Try resetting the camera. You might also try connecting the charger cord to see if a charge jolt would make a difference.

Although I've read about it, I've never had the problem with my camera. There is a firmware update from Kodak to solve the problem. This is the link: http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17507/kw/m580/selected/true

Mine works fine it's clear without any pink circle. So yeah it might be defective that the camera lens are not working right.

I had the same problem with my camera and i added a little lubricant and cleaned it with a lens cleaner and it fixed itself.

I had a similar problem, but in my case, the lens would not open and extend. I looked at various websites about how to fix this type of problem (but on other cameras), but never got it to work. Unfortunately, it was just weeks after the warranty period, and because I really like the camera, I ended up buying another one, which -- so far -- has not misbehaved.

There should be a switch on the cord with an on/off button. Or try turning the lens.

I will answer as soon as possible. I am still waiting for my filters and adapters and LCD covers before I take my camera anywhere to take any photos. I just want to be safe. I scratched the lens and LCD on my last camera when I fell down, so I am trying to be extra careful. I will keep this email so I can remember to answer your question. Have you tried manual though? Going to the highest ISO would probably help with that.

No, it's not normal, it should work. Has you checked the firmware versions in camera and lens?

My camera wasn't grey market. It was Nikon USA. Still having troubles with viewfinder focus. Camera is being repaired for the 3rd time. I have a feeling it still won't work properly.

There's a little tab that locks the adapter onto the lens. You can see it engaging if you look while connecting the adapter to the lens. The first time I tried to connect, I bent the tab trying to force the adapter and the lens wouldn't lock. I had to bend the tab upward with pliers so it would engage the lens. It was all good news from there.

There is a white square on the camera where you attach the lens - line it up with the white square on the lens -then twist to lock-hope this helps

Dr. Smith thank you for the response, yes that helped, but I do have it set on 'M' and it still does the error 'FEE' so I am out of options. I cleaned all the sensors and made sure to listen to the 'click' when lens locks. I'm really unsure what is the problem now. Does this mean that I can only use the f/22 with this lens? Thank you so much! I appreciate your help.

First remove lens and set to red F32 and lock and reinstall. If that does not solve the problem. Consider trying this website. If this does not help let me know.http://photographylife.com/how-to-fix-blinking-err-error-on-new-nikon-dslr-cameras

Yes. On occasion I get a lens error that can be resolved by turning the camera off then on.

I would say try to find a way to reset the camera to all it's default settings to see if it was just something silly you pressed/touched. If that doesn't work, check your return policy. Other than that.....um....try a hammer.

Thanks for your reply. I don't think I have done anything to inhibit lens movement and I have wiped the lens mechanism several times with a soft cloth. I did contact Olympus but because my warranty period had ended several months prior, they were charging $189 just to diagnose and if it needed something "extensive" it would be an additional cost to repair it. I plan to purchase another camera instead of repairing it but it will not be an Olympus. Bummer, I really liked this camera when it worked.
