    I can't find a firware update for this camera at the Olympus site. Did you use Olympus Master 2 to get the update?

    If the camera is still under warrenty I would try and return it. I am almost certain you can not undo an update. But if it was bad CS should help you. I will try and contact CS for you.

    I have a brand new FE-310, I bought it for holiday. After my holiday I save it within 2-3month & when I would like to used it again after 4-5times shoots that there's a warning about battery empty & directly shutdown the camera.

    Before I think this's caused by the battery problem that I starts to change the battery & testing by voltage meter & it's okay.

    I return to the official CS & he ask me for about USD70 to buy the new circuit board. He told me that there's a problem is caused by defective IC on the board.

    I just take the camera & don't repair it. USD70 already half of the price of the camera & not make any sense for me to repair it.

    Somebody know how to repair this camera/buy a spareparts for this camera by myself.?
