Tom: “We have a Christmas fundraising appeal which includes a special PhotoVoice camera package from Olympus, which offers the E-M1 MkII and the 45mm 1.8 lens, along with a 1:1 training session from Olympus, all for £1849.
All profit goes to support our charitable work, and there are plenty of other interesting rewards available. I’d love it if you could let your readers know about this.
You can find out more at www.crowdfunder.com/PhotoVoice.”

In case you missed this: The latest version of the Olympus Digial Camera updater let’s you also store your E-M1II camera settings. This allows you for example to transfer your settings on another Olympus camera (Example from one E-M1II to another E-M1II). Also when there are new major firmware updates the camera settings will be retained.

UPDATE: This feature only works for the new E-M1II. I have no info whether this will be implemented on other Olympus cameras via future updates.
