Blank screen on EPL1. Happened out of the blue It was working fine and then nothing... It takes pictures, (autofocus, flash works)

SOURCE: Can't take pictures

The focus element within your lens may not be moving normally. This can be due to contamination such as sand, impact, or failure of the motor itself. If the lens cannot resolve proper focus the auto focus system on the chip will not continue to take the picture. Another possible reason is that the button has simply failed.

i'm having this problem too. Started playing up last night, not auto focussing properly or taking photos in AF mode. Now it will only take photos if I'm focussing manually AND am in one of the preset modes... I can't use the M, A, S or P modes.

There is a problem with your camera's circuit board.
You need expert help and repair.

Check the switch on the side of the lens, it should be in "AF" not "M". The switch turns the motor in the lens on and off. If the switch is set to "M" the automatic mode on the camera will not work.
