Problem with Olympus Electronic View Finder VF-2 for Olympus E-PL1 camera.

I received this item from KEH in Smyrna, Georgia. While the unit seems to be in pristine condition, I cannot produce decent photographs when using it. I get a lot of striations, horizontal lines and a lot of shaking and green in the item when viewing. Well, okay this is a specialty item and is used for days when there is harsh sunlight and it is next to impossible to view the LCD Monitor. I followed the instructions in the camera's Owner's Manual and still cannot get anything decent. I believe I will give it one more day and see if I cannot get it to do what I want. Any and all suggestions/hints will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Tony

Talk to the folk at KEH. They are very good with returns/exchanges.

Thanks Steve. I already sent them an advanced email so they will not read it until Monday. I want to give it another shot and see if perhaps I need to shoot in harsh sunlight and see if that may the issue. We have a few hot days coming up, so there will be plenty of opportunities to test it further.

Thanks, thazoo. Today I was out shooting with my Olympus Gear and the VF-2 is working just fine. It is crucial to use in bright, harsh sunlight. I will continue to shoot with it in harsh sunlight and hopefully it will be consistent.

Thanks for your assistance.

Tony
