it turned bad very quickly we were in st Asaph which is at sea level . it was initially sleet at low levels then turned to really heavy snow and just kept getting stronger . once passed Holywell on the A55 it was rain . not seen it come down like that for a long timeI was supposed to be heading up to Abergele from Aberystwyth this morning...

Thanks Jeff.stunning set , I know the conditions and the place so extremely well done
I think most of the UK stock of thermals are currently reposing on my bodyThat definitely captures the cold of the day Stephen. Now where’s my thermals!
I'm not bothered if it's quite in focus or not as it really captures the moment.
Isn’t there a switch on the rear that can be customised as on/off. Might be worth checking. I’d be inclined to return the lot and start again. I expect someone’s bought EM5 and feeling pretty chuffed with his M1 mk3.EM1 Mk III won't switch on !! I seem to remember this being asked before and a solution being suggested,
My s/h EM1 MkIII just arrived from MPB, but rather cleverly it came in an EM5 MkIII box (with EM5 accessories, manual, charger etc) so I can't charger the EM1 battery.
Thus, I don't know whether the camera not switching on is because the battery is flat or a fault, or some weird setting.
Is there some setting that might be stopping it switching on?
I would first suspect the battery. I bought my E-M1iii from MPB, and when it arrived it too wouldn’t switch on. Fortunately I had a fully-charged 3rd party battery which worked. The supplied battery was flat as a fart and needed a full charge. I think MPB have such a large stock of these cameras that many of them have been sitting in their warehouse for long enough to discharge the battery.EM1 Mk III won't switch on !!

Thanks, I seem to remember that the lever that can be set to 1 or 2 had something to do with it.Isn’t there a switch on the rear that can be customised as on/off. Might be worth checking.

That is my suspicion, but its irritating, I'm hoping they will get something sorted out today and maybe pay for Saturday delivery.

I had the same issue with mpb regarding delivery the other week with a Panasonic 25mm lens. I paid for next day delivery and it arrived a day late.That is my suspicion, but its irritating, I'm hoping they will get something sorted out today and maybe pay for Saturday delivery. They said they would sort something out urgently.
But, so far they haven't got back to me, and my next day delivery of the camera took two days, so not sure how much hope for a delivery tomorrow.
They have already refunded the money, but I think it was DPD rather than MPB that was the problem. I got various messages from them about delays delivering in my areas, then later the same day that it would be delivered, then it was delivery was running a bit late, then that it had arrived at the delivery depot, then it would be a day late, then it would be delivered, then it was running late, and then it was delivered.I had the same issue with mpb regarding delivery the other week with a Panasonic 25mm lens.

They did refund the full postage though and I wasn’t in too much of a rush.
To reply to myself.EM1 Mk III won't switch on !!
Probably. You won’t do any damage by trying. A red light should show on the camera. Expect it to take absolutely ages, though.To reply to myself.
Would I be able to charge the battery "in camera" with the USB A to USB C charging lead for my Logitech keyboard.
I also, of course, don't have the EM1 manual, but I presume I will find instructions by googling.
I'm hoping it will still be quicker than waiting for MPB to sorting out getting the correct charger etc to me.Probably. You won’t do any damage by trying. A red light should show on the camera. Expect it to take absolutely ages, though.
