Try to offload images from the Olympus camera card.
Olympus cameras use a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen for playback of images and for composing the shots. The screen uses a similar technology to that of your home television or computer monitor. The screen is high precision, but subject to manufacturing anomalies--just like a television---that are common. They include black or bright spots of light that are not necessarily uniform. Other screen issues, including freezing, can be often be solved with troubleshooting.
Instructions
1. Charge the battery to see if the screen unfreezes. Low power levels could allow the screen to show an image, but not provide enough power to allow for camera operation. Remove the battery and memory card for thirty seconds, replace the battery and card and see if the screen unfreezes.
2. Reformat the memory card. Try to offload images from the card first. If the card has become corrupted in the Olympus camera, try removing the card, placing it in a card reader and downloading the images to your computer rather than using a connection cable between the camera and the computer. Replace the card in the camera and reformat the card using the camera.
3. Replace the memory card. Turn the camera off, remove the battery and insert a new card. Replace the battery and turn on the camera to see if the screen has unfrozen. Format the new card within the camera.
4. Place the Olympus camera in a warm place temporarily. LCD screens are susceptible to cold temperatures and may cause poor performance of the screen. Symptoms usually include taking a long time to turn on and color changes.
