A:AnswerReconditioned product is defined as any product that has been returned to Olympus by any of its retail partners. Once returned, Olympus conducts a rigorous, five-point inspection of all functions and features to ensure that the item meets our quality standards. A reconditioned product will function identically to a brand-new Olympus product, although minor cosmetic blemishes may be present.
Olympus supports reconditioned products with a 90-day repair warranty and a 30-day money back guarantee, excluding the cost of shipping.
A:Answerits a good 120 dollar difference id say, mine came out to be about 253 ish with shipping and tax, so compared to the 349.99 for the new one not even taking into account the tax or shipping your saving yourself quite a bit, and the best part is no has to know its refurbished but you :p so if you think youd be a bit ashamed about it being used dont be! no one has to know! this camera is really great the way it is!
A:AnswerThis camera offers a SPOT focus mode that would allow you to decide where the camera is going to focus. If you are interested in more manual controls I highly suggest looking at the EPL-1 camera. This will offer more control over all camera functions including focus.
A:AnswerThe camera ships with a Li-Ion battery and AC adapter for charging. The battery life is roughly 200 shots in between charges. If this is not sufficient I suggest purchasing a spare battery.
A:AnswerThe camera will automatically chose a shutter speed from 1/2 sec to 1/2000th sec. The shutter speed chosen depends on the amount of available light needed for proper exposure. There is no mode to manually select the shutter speed you would like to use. A shutter priority mode would be available on a D-SLR type model.
