the problem. They told me to send the camera in and charges start at $150. What a rip off. I can buy a new camera for around that. My problem is this. My camera worked fine, but then one day I turned it on and I can only take an initial picture. The picture is bright white and then when I try to go from regular camera mode from lets say looking through the lens to seeing it on the screen, it just has an insert on the glass I look through and then doesnt go to the large screen. When I take a picture it takes the picture and then the camera is back to normal every thing works, but I can not click the picture so it takes the picture. Zoom works (unlike it does when I just start it). I am confused, i did all the restore features, and I changed memory cards, I kept the batteries out for 24 hours, but nothing changes. I called Olympus and they tell me they cant do it over the phone and if I wanted to get it fixed they would charge me $150 to send it in...to START. Help!!

One thing you could try is to re-install the firmware on the camera. Here's a link to the official download from Olympus - it's almost at the bottom of the page:
