I know this is nearly 10 years old.. but I've just recently got this OMD from a member off here.. and love it! It's sooo good! Think the battery is goosed as only lasts about half an hour, unless I'm doing something wrong.. but daymn it's a nice little thing!I've preordered my OMD body (black) today, plus registered for the free grip. Ordered on Amazon, delivery estimate was 1-3 months

Thanks I’ll grab them! Guys I’ve been going a little crazy, I cannot get live view to work on the rear lcd. Screen always stays black - even though battery is charged etc. evf is fine.. I’ve pressed info millions of times and gone through the settings.. but no joy! Any wise geeks?

Looks like you've got the eye sensor disabled or the EVF permanently switched on?
Try pressing the button "3" from this diagram
I bought a printed user manual from a company something like PDF to print on eBay for my M10ii and it was very useful when I started using the camera.
If that doesn't work I'd use Olympus Workspace to back up your camera settings then go for a Factory reset.

My M10ii uses the eye sensor to switch automatically - can be annoying when your finger triggers the sensor and it switches to the EVF.
My guess is your previous owner had set the EVF to be on all the time as they didn't want to use the screen.
Also watch out for the flash not being available because you're using silent shutter (the heart symbol and if you have any PRO lenses, the shots being out of focus because you've accidentally slid the focus clutch into manual when you took it out of your bag

not been out for a few days due to the heat , so had a play with my barely used XIAOYI 42.5mm f1.8 lens in the garden ,its a A/F lens with built in macro switch function which works very well and is very sharp for a lens at the low end of the market price wise . heres a few of the flowers in our garden
