Olympus Updates Zuiko Digital Lenses for G1 Compatibility

Today Olympus announces a firmware update for the following five Zuiko Digital Lenses:
  • Zuiko Digital 28-84mm equivalent (ED 14-42mm Four Thirds) f3.5-f5.6 lens;
  • Zuiko Digital 80-300mm equivalent (ED 40-150mm Four Thirds) f4.0-f5.6 lens;
  • Zuiko Digital 50mm equivalent (ED 25mm Four Thirds) f2.8 lens;
  • Zuiko Digital 70-200mm equivalent (ED 35-100mm Four Thirds) f2.0 lens;
  • Zuiko Digital 70mm equivalent Macro (35mm Four Thirds) f3.5 lens.
This firmware update will ensure the compatibility of these lenses when used with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 camera.

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.

The firmware can be updated through the Olympus Master software or by going to the Olympus Support website.
