Sorry, browse the forum again and find thread for RM-1 ($40), with link http://olyflyer.blogspot.com/2007/07/how-to-make-your-own-rm-1-compatible.html for alternative. But anybody has any luck find original one?

Any one knows whether dead pixel on LCD and dust in lens is covered by warranty??
dunno leh. I also curious about the answer. For sigma confirmed dust in lens is not covered by warranty so I don't think this is covered usually.
For olympus dust on sensor is covered by warranty, I think, as I got my E330 and E510 cleaned FOC. Other brands must pay I think.

Give Olympus a call, I believe all servicing is based on evaluation from the technicians and managers. Just give them a call and verify. Cheers.
It's probably in their best interest to do it FOC... if not, customers might complain their Supersonic Wave dust filter or whatever doesn't work and that will kind of dent their marketing of it. Also, the SSWF is also dangerous to clean by untrained hands, I was told by Olympus staff. The vibrating membrane can tear easily.

I believe the poster asked about dust in lens, not in sensor...
If there is dust in Olympus' DSLR sensor, they will most likely replace the unit, as the seal and SSWF is faulty.
just to clarify I did not see dust on my sensor but on my viewfinder. I think the mirror attracts dust fairly easily and sometimes hard to blow away. So I send it to olympus for cleaning.
But I remember owning a 2nd hand old E300 (no warranty) with dust on the sensor and cleaning it successfully myself.

Serious! You are a brave man. Thankfully I have not had an incident where I need to get my sensor cleaned up. But even if that ever happens (fingers crossed), I will rather send it into Oly to be carefully disassembled by a tech. The E-1 has got too many weather proofing gaskets that should be handled carefully by a capable technician. I don't want a leaky pro body...LOL.
Nah not yet...but i have my luck with Cathay Photo...quoted (without bargaining) for $68. But decided to order third party from ppcponline for Sgd 19.40 (including delivery) http://www.perfectpixelcameraparts.com/shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=96 kudos to Marky . Will update if the remote works as it should

$68 for it is crazy...
Got my wannabe rm-1 (jianisi) remote shutter...here is a short review
Size: 3.3x8.5x0.6cm (taller than rm-1, abt the same size as apple mac remote n fit into my palm ok). Package comes with remote, battery and lame instruction (I have to browse the internet to find out what the buttons are for). Comes with one button less (no channel button), the rest most important buttons functions par excellence.
Tried to widen effective area, 60º with shorter distance and it still works (indoor). So if u r thinking of getting rm-1, considers another option.

Calling all E510 users... would like to find out what in cam settings you guys use in your day to day shoots??.. thanks...
mine's still the same since i got it from the box, apart from the swap in fn/ae-l buttons and their functions, and the file resolution and compression.
It works fine, i'm using E510 by the way. Tried and tested just recently (again, just to make sure) at chinese garden for lantern festival.
