OM-D EVF Problem

shizlefonizle · #1 July 21st, 2012, 07:16 PM

I was shooting with the OM-D today and when I tried to look through the EVF all I saw was white. Checked to see if I accidentally increased the brightness of the EVF which wasnt the case and also did a factory reset and still nothing

. Are EVF failures common with Olympus cameras or am I just out of luck?

I've seen a couple of reports of EVF failure. I wouldn't say it's common by any means, but you're certainly not alone.

Make sure you "RESET ALL".

Yeah I made sure to do the reset all. Looks like its going to the repair center. I did a some searching online and it seems like one persons OM-D did the same thing and started working again so Im hoping for that although its unlikely.
