See what I mean about how complicated these robocams are. You have to read the reference manual, and be able to understand what they are saying between the lines, just to use simple features. However I can not complain too much, his BIN would have been lots higher if he knew the remote actually worked.
The Oly C series are particularly bad with regard to their use of a menu system and their documentation is not terribly readable. The C8080WZ was quite challenging. Once I understood it all, it worked sensibly, but there were too many ergonomic glitches in the design. And the speed was awful. That's why I sold it and bought the Konica Minolta A2 instead. Much easier to figure out without a manual, ergonomically pretty nicely done.
The Pentax *ist DS, however, is easier still and a more capable camera to boot.
