Bug warning: Do not install firmware 4.2 on your E-M1

As reported by many readers (including Pen And tell and Denjw) the 4.2 firmware update for the E-M1 contains a major bug on. It locks down and creates corrupted images when using those functions:
– Focus Stacking
– Keystone
– HDR
– Starlight mode

So please do not install the firmware. Or if you already installed it don’t use those functions until Olympus will release a bug fix (hopefully soon).

I also heard that E-M1 II and 12-100mm got the “best camera of 2016” from “Nippon Camera” magazine, but there is no official web info. (very conservative magazine, less internet literacy)
