Weird bug: Olympus “OM-D Webcam Beta” software that was launched early July 2020 does not work anymore in 2021

43rumors readers noticed that the Olympus “OM-D Webcam Beta” software that was launched early July 2020 does not work anymore in 2021.

I have used this software so that my webcam is actually my qualitative E-M1X (or E-M1 ii) with good optics and zooming facility. The workaround is to change the date of the computer manually to the end of 2020, BUT this causes rejects by the ZOOM teleconferencing software (the meeting date is too far from the clock date), also from the web browser (Firefox) that blocks (fear of virus), and finally Lightroom that I was supposed to demonstrate remotely tells me that more than 24 hours time-difference with the actual world clock is not acceptable.

BCNranking claims that the Olympus E-M10III double lens kit was the most sold camera in 2020 in Japan

E-M10III at GetOlympus, BHphoto, Adorama and Amazon.

According to the newly published BCNranking data those were the most sold cameras in Japan during 2020:

  1. OLYMPUS OM-D E-M10 Mark III EZ Double Zoom Kit Silver
  2. EOS Kiss M Double Zoom Kit White
  3. OLYMPUS PEN E-PL9 EZ Double Zoom Kit White
  4. s6400 Double Zoom Lens Kit Black
  5. EOS Kiss M Double Zoom Kit Black
  6. OLYMPUS OM-D E-M10 Mark III EZ Double Zoom Kit Black
  7. a6400 Double Zoom Lens Kit Silver
  8. LUMIX GF9 Double Lens Kit Orange
  9. Z 50 Double Zoom Kit
  10. a6100 Double Zoom Lens Kit black

One more time this shows that at least in Japan Olympus did do well. Let’s hope this is enough for JIP to keep pushing the MFT system.
