my olympus stylus 400 digital camera lens is jammed and it is sucking the battery out, how can i fix this?
I have this camera for bout a few good years and it isnt a bad camera but just the other day i found out my camera was jammed..i thought i just had no battery so i recharged the battery and put it back in but when i tried to slide the cover over the lens it wouldnt fully close...so i think my lens is jammed..it sucks because it is sucking all my battery out! the camera still works but it is just that problem..i kinda figuered that i need to unscrew the camera and try to fix what is wrong inside but i have no idea on how to fix cameras..i dont want to break it any more than what is already broken...but to just say the cover wont fully close so my lens thing is open...does anyone know how i can fix this without going to a mechanic or something???
You cannot fix it. Frequently on these pages I see people saying the lens mechanism is stuck and the answers from the experts are always to take it in for service. This seems to happen a lot. The question you need to ask yourself is if you want to upgrade or not. Your camera is only a 4mP sensor with only 3x zoom. This is okay but new cameras are offering a lot more.
Go to the Olympus website and send a message to their customer service. Maybe they can give you some idea of the cost to fix it.
Good luck.
