Olympus PEN E-P3

I must have inadvertently changed a setting on my E-P3 and cannot figure out how to reset it back to the way it was:The shutter release is set to touch screen, i.e. when I touch the screen, the picture should be taken. Instead, now when I touch the screen to take a picture, a vertical magnification scale appears on the right side of the screen and otherwise nothing happens. The only way I can take the picture is by depressing the shutter release button on the top. Does someone know what I...

Hi all, I'm hopin for some advice from you!So I've gotten the prime lens bug. Here's what I've got already: Camera: Olympus Pen E-P3Oly 45mm f/1.8Oly 40-150mm f/4Oly kit zoom 14-42mm I feel like I'm pretty satisfied on the upper range but lately I've felt seriously limited on the lower range. This is partly because I hardly ever use the kit zoom unless I have to. I use my iPhone over the kit zoom. It's not that I don't shoot at that range, I just don't like the lens.So I'm looking for 1-2...

I am not able to get my E-P3 USB connection to work. I connected the PC card, turned on the camera and I don't get any indication of a connection on either the computer or the camera. I've tried different custom settings (auto and pc) and nothing works. I tried on different computers and got the same indication. Then I tried the A/V cord. The manual says the the LCD screen should go blank when connected, but that does not happen. I cannot cause any display to come up on my TV. Does anyone...

Good morning - I'm a camera/photography enthusiast looking to upgrade from my Canon G9, and I've been looking at micro four-thirds cameras for some time now.  By and large, I'm so far a point-and-shoot enthusiast, though I think I'm pretty good and would like to own a camera with which I can learn more.  Also, I will be traveling to the Galapagos Islands in April, and would like to bring a camera that is portable but takes really beautiful photos, mostly stills (not into photographing...

So to start, I've never owned olympus stuff, I've been a full time pro for 8 years now, working with Canon 1D and 5D series stuff most of the time, so I usually know my way around cameras, but this won't be for me. I have a much younger brother, whom is finishing university next month, and when he's done he'll be doing a big cross canada road-trip for two months. I've lived and worked all over the world, so knowing this is his first REAL chance to wander out on his own I'm getting him a good...

Hi guys,Not sure if this is the place to post this - but I'm very interested in seeking some opinions before I do something drastic (e.g. sell my current Olympus m4/3 set up!)In a nutshell, I like taking:General/walkaround photos of everyday lifeLow-light photos from indoor environments (house, restaurant)General 'home-videos'Photos with nice bokehTo give some background, I came from the Canon 60D with a Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 lens which I loved! It was great for my walkaround use - the only...

Hi, I was wondering what would be a good set-up to take extreme close up pictures for a job that is more in the realm of consumer electronics. Basically we need to take photos of very small issue areas, i.e. tiny scratches ~1mm2 or capacitors on circuit boards, cracks in metal etc. Since the objects will be stationary focal length and distance can be short. I have an olympus E-P3 with the Zuiko 35mm 4/3 macro lens (has the 4/3 to micro 4/3 converter) which is working very well, but we need...

I've decided to get a new camera and I'm having some trouble deciding. I could use some help.I'm an artist, I take a lot of photos of landscapes for reference material. I need a camera that fits in my bag (not my pocket). It has to turn on and take a picture very quickly. It also needs to work reasonably well in low light, like dusk, dawn and for full moon shots. I want good color.Last year I bought a Sony NEX-3 w/ a 16mm lens. I then bought the Sigma 30mm and it's painfully slow to turn on...

This camera has been working very well all along since one day, the monitor showed "Card Full" while it wasn't and continued  showing this for all card I tried, which I think it's very abnormal so before bringing to the shop I'd ask from all experts here in case any solution could be given.Please kindly share.Thanks so much !!!
