    Re: You learn something new everyday

    Wait.. I have read and re-read the manual in an attempt to find out how to have the camera in continuous when in manual mode instead of having to switch to sport mode. Where is this information found... or could you walk me through it John? When I try to set it to continuous in Full Manual the selection is greyed out and the camera simply will not allow me to choose it unless I am in sport mode or in Auto mode. Kind of silly to offer it in Auto and not in Manual mode.

    ****EDIT****

    I just did a full search of the manual and of Olympus America's website looking for information on this and it is simply not there. I sent an email to Olympus Support asking them if they are aware of this issue and if there is going to be a firmware update in teh future or if this is simply the way they've made their camera. I know full well that this feature is available on the E1 and teh E300 so why was it excluded for the 500?

    I will update when I get a response.
