doesn't work properly.( The combination of E-1/ E-330 with Leica kit lens has no
problem) .

The old firmware of E-500 doesn’t meet the body / lens communication regulation
based on the Four Thirds standard.

How to solve the Problem:-

Solution method is updating the E-500 camera body firmware to over Ver 1.2.

Support:-

If you have this incompatibility, please update your firmware. You can get latest
firmware from Olympus website or from Olympus customer support.
