Thanks Barry, I'd totally forgot about this and it does indeed ring a bell. Funny enough, just before reading your e-mail, I had one from Olympus customer support telling me that no, there was no kind of battery status. But I do seem to remember what you say as being correct.

There may be a way of interrogating it, but I haven't come across it.

Can anyone tell me if these models have audio feedback in relation to battery strength?. I have had a look at the Olympus website, but couldn't turn up what I was looking for. Does Anyone know?
