I am having problems with my E-1, and am hoping some of you gurus know how to
bring it back to its former behavior.
The problem is that I can not access the memory card as an external drive when
I plug the body in using the USB cable. I can se the camera in "My computer",
but when I click on the link it just gives me "Please insert a disk into
drive". If I take the card out and plug it into an external card reader it
just works fine.
I have tried this on another computer, and with another card, so it seems to be
the E-1 which is to blame.
I think this started when I was going to check the firmware version. I was
following the instructions and using Olympus Viewer as supposed. Or at least I
was trying to, the instructions aren't exactly very clear. So this is what I
did:
I plugged the camera in, and while connected I went into the E-1 menu and
switched from "storage" to "PC". I think this may have screwed the camera up,
I have a bad feeling that I should have done this before plugging the camera
in, but the instructions say nothing about this. Then I tried to access the
camera through the Help menu, as you are supposed to do, but only got a message
saying that there was no camera to be found. So the camera is in fact totally
inaccessible from the computer.
Is there anyone who has experienced this? Is there a magic way to "restore"
the camera (other than restoring factory settings)? I have not tried to
restore the factory settings (I will loose all my customized settings), and I
don't think reformatting the card will help as this happens with all cards I
try it with.
