Lea, I have never experienced this problem, been using the e-10 for 2-3 yrs. Originally I tried the rechargeables and found that the charge cycle time (the time between a drain on the battery and when it's ready with full charge) was too slow and they didn't last long at all. After going through 3 sets of rechargables I spent more and went with: 30W Li-Po Battery Set (B-32LPSU) Lithium Polymer battery set provides extended battery life and vertical grip with vertical shutter release. Includes B-12 Battery, B-20 Charger and Li-Po Battery Holder Grip. This will provide approximately 1000 shots on a full charge. This is a perfect combination for me, the vertical grip is handy and I have taken 400+ flash shots without recharging the battery, great for trips or shooting outside events using a fill-in flash. I'm also using a 1gb CF memory card which gives me ~384 shots at the highest jpg resolution. Do you have the same problem using the AC adapter?

I have fresh batteries, the rechargable Olympus Camedia ones and can't seem to get it it to stop flickering. Everything else is working fine. Any ideas what's going on? Any suggestions on how to make it stop? Lea Murphy Whiny Dog Press www.whinydogpress.com New images www.whinydogpress.com/new.html Picture a Week PAW http://www.whinydogpress.com/paw.html
