Olympus E-P5 acting funny and now I lost my anti shock settings

I have a 3 1/2 year old Olympus E-P5. Yesterday it began to act funny. When I turned it on, it would not turn off and the controls did not work.

I called the dealer from where I purchased it and he suggested that I perform a reset.

I did so. It now seems to be working but I no longer have any anti-shock settings.

I thought that it may have reverted to the original firmware.

I tried updating the firmware with Olympus Digital Camera Updater but I received the message that the camera has the most up to date firmware, 1.7.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Maybe your Camera was set back to factory settings?

You have to turn on Antishock in two different places:

At first, you have change the settings in the menu. As I don‘t have my camera here at the moment, I can‘t tell you the exact position.

Afterwards, you have to switch it on in the control panel.

Thank you.

I found it and was able to get back the ant-shock settings!

I now want to double check that I should have it set at 0 seconds which I had been using all along.

Thanks again.

Yes. 0-second anti-shock is the way to go.
