I haven't uploaded a single damn thing in... *checks* over a year.

Hmm.

Slightly concerning.

Rest assured - I have been taking photos, travelling, and being a bad ass. Just my enthusiasm for this website has waned somewhat.

Australia
My name is Richard Eldred. I'm a phone technician by trade, but sometime back in 2007 I got smacked wrong way upside the head and developed some silly notion that getting into photography was a good idea.

Shit's been going progressively more and more downhill ever since.

If you see someone running around with an E620 and a pancake prime, either run like hell, or stop and pose.

I'm going to be a creep and join in, as I also own the e620. I heard from a very knowledgeable photographer, that any Olympus camera will have problems with hot pixels and long exposures, which is why he's a dual-system user (he uses Olympus as his main system). Apparently, Nikon has that problem with most of their cameras, as well. There are two ways of getting rid of noise for the e620, noise reduction, and noise filter. Noise filter sort of smears out the noise- leave it on low or off, it makes things shorter. Noise reduction works by taking a dark frame after the exposure, which removes some of the noise. You can't have it on if you're on multishot, however. It's pretty much the only thing that works with long exposures, although it's by no means perfect.

Aah, yes, I remember having that problem myself. Haha. God forbid they should make it convenient to access. Go to the menu, and scroll down to the function part (with the gears). You may not have these enabled, in which case you go to the setup menu (I think) and enable it. Go all the way down to menu G (ASPECT/COLOR/WB), and there should be options for both noise filter and noise reduction (if you have it on continuous shooting, you won't be able to use the noise reduction). The options for noise filter are off, low, standard, and high. I'd recommend leaving it on low, it makes things a whole lot sharper.

There is built in noise reduction, but it's quite frankly rather awful, all it manages to do successfully is blur out all of the details in your images.

The hot pixels issue is a bit of a long-running issue with four thirds cameras, I own an E410 that does the same thing, and my father owns an E300 which produces similar during long exposures. I copped a doozey of it a week ago doing minute long exposures. I can't provide any advice other than to manually edit them out, and keep your sensor speed at 100asa.
