first time they replaced the rear dial, and it worked fine for a few months. second time they replaced the top unit, and it worked fine again for a few months. third time, i politely requested for a replacement. i'm unlucky maybe? other friends who got their EM1 around the same time i did haven't run into this issue at all.
OMG! Look at the EM-1 aka the now official E-M1 Thread

hi guys,
For video capturing using em1, does anyone use a external mic? Will it be better to plug in a external mic for situation like rom gate crash etc. My intention is to capture this special moment purely for memories for our group. It's purely for self fun. I have experience with still images but never with video during such event.
Usually during video I will pre focus and switch to ring focus when I am on 12-40mm.
Is 12-40 a suitable video lens? Its awesome for me during still photography thou.
Should I get a prime like 17 or 25mm for video instead? One thing I am sure, I will need a couple of extra batteries for sure.
Appreciate if you guys can share your thoughts and advice.
Thanks!

Hi Keith,
I have the same problem too with the manual focusing.. So did you send it in for Oly Singapore to take a look?

In the end I just sent it in for a quick check and everything with the camera was 100% fine , I somehow realized it only happened with one of the lenses so I simply let it go.
Using the 17/1.8, 12-40 and 42.5 now almost everyday , I have no encountered this prob again.
Hi all, I recently discovered that there is one or 2 dead pixels on my pictures when i zoom in on them in LR. It appears as a pink colour pixel. So every time i need to use spot removal tool to remove them. Does anyone know if this is covered under the warranty?
Just for fun
Had the luxury of testing the Rokinon 800/8 mirror lens on the EM1 due to the generosity of a great bro.
Monster lens, Monster performance. I was left deeply impressed when I was able to shoot 1600/8 handheld with EM1's 5 axis IBIS.

^__^; how can forget this lens when it has such a presence haha.
Taken at 85mm equivalent (using the 42.5/1.2)
Taken at 1600/8 (using the 800/8)
haha, hope u can find where i was zooming into.
sharpness is good, not top end but definitely acceptable. Moreover this lens is going for around USD169 now.
I could even manage to grab some XMM shots from around 100 m plus away.

Thanks for the 42.5 comments. Best lens I've used so far on MFT platform.
1000mm can use to shoot XMM's teeth Liao ^___^

Well, I have 3 142L dry cabinets so even digging out the lens is a bit of a treasure hunt! This lens is also not the largest in the cabinet... standing besides the Hasselblad 500mm it's like a midget!
Anyway, the pics look sharp enough for fun photography... enjoy!
Yup , can see the small mark but it looks more like a scratch on the front lens element to me (shadow's my hint) , if it's under warranty send it in since no matter what it does affect u right ?

Nah, it's not a scratch on the front lens. The lens have filter on it all the time. At 1st I thought it's the filter. but after I remove the filter I realize it's inside the lens. I just wonder is Olympus going to charge me if it's inside the lens.. Since it's impossible this could be user fault if it's inside the lens..
