There may be a problem with the charging unit on the camera itself which will require service attention.
However first remove the Lithium Ion battery from the camera. Check that the contacts are clean - rub them over with a clean rag. Reinsert and power up again. Ensure that you have not turned the flash function off in the menu at any point by mistake.
Observe to see if the lightening symbol is flashing to indicate flash is charging when the flash is activated.
You can also return to the camera to factory default settings, set [RESET] under [CUSTOM RESET SETTING] to see if this helps.
If the charge light does not work or there is no change after applying the above solutions there is a component failure which will require service by Olympus.
Hope this helps. Please remember to rate my answer. Many Thanks.
The NR beside the flash Icon stands for (Flash) Not Ready. This again points to a charging issue.
The 80 you see is likely to refer to Error 80 which has a generic description as follows;
ERR 80: SHUTTER DESCRIPTION: This error occurs in the following conditions.
When the self-check system detects that the shutter has not been fully charged (ready to shoot).
When the self-check system detects that the shutter operation sequence has not been completed correctly.
When the built-in flash cannot be recharged after the E-TTL preflash but before the main exposure.
REMEDIAL MEASURE: Try clearing the error by turning the main power switch OFF and then back ON. If this does not solve the problem, the camera will have to be examined by a qualified service technician.
There is a link here to accessing the hidden damage codes on your camera. It does take a bit of reading to figure it out. It might be worth having a look at to see if you can further pinpoint the fault.
Be careful with this as you are enetering the cameras bios and you do not want to change things inadvertently in here!
I think I shall suggest this now as the final or alternative option on all my solutions!
i.e. - If all else fails and frustration builds - try a glass of rum whilst looking at the sunset and be aware this solution is best applied from a Carribean Island vantage point!
Heh heh - don't know how that would go down on other fixes!
Am glad you found the solution helpful and at least the camera is still under warranty so there is a fairly happy ending.
If you are happy to use the accept option on my solution I believe you will be given a rating screen from there.
Thanks for using FixYa and enjoy that sunset and do have a tot of Rum for me!
