Thanks for the link, can you photograph the birds diving or just perched.

Thanks for replying, was looking at max 1.5/2 hrs so Scotland a little to far considering having to meet up early to get to the hide, think l my be falling asleep inside the hide. Also beside the hide what do people think is around the best time in summer, early or late? Thanks again.

My wife has very kindly said she would pay for me to attend a kingfisher Hide as a Birthday present, looking for anyone on here to give me advice on this matter, ie if they have used one of these specialised hides, location, how successful was the trip, l live in Warrington in the north of...

First camera failed after 3years just outside warranty period, second OMD a mkii failed after a couple of months the rear lcd was faulty, sent back to Olympus who replace together with a new power board, quick turn around of just over a week from sending out and getting the camera back...

Looking to purchase a OMD 1 mkii in the next few weeks after doing lots of research, l have had problems with both my OMD 10 mk1 and OMD 10 mk2. Does the OMD 1 mkii have any known faults, just thought I would check before l bought. Read on the net about a common fault with a rear dial but this...

Thanks sphexx, yes l realise how it reacts, but the screen just went off and then randomly the came back on and off even with camera at arms length. I am returning back to Olympus today my only worry was on the second email said they then sent it to Portugal for repair. I have asked another...

Just had another play with camera , went into the menu and then custom menu, to j which is built in EVF, then under this setting l turned off the EVF AUTO switch which will switch from monitor display to EVF automatically when an eye is detected. With it switched off the screen worked and...

Just got a reply from customer service at Olympus regarding problem, they seem to think it may be a loose connection to the screen and are asking for me to sent it away for repair, as l only bought it recently it’s under warranty, but will have another look at settings tonight when l get home...

Hi just to clarify, the live view rear screen dose not come on when l turn the camera on, l can still use by looking through the eye piece. When l then pull out the screen it the switches on and if l press the small button at the side of the eye piece it will toggle between live view and the...

Thanks for replying, yes I have pressed that button but nothing happens? When the screen is in place, don’t want to have to send the camera back for such a small fault if l can find a work around, maybe will have to try a master reset or something.

For some reason l can’t get my lcd screen to operate correctly. It dose not seem to be switching on when in its normal position folded in, but will work when pulled out? Am l missing something here? Driving me mad, only had the camera a few weeks. Help.

Thanks for all the advice so far. Makes me think the 100-400 May be the best option, l have not used Panasonic lenses on my Olympus, some people on the web say you can have problems with soft pictures, l believe most things can be sorted by using different settings with the image stabilisation...

Need to purchase lens for wildlife photography for my Olympus OMD 10 mk2 wondering if anyone has experience using these lenses. Cost wise the Panasonic is much cheaper with extra focal distance, l presume the trade off is quality of picture, loss of sharpness at the long end. Any advice greatly...

Yes the battery was fully charged, also had a spare which l tried both had same results.do you mean contact Olympus for a repair cost?

My problem is l can’t seem to power up the camera, l switch it on sometimes it try’s to start with the lcd screen coming on then goes off after a second, other times nothing happens at all, l have had camera from new, l bought it in June 2015, been looked after and never dropped etc, anyone...
