Olympus U6010 will have a red lightning symbol displayed when you half-press the shutter button. After you press the shutter button completely to take a photo, the red lightning symbol will flash for about 2 seconds.

Although it has not been used, the red lightning is probably a reminder that the flash is turned on. As for the flicker after taking the photo, it is a reminder that the flash energy storage capacitor is charging. The flicker disappears after it is fully charged.

In non-automatic mode, some models will have a warning light flash when the light is low, allowing you to start flash photography. This does not seem to be the state you describe.
