The camera has a limited image processing capability, and it can't deal with files that aren't
exactly in the right format, including a header.

Chris, I had the same problem with my camera, so I wrote a program called
TVwriter to fix the images. It means that you can add graphics, captions
etc. as JPEG files to enhance your slide-show. There's a trial version of
the program at:

It works correctly on the Olympus 720 UZ, so your 750 will probably be OK
as well.

Cheers,
David

You need to create the same "directory tree" (and put the files in the same
dir
as your cam do when you shoot) and they should be nativ
"OLY'750UZ.JPG" not some postprosessed "AdobeJPG"

Many cameras use 'shortcuts' in programming display features, expecting
that the data they will display conforms to what the programmer just
wrote to the card. Often post-processing programs change the
compression, or other parameters, or add, or delete certain
supplementary data from the picture, rendering it impossible to display
these pictures on the camera.
