Tested ok when I was at the shop. Manage to shoot some shots with the provided litium batt on the way home somemore.

Go home charge up the GP battery and tried. Cannot power on!!!
Try alkaline also cannot.


Bring back to shop.... test with their batteries...also cannot. and they say must bring to service centre.



anyone else uses c-1 or olympus exhange policy?

Then ask for a 1-to-1 exchange @ Oly Sg...make a helluva noise if they don't...show them receipt that the DC is less than 1 week old..but it died a natural death...

I went down to Oly service centre yesterday.

The lady there say cannot exchange as they do not have stock of C-1. I make 'noise' that I need it urgently and I just bought it 2 days ago!!


So she promise to rectify it by lunchtime (I was there at 9.30am).


I went back at 11.30am. Camera serviced! They say it is a small problem (fuse blown).



Now will carry this camera with me everyday. I bought this to replace my Mju-II and save film money.

Well, I choose Oly C-1 over fujifilm A101as I have confident Oly will provide good customer service.

Good to hear that you've got your camera serviced. Olympus customer service is pretty good...
