p.1 #11 · p.1 #11 · Olympus 300/4 PRO -> black EVF and inoperative camera | |
I am having the same trouble with the 12-40/2.8 and EM-1. I sent both in to Olympus and they completely reset it and could not get the problem to repeat. This was a year ago.
When I got it back, the problems repeated over the past year. Occasionally, the combo will start up and work properly for a few frames, but then it will malfunction again. I do not consider the camera to be the least bit reliable and do not use it anymore.
The problem repeats with my Panny 25/1.4 and 45/2.8 also and the 50-200/2.8-3.5 with adapter. Olympus is permanently on my POS list.
A possible source of the problem, in my case anyway, is I set the camera up for back button focus, using the FN-1 button. I want the camera to function the same as my Canons which I have used with thumb button focusing for years. Using the AFL-AEL button for back button focusing does not work with with my hand, in part due to old injuries.
Are you using back button focusing?
