[OM] E-510 heat was RE: Back from Enduro India - OM 35-80/2.8 paid the priceandis stuck on F8

Hi Jim,

I googled for a cutaway view of the e510 but only came up with e3 and e400.

It looks like the main circuit board could be between the CCD and monitor. The 
image processor and probably to a lesser extent the LCD circuits probably 
generate the most heat which then rises up to the flash area.

A steady voltage on a capacitor would generate very little heat - 
charging/discharging is when the heat is generated.

I noticed one of my e-cameras getting fairly warm once but I didn't pay much 
attention and have forgotten where the heating was.

Jeff,

I have noticed that the top of the closed flash unit on my E-510 seems to 
get fairly warm, when the camera is in use but without use of the flash.  I 
wonder if there is a capacitor or something in that area that is always on?
