you can find them easily on Ebay or Amazon. DSTE seems to be the brand recommended by many brothers here for 3rd party though I'll only go along with Oly batteries.

Thanks bros. Was a bit wary of getting unbranded oem batteries after some bad experiences during my Canon days. How abt Wasabi? Saw them on Amazon too..

I had some really bad experience with Wasabi on my GoPro Hero 3. Will not recommend them to people I like.

new to this stuff now trying to expose it ...but it able to use other brand lens ?

 

[kevinhwc]

U can use other m43 lenses like Panasonic. If it's not m43, then you need a converter.

my e-pl5 just up lorry. cannot detect the lens when mounted. luckily still under warranty, now at oly service centre.

anyone had this problem before?

Jus bought my ep5 tdy and I am already having this problem! Is it possible to have it exchanged??? It is brand new!

The problem of it can't detect the lens ?

Assuming the lens was properly latched on , I suggest u try another lens to confirm whether it's a lens or body issue if possible.' if not go back straight to Olympus , confirm the issue and ask for an exchange.

If really doesn't work, bring it to the service center to have it checked.

Under warranty so just go there straight.

i just wonder how did you know it is not detecting the lens at all? was there any error message or some weird behaviour that the lens cannot be used at all or?
