I've preordered my OMD body (black) today, plus registered for the free grip. Ordered on Amazon, delivery estimate was 1-3 months :(

I know this is nearly 10 years old.. but I've just recently got this OMD from a member off here.. and love it! It's sooo good! Think the battery is goosed as only lasts about half an hour, unless I'm doing something wrong.. but daymn it's a nice little thing!

X.pro batteries work as well as the Olympus ones , I get several hundred shots per session with 30% life left
 
Thanks I’ll grab them! Guys I’ve been going a little crazy, I cannot get live view to work on the rear lcd. Screen always stays black - even though battery is charged etc. evf is fine.. I’ve pressed info millions of times and gone through the settings.. but no joy! Any wise geeks?

Looks like you've got the eye sensor disabled or the EVF permanently switched on?

Try pressing the button "3" from this diagram

I bought a printed user manual from a company something like PDF to print on eBay for my M10ii and it was very useful when I started using the camera.

If that doesn't work I'd use Olympus Workspace to back up your camera settings then go for a Factory reset.

My M10ii uses the eye sensor to switch automatically - can be annoying when your finger triggers the sensor and it switches to the EVF.
My guess is your previous owner had set the EVF to be on all the time as they didn't want to use the screen.

Also watch out for the flash not being available because you're using silent shutter (the heart symbol and if you have any PRO lenses, the shots being out of focus because you've accidentally slid the focus clutch into manual when you took it out of your bag ;)
 
Super set alby , what brand of ext tubes you using as the obviously work o.k .. sick of buying e.bay crap which doesn’t do the job
 
Nice trev

.... I learnt some time ago that when you want the significantly valuable advantage of having two camera bodies, it is important that the two bodies are identical. It is almost counter productive for them not to be, in my opinion.

While I get what are saying Robin I really want the flexibility of both cameras but I think it is time get another E-M1ii
 
They do that to get rid of mites apparently , seen sparrows doing it in my garden
 
Nice butterfly’s alby
