Olympus E-P5 dial malfunction and warranty questions

It will only get worse

I had two repairs for this problem: One to fix the original faulty dial, the second to repair the faulty repair after only two weeks use.

My experience is that the problem will only get worse; it will not stabilize or go away. The only solution is a proper fix or, in my case, a demand for a different body from Olympus. With your travels so close, the best advice right now might be:

  • Live with the frustration until you get back and pray that you don't progress to total failure
  • Immediately purchase another body while you arrange for repairs on the current one

I know, neither choice seems optimal, but I make these suggestions due to the short time frame you have to arrange for a repair/replacement.
