ko lang yung mga dating shots nung ok pa yung camera.

[oloc]

i have the same problem with a sony videocam... black lang sa record mode. pero pag playback, ok naman.

hindi ko pa naasikaso pa repair. pls pm me sir kung naayos na unit mo para may idea ako kung papano papaayos yung sa akin.

thanks po.

Baka may na reset sa setting.  Or maybe try to look over the settings baka may discrepancy kang makita.  Or to try resetting it to default mode.
