Olympus Releases New E-P1 Firmware

Today, Olympus is pleased to announce a firmware update for the Olympus E-P1 that will allow the camera to operate more effectively with the following Panasonic lenses:
  • Panasonic Micro Four Thirds lens LUMIX G VARIO 14-140mm/F4.0-5.8.
    • This update increases the stability of performance between the body and lens.

  • Panasonic Micro Four Thirds lens LUMIX G VARIO 14-45mm/F3.5-5.6.
    • This update improves auto focus performance for still and motion picture recording, improves the stability of optical image stabilization during motion picture recording, and decreases audible noise during the operation of adjusting the aperture when in motion picture recording.

The ability to update the firmware in E-System components -- bodies, lenses, flash units -- is one of the key advantages of a 100% digital design. Firmware updates are available through Olympus Master and Olympus Studio software applications.
