I can get the button to work, but have no clue on how to use the "LOCK" function. What is the 'lock' for & how can it be used?

Beneath (below) the round button used to take photos, there is a rigid, ribbed sliding piece that when slid to the UP position, the remote is 'locked' and when moved down, it is unlocked. I'm not sure the purpose of locking it, other than I do lock it when packing my camera equipment, just so it won't get damaged. That's my thinking anyway. Don't really know the purpose of the lock.

The lock button is used when you have your camera in manual mode, using the "bulb" function. That means when the camera is set to this function and the button is locked, the shutter while stay open for as long as the button is locked, or the abilities of the camera are reached. This is usually done when taking longer exposures in low light, or astrophotography. If you have ever seen a picture of a stream where everything is clear except the water seems to be blurred in motion, this is how that is done.

I haven't had this for some time as I switched to Nikon, but the lock should enable you to keep the shutter open for extended periods such as the old manual ones which had a screw lock you could use when you set the camera on bulb and shot star trails. Haven't done this since I was a boy. This one being electronic might work differently. Sorry I can't be more specific. I imagine you could Google it and find whatever information you need.

This is well explained in the original Olympus pack.The lock/unlock issue is used when you need to take photos for example on tripod, means when you need the camara to be placed steady and focused. The lock issue gives you the possibility to have the lens open for the desired time as you like, for example when it's very dark outside, sunset etc..; give it 10 sec. on lock then. Of course you also press the round release button in both above mentioned occasions.

Clicking the button will fast forward. Holding it down for about a second or two will skip. This can be re-programmed and any button can be used this way (two functions).

well you press and hold the button for a few seconds and the keyboard will lock. Then follow the onscreen instructions to unlock. Actually I used it for the first time today, so that I could answer your question. Remember to hold it for a few second 3-5 should suffice.

There is a feature for pressing 1 x or 2 x for locking....But not NO times....That is all I got!

I could not get it to program, because the unlock button did work on the one I was replacing and you need that to program it. My husband ended up taking parts from the new one to make my old one work. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I could not get the return/enter key to act as a send button. I tried holding down the function keys while depressing the enter key but it did not work either. Sorry I could of been more help.

Good idea. I had been holding head while sliding lock button. Tried your suggestion. Still doesn't work. Fully convinced now it doesn't work right. Thanks much.

This is the item that control the automate lock function. So if you use the remote key button, or you press the lock/unlock function within the car, this device is what moved the lock up/down. This item should not effect the key's function, unless it is physically jamming and preventing the lock from moving.

I do not quite understand "Do I have to reset it every time?"Here is how it works: Once you hit the button, it stays on for 1 hour. Then it goes off. Next time when you use it, you hit the button again. So, there is no action required by you except that you hit the button. No action of "reset" by you is needed or allowed.

You can only set time for autolock, there's no lock button. Go to settings -> security settings -> auto keypad lock.

Just closing it should lock it, but you may want to check the "security level" settings. There is high, low, and off. If it's "off" there won't be any security. The security level can by set by clicking the button with a lock under it.

While pushing the lock button, you will also be pushing the head into a slanted position. If there is any resistance to this slant, the lock will not engage. Just be sure the head is allowed to slant at an angle while pushing the lock button into the "locked" position.
