Olympus SW1030
Hi all
Have bought this camera in the belief that it will be pretty much bomb proof.
I have one problem I could do with some help on which is this -
In the top menu section there are 7 sub menus, I can only access 4 of them. I'm unable to access "camera menu", "panorama" and "SCN".
If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong I would love their advice. All I can think of is that I'm using a fuji XD card not an Olympus one.
Thanks in advance, sorry I've not been on for ages. When I have had a chance to give the camera a good work out I will let you know what I think of it, so far it has only been in the fish tank
lol

Don't know anything about the Olympus but is it possible that some of the menus only available if you have chosen a particular mode to shot in, like macro or AV?
Can you give us the names of the menus that are missing?

Hi, it's not a menu associated with a shooting mode.
The missing menus are just as I said in my first post, sub-menus of panorama, SCN & camera menu.
thanks

Sorry can't help then not knowing the camera, there must be people with Olympus experiance on here so may be someone will be along to help. I thought perhaps that the items listed may be only available under certain shooting choices but if that is not so may be there is a problem with the camera. Can you ask advice of the place you purchased it from?

Have just spoken to customer help, not sure it was that much help but he tells me that the camera is faulty.

I only got the camera on Tuesday.
I turns out that customer help was no help in fact!!
There isn't anything wrong with the camera it just needed its selection dial in a different position.
The one function of panorama isn't available if you don't have an Olympus XD card !!
