i just got my e-510 almost 3 weeks ago. had no problems at the start, but i've observed lately that there's a whirring sound whenever i turn it off. what could be the problem? i do hope it's something that can be easily fixed. thanks a lot in advance for your help!
-   PHEW ! .... THOUGHT MY CAMERA WAS BROKEN ... THIS ONLY HAPPENS WITH EITHER OF THE 2 IMAGE STABILISATION IS ON ... TURN OFF I.S. , AND THAT NOISE ,WHEN SWITCHING OFF IS GONE.

Probably no problem. If RESET LENS is set to ON in the Wrench 1 menu, the attached lens will have its focus reset to infinity at power-off.
If IS is enabled when you turn the camera off, the IS gyro will spin down. Both of these things make some noise, but don't indicate any problem with the camera.

I guess the solution to my E510 pop up flash creating a shadow when my 9-18mm lens is on, is to use the external flash. Too bad Olympus didn't think of this earlier. Any other thoughts?

Olympus e510 Appears to be similar to some below. Recently autofocus, and shutter do not clode in P, S or A modes, although the camera functions as normal in Auto or the pre-configured scene modes. Any ideas?
