p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Help with Olympus Evolt E-30 IS system


Picked up a E-30 the other day and trying to determine if the IS is working or not. All that I have read says that IS cannot be viewed through the VF like on my OMD-EM1 but that can be viewed and heard in LV. Anyway I switch to LV, hit the OK button for 10X magnification the picture jumps while focusing then for a brief instance stabilizes then returns to jumpy. I do not hear any IS working either. Now when I shut it off I hear a rattle. How can I test to make sure IS is functioning correctly?

The IS system is quite quiet in the E-30, unlike the E-M1. You will hear a rattle when shut off, but little noise when engaged.

Best way to test is to take a set of handheld exposures at 1/15 of a second or slower. If the majority aren't blurred, your IS system is working.

I don't recall IS being visible in LV on the E-30, but it's been a few years since I sold mine.
