Intermittent E-300 cannot AF

lokewl · 18th December 2004

Hello, any E-300 user encounter this problem.

When you turn on the camera, the camera cannot AF and the aperture display does not register any value? After turning the camera off and on, the camera is back to normal.

Got this issue a couple of times this morning.

Last time when I tested E1 also have this problem on the macro lens. After I use other lens, the camera problem solved. Strange ...

not sure is the same problem you encountered ..

i only experience it when using P-mode after letting camera idle .
the shutter & aperture setting show dashes..

but once u trigger the shutter, it all comes back.

Symptoms similar to Chii on few occasion.

Anyway, i have brought it down to the shop that I've bought the camera and ask them exchange another unit for me. Luckily, manage to reproduce the problem at the shop.

Thanks Megaweb for your feedback.
