help: E510 auto shut down problem

[rui51]

hi,
My almost 2 years E510 now have tis problem.
it will auto shutdown or work in wrong mode (e.g. i turn to Aperture mode but it still stay at Program mode)
is this a common problem for olympus E-series?
where can i send it to repair?
and normally how much will the charges be?
thank you!

never heard of such a thing. Think best to send down to OSC to service.OSC is located at Valley Point at River Valley

hmm , my E-3 doesnt have the same problem,
but a similar one.

sometimes the camera will just die off by itself like that.
not as in when its in standby mode, but when i focus, beeps !! , then click..the camera goes dead !!

have to put the switch to off then on again.
i only assume that the battery is going to be flat soon thats why it happens ??

i dint bring it to OSC cuz i feel, small issue, as long my batt is fresh of the charger its ok and will last, only when i sometimes left it out after a shoot. then put it in to use for abit again.
and ya, short of notes to after buying my new lenses !!!

My E-510 is also 2 years old.
I've not encountered such problems.

It's better to go to the service centre to get it fixed.

for anyone with auto shut down problems, i strongly urge you to visit OSC especially if you camera is still under warranty.

my E30 had a severe case of auto shut down and required a part replacement.
