    extremely unpleasant experience with Olympus Service Center

    The thing is that I'm not in SG, so I can't simply send the lens back again and collect it whenever it is done. I'd requested them to clean it slowly, then send it to Oly Beijing service center so that I can collect it, but they refused to do so and insisted to clean it for me overnight. I...

    extremely unpleasant experience with Olympus Service Center

    1. On 26 Dec 2007, I sent my 50~200 lens to OSC for cleaning, I was told that it took about 20~21 days to get it done. 2. After 21 day, I called to arrange for collection, OSC clarified that 21 day was referred to working day, which was about 4wks. 3. On the 5th wk after lens submission, I...

    Strange whining noise during E3 shutter release

    hm... interesting metaphor, as mentioned, i'll get used to it sooner or later... btw, you definitely won't think about digestion, but if you'd just got a new transplanted stomach, and it gave some weird sounds, or you felt full even though you still can eat somemore, you would definitely want...

    Strange whining noise during E3 shutter release

    icic, so when it showed 10 shots remaining, you took 1 image and it might still showed 10 shots remaining... it doesn't make sense at all from user point of view... nvm again, i guess i'll get used to it, sooner or later, again... hehe...

    Strange whining noise during E3 shutter release

    one more question, i have 2 4gb CF, 1 2gb CF and 1 2gb XD, for 4gb cards, the camera shows a capacity of 239 shots for RAW format, for 2gb cards, only 119 shots available for RAW, since the RAW file is about 11mb per file, the reported capacity doesn't seems right to me, am I missing something?

    Strange whining noise during E3 shutter release

    icic... thanks for the clarification, after getting used to the E1, this whining sound is kinda intrusive to me... last time I had a chance to hold my friend's konica minolta 5D and i think i never notice any whining noise, hehe... since i was testing my E3 last night after the battery's...

    Strange whining noise during E3 shutter release

    Just got a E-3 body, I noticed that there is this strange 'electronic whining' noise whenever I pressed the shutter release. Its something like the sound of moving scanning module when you do a document scanning, but at a softer tone. This whining lasts as long as the shutter speed. Funny thing...
