Skip,
I saw problems on a no. of occasions, either panning when shooting
racing, or sometimes even taking shots in the pits,
portraits...sometimes I would try to take one photo after another,
click, click, and end up waiting for the red light to quit flashing.
Mike, the other photographer who actually got the E-1 from the Oly
rep grumbled about it, too.
But I think I know what the issue is...I think the card needs to be
formatted "in-camera"....I was wiping the card clean on the computer
and putting it in the camera with no images on it, but I think an E-1
specific re-format might yield better results.
Cheers,
Stephen.
