I tried to find out if there is any reset or F/W up grade from the USA Olympus Service Center.

Dragonladies.org 1,628 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I still have an OM-1 I bought in the late 70's, and a few Zuiko lenses, and c3000 I bought ten years ago. I like Olympus Cameras, not sure I'll ever go the DSLR route, though. Link to post Share on other sites
JamesMusslewhite 14,317 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) I have an Olympus X-560WP which has been an excellent utility camera, small lightweight , and takes a good quality photo or video. I need to replace the flash bulb. Do you know of a shop in Cebu were I can get a replacement bulb replaced/installed? for the price $250 it is an excellent pocket camera and the 3m waterproof case allows for nice underwater shots and the case has really stood up well to the saltwater. It also has been convenient as one does not have to worry using the unit in the rain. Edited September 11, 2013 by JamesMusslewhite Link to post Share on other sites
