CAREFULL- Don't put the battery in incorrectly
|
I've been waiting for this line of cameras to come out for a while so I was really excited to get it. I opened the box and put the battery in. I thought I'd done it the right way, but it turned out that I put it in upside down (I'd still managed to match up the negative and positive sides). After a lot of shaking (thanks shock protection) I couldn't get it out!
At this point I looked at the manual and it said something along the lines of "careful if battery is placed in camera incorrectly you will not be able to remove it and must have it serviced at an olympus service center." What the f**k!!?! I know I was dumb for putting it in wrong, but come on, Olympus can anticipate that most of us feel confident enough to put the battery in w/o the owners manual. And that most of us will assume if put in incorrectly it will come back out.
I call olympus. They tell me I can mail it to a service center in CA or NY (I live in Chicago) and that I'd get it back in a mere 7-10 business days. All this for a battery put in upside down? Instead of crying or throwing the camera against a wall (which I really wanted to do) I decided to try using some tweezers to get kinda pry it out. Whaddya know, worked right away, didn't damage anything. Thank god! I was close to tossing it in a fit of rage and vowing to never buy olympus again.
I consider this to be a huge design flaw. Despite the warning in the manual and an additional warning (later discovered) on a light pink half sheet of paper, I'm sure a lot of people will make the same mistake. If Olympus should put a big red sticker on the camera itself.
Hopefully the camera will work as promised in a view weeks when I'm on vacation.
