Re: EM-1 Shutter sticking closed

About a year ago I had to have Olympus replace the shutter when I had this problem. It seemed more severe in coldmwhether.

Mine was out of warranty, so I would act now while you're covered.

Mine behaves the same. I have to change the shutter lag from normal to short, which seems to rectify the issue.

My camera is still under warranty, so sending it for repair is not a problem, but I would rather not waste time unnecessarily.

I'd get it repaired under warranty. My E-M1 shutter failed and was collected from me and replaced by Olympus (Portugal) in exactly 2 weeks

Out on on job tonight ... it was warm
Shutter jammed shut and there is no response or information from the camera
Is there a reset procedure or is it dead?

Possibly stating the obvious, but have you tried taking the battery out and putting it back in? It might clear it - doesn't mean there isn't problem of course, but it might get you back on the road.

Oh dear, sounds like it needs to go to the doctor. Good luck.

Re: EM-1 Shutter sticking closed

It happened to my E-M1 just before the end of its Warranty. Olympus (Portugal) returned it looking (and working) like new, so I traded it in for an E-M1 Mk.ii.

Re: EM-1 Shutter sticking closed

well... it went to Portugal and it is not comming back

No... I have a brand new body!

Olympus did not have the parts

Re: EM-1 Shutter sticking closed

Glad you are sorted, but it's a bit worrying if they don't have parts so soon. I would have thought they will run out of new bodies far sooner if they keep just replacing them!

Re: EM-1 Shutter sticking closed

When was the mk 1 last manufactured?
Under European rules they should have a way of repairing /replacing for 7 years ... but costs could rise
