Oh wow. I complained too fast, before doing all necessary tests (which hadn’t made a difference with my old camera, but with this one it did):
- removing the SD card let me switch the camera on and off as usual, it also reacted on keystrokes and showed a display as usual plus it reset the lens when switching off
- doing the same with the SD card in again, and still everything worked
- I took some photos, back in business as if nothing had happened.
Strange. But I’m glad that the camera still works, don’t really need a newer and/or better one…
Edit, from the same evening:
I just took another photo first of my ColorChecker (for the room light white balance), then of Tuna. Here are two versions of the same photo I took of her:
As always, thanks for reading.
Hello Wolfgang,
I also had it once on my E-PL5. The shutter was closed and did not move.
I read that by changing the mode dial setting, rebooting and pulling the battery while on would help. I did not believe this but did it. It worked and I am again very happy with the E-PL5 :-).
Stay healthy 🙂
