Hi again, Y'all-
Well, it is a clean break, at the moment. The E-510 came with the 14-42
kit lens, but not with an adaptor for OM Zuikos, so there is no way to
use them on the new body yet.
I got the kit from Cameta, is was a demo unit that looks new. Now I just
need to figure out how to use all these buttons on this thing. It came
on Friday, just in time for the mountain bike outing on Saturday that I
was photographing. It worked well. The shutter delay is a whole lot less
than the Kodak Z650 I had been using.
The red light indicating which focus point is being used is nice, but
I'm not sure how to predict which one it will use when it can pick on
its own.
I had a moment of panic when I found that my tried and true image
editor, Micrographx Photo Magic, could not reliably open the images that
needed editing and rotating. So I loaded Olympus Master software, and
found that it displayed all the images right side up. I ended up
rotating with the picture viewer that Vista uses.
Thanks, Steve Goss, Dallas Tx usa
