Olympus Infinity Zoom 230 Camera I have an Olympus Infinity Zoom 230 camera. There is a flash mode button and I know how to use the various options against this. My camera has also an LCD panel (no green lights) and when the subject button is pressed it gives five options, viz BLANK>A Dot>A Figure>'C'>Timer Indication and back. Let me know when to use these modes. As the Olympus people were stupid and unable to help me, I am asking you for help. If you could tell me more about where I can receive more help also would be helpful. Thank you

Do you have or can you borrow a digital camera? If so, take a picture of the LCD panel and I will help. I assume the manual was of no help; if you do not have it, you may be able to find one used by calling a few camera stores.

Thanks for your response. I have a digital camera and right now I do not have a connecting cable and since it is much simpler to give the information graphically to you , I would prefer to do so. I do not have a manual and I could not get one locally. In addition to the Flash and Subject buttons the camera has also a green button marked [ 0.4m/1.3ft ], evidently for subjects of that particular distance away.

Thanks for that great diagram. Here is my interpretation: The SPOT mode makes the light meter read only the very center of the image. This helps you take better silhouettes or to get perfect exposure of a particular, small item in a photo. I believe the little person represents a portrait mode, which creates a The C probably stands for continuous and, when selected, allows you to shoot many photos in a row simply by holding down the shutter button. Try it out when you have film to waste. The little clock stands for Self-Timer. When you press the shutter in that mode, you will have a period of time to get into the picture yourself before the camera actually takes the picture. Hope that helps!

Darn it . . . Wish I had noticed which brand of camera you were discussing earlier!!!! I presume you are somewhere in North America. If you are and still need a manual for an Olympus camera, then call Olympus America at the following number and request one. It _should_ be free! 1-800-221-3000 -- John
