    controls problem -factory reset?

    My c-740 is experiencing a problem with the "direction up" button on the back arrow pad . In every menu function using the up button shuts the camera down. Is there a factory reset function that might get it working again?
    PS looks like a great forum I am downloading the Olympus manual hoping for help but at 56K this is slow & if like the written manual probably very limited in info

    As I expected download was useless -- same LIMITED info as the written manual. Camera has gone to-day to factory service in canada Nortown Photo Service . we'll report what they find.

    Factory reset

    Davee you need to get a copy of CD that comes with your camera. It has the factory settings you are lookin for. If you go to Olympus site im sure they would be glad to help. (NOTE) The paperback manual does (NOT) include factory settings.

    They had to wait for a part from Olympus & now expect to ship Monday Oct 3 -- essentially two months.
    I hope the problem is not repeated --less than 1 year from purchase

    After the repair it has been good for three month so far. Problem was menu button "up" did incorrect things mostly shutting the camera down. Anyone esle have anything like this? Is it a regular Olympus problem?
