    Bad Rechargeable AA Batteries or Charger

    I described what happened, ermine. I checked everything. I did get batteries with the charger, and I also bought extra batteries. The reverse polarity light can indicate other things (eg wrong sort of battery). The batteries are the right sort. I suspect that the charged batteries may be...

    Bad Rechargeable AA Batteries or Charger

    The charger is supposed to charge NiMh AA batteries in the range 1700-2500 mAh. The ones in question are 2000mAh and of the same make as the charger. If I charge batteries the camera will reject them. If I insert already charged batteries back in the charger, the charger will reject them as...

    Bad Rechargeable AA Batteries or Charger

    Has anyone experienced any problems with Rechargeable AA Batteries for cameras? I bought an Energiser 1 hour "rapid" charger, and I think it might over-charge the batteries or damage them. Charged Batteries put in the charger indicate Reversed Polarity (indicator light blinks). Also the camera...

    Olympus E520/510, Sharpness & O Master 2

    Re the settings: There is definitely something odd about OM2. The Noise filter level setting only works if you change to "Off" each time before changing the setting or it doesn't work. And I'm not fully convinced the sharpness changes every time yet.

    Olympus E520/510, Sharpness & O Master 2

    A Reboot of the computer and the software seems to work now. I can only think the effects were a lot more subtle than I was expecting. The eyes are the first to go! ;)

    Olympus E520/510, Sharpness & O Master 2

    It seems to me that some functions of Olympus Master 2 RAW editor stage simply do not function on my photos taken on E520. (Note I am not referring to the jpeg editor) In particular varying the sharpness attribute from "as shot" to any setting between -2 to+2 has no effect whatsoever on my...

    Olympus E-520 firmware update

    Silly me, I didn't see the "how to update" section linked on that page. I understand now.

    Olympus E-520 firmware update

    As far as I can make out, this announces what will be done in the firmware update, but the actual update hasn't been released anywhere yet.

    Olympus Evolt E520 shutter speed

    1/4000 is plenty fast enough. I don't suppose you will use even half this. Very fast shutter speeds are used for specialist high-speed photography which is probably not something most of us do as it requires a careful set up and co-ordinated flash. If you are taking bird photos with a long...

    olympus 520 prices

    Macro = Close-up photography, eg Ladybird (Ladybug) on a leaf, or into a flower head. Usually taken with a short focal length lens. Sometimes people buy a special Macro lens if they want to do it a lot. Here are the olympus lenses http://www.olympus.co.uk/consumer/dslr_13091.htm
