Best to install the Olympus Master software as it is used to update not just your camera's firmware but those of the E-System accessories like lenses, teleconverter, extension tube, flashes, etc as well.weekh said:Don't feel like installing the olympus software on my computer just to get the latest firmware update.
Can i walk in to olympus showroom and get them to update my firmware for the e-330?
tomcat said:5 hrs is quite long to charge even for a new battery as nowadays, the battery of a brand new camera is seldom completely empty straight out of the box. The led colour will turn green when the battery is fully charged. Is yours still red?
oooh.. then you really must check your firmware version liao. The latest firmware version for the body is 1.2weekh said:mine must be an old set cos the battery is totally flat out of the box.
weekh said:Any idea where can i get a better instuction manual?
Lots of the things in the menu isn't explained in the basic instruction manul..... ;(
By default, for the S-AF focussing mode, when shutter is pressed halfway, you get AEL & AFL (focussing and exposure are locked), and the AEL/AFL button is set for AEL (meaning that if you want to lock the exposure settings as that at a particular position in the frame, you press and hold the AEL/AFL button and then recompose.weekh said:ic...
just a quick one... how do i use the AFL/AEL?
I suppose they are the auto focus lock and auto exposure lock....
weekh said:The olympus live view isn't as good as the sony.
Sony R1 is able to show u the exactly how the final image looks like while u're composing the shots. Live histrogram are also shown. This is what 'live' really means.
On the other hand, the e-330 live-view seems to be a technology from yesteryears during the early days of digicam.
Nevertheless, i got myself a e-330 to play play. The instruction manul is very superfical and I need more details. I'm now charging the battery which will take 5 hours!!!!!!!! What The Fish, why is it taking soooooo bloody long to charge the battery?!
ykkok said:Well, yes, it's better to have the liveview reflecting the actual image but if it doesn't just take it as the optical viewfinder. We don't see the actual exposure nor the WB from the optical viewfinder anyway. So, just treat it as an extra large optical viewfinder that's tiltable for composition.
weekh said:I'm preferring the live-view over optical viewfinder and that's why I'm getting the e-330!
I will be using the lcd most of the time and only on certain occassion will I use the optical vf. Hope that one day the lcd can be so good that it completely replace the optical vf. I just don't like to cover my face and view the world with one eye.
