Troubleshooting for E-3/E-510 firmware update
 
 

Phenomenon:

This phenomenon occurs if any language other than the default setting was added to the menu display by OLYMPUS Master 2 ( or OLYMPUS Studio 2 ) before E-3/E-510 firmware update. After updating to the latest firmware ( E-3: Ver 1.1 / E-510: Ver 1.3 ),
the camera may reboot by pressing the IS button for image stabilization. This can be resolved by downloading the desired language and add to the camera menu.

Caution:

This phenomenon does not occur if no optional language was added to the menu, or if OLYMPUS Master 2 / OLYMPUS Studio 2 is used with Macintosh operating system. This troubleshooting is not required.
This typical problem with Windows will be resolved by updating OLYMPUS Master 2/OLYMPUS Studio 2 in the future.

This phenomenon occurs only in OLYMPUS Master 2.04 ( OLYMPUS Studio 2.11) or earlier version for Windows. If you use the latest version, this troubleshooting is not required. Before updating the firmware in your camera, it is recommended to update the OLYMPUS Master 2 or OLYMPUS Studio 2 to the latest version.
