My C-5060 is less than a month old. I use it primarily underwater in the
PT-020 enclosure, and today I had the following symptoms:
a) the camera seemed to "freeze" up with little or no lettering on the
monitor display, and jerky movement on the displayed scene
b) went in MF mode and I could not get back to any other focusing mode
c) when I change shooting mode from A to S to M etc. the lense sometimes
moves to the extreme telephoto position by itself. I have to manually move
it back to extreme wide angle, my usual setup
d) I use the FL-20 flash in the pfl-01 housing, usually in TTL mode, and it
will not flash when I zoom the lense towards telephoto. in fact, in some
instances the camera will not shoot at all.
e) flash would not fire, camera would not shoot, with both orange and red
lamps coming on in the viewfinder.
f) sometimes, when these symptoms occur in A mode, I can get it to work in S
or P modes. However, A will not work
These symptoms usually go away when I turn off the camera for a while, and
start all over.
This is the not first time these sorts of things have happened. These
symptoms are intermittent, but will happen after a dive or two on the same
day.
I have not noticed these symptoms with normal land photography, but, then I
don't take that many pictures out of the water, and the FL-20 flash is not
attached on land, etc. etc.
I would very much appreciate some feedback as to whether the camera might be
defective and should be sent back to Olympus, or whether I am doing
something wrong.
Thank you for any comments.
