Im having the same problem with my Utough -3000 olympus camera, and i had been doing a little research and i found out that your lens needs to be replaced. Lots of people are having the same problems. I would recommend you to stop purchasing olympus products or ask your local camera store how much it would cost to get it fixed:) lucky for me mine is still under warranty but this would be the second time i have had to take mine back to the manufacturers and it hasnt even been 2 weeks :( and now its going to be gone for another 8 weeks and i needed it for easter :( good luck on your camera..
