Does Panorama works on E-500?

OlyFlyer · 12th November 2006

Hi,
Just bought a Sandisk xD 1GB Type H card to fill the empty space in my camera's memory slot. My main intention was to use it as a second card, in case the CF is filled and I don't want to switch CF or don't have time or all CFs are filled or... whatever. Anyway, it is a waste of space, so I decided to get one. Now that I have one, I would like to know if any of the Oly functions work with the xD card in an E-500. Has anybody tried that? How is it enabled and done? I can't find anything in the advanced manual.

BTW, the card is a high speed type, but it is very slow compared with my CF, so it is nothing to be recommended to anybody who needs the camera's 2.5pic/sec rate. Especially RAW shooters should avoid using xD

unless for the same reason as I have, which is ...well, why not give it a try and fill up the wasted space?

Thanks.

The answer is no. I have just seen it on Oly Sweden page. The only dSLR that supports it is the E-330 in LiveView mode.
