Hi all,
Sorry for the delay with my response. Yeah, Olympus never replied back so I
decided to fix it by myself. I bought Loctite gel glue, I decided to use
this one just in case I had to reposition the dial. Everything worked
flawlessly! I have to say that since the OM4Ti camera, all Olympus cameras
I had latter gave me problems. I love E-M5 but manufacturing quality sucks!
Thanks again for all your help.
David
