E-1 Hard Reset / Stuck in P Mode
Hello, does anyone know the button press sequence for a hard reset, via the hidden menus in an E-1 please? (not just the one from the top plate with the reset buttons.)
The E-300, E-3, E-5 method doesn't seem to work On a recent discussion on here, I commented that I'd bought a spare one in case my original started playing up. Well I dug out my E-1 for a bit of nostalgia and a stroll round Buxton, but it seems to be stuck on P mode, even though the PASM dial seems to work OK It seems My memory is playing up as well as the camera; looks like I intended to buy a cheap spare, but never got round to it; either that or the workshop pixies have taken to hiding cameras as well as my tools. CEX sell them cheaply enough, @ £50 but none in stock of course. Googling hasn't turned up anything, other than other users with the same problem.

Re: E-1 Hard Reset / Stuck in P Mode
You say the dial seems to work, except it is stuck in P mode? My E30 used to occasionally show something different to the dial setting & so I'd rotate it several times to clean the contact surface to get it to respond correctly to the Mod Dial setting. Maybe you can try that?

Being weather sealed, it's also a bit awkward to add IPA or switch cleaner.

Re: E-1 Hard Reset / Stuck in P Mode
Thanks Mark, tried those before posting here; the external re-set button combination doesn't cure the problem.
Certainly from the E300 on, you can access a hidden service menu and re-set function, but I don't know if there is one on the E-1

Re: E-1 Hard Reset / Stuck in P Mode
Ho, hum.
Sounds like it might have reached the end of its useful life and a replacement may be in order (although taking out the battery and waiting 6 months for the internal one to lose charge would presumably be worth trying under those circs). ![]()

![]() I suppose it's always worth mentioning the standard response to any apparently-insoluble digital Olympus problem, which is to ring Luton Cameras & discuss it.
