And here we have the next 40-150mm image posted directly by Olympus Australia on Instagram. The lens will be announced on Monday September 15!

Thanks Ben for sharing the image!

You cannot update your E-M1 using the official Olympus Update Tool yet. But the 2.0 firmware itself has been already uploaded at Olympus Imaging (BIN file here). But to install it on your camera you must follow this “Unoffical” and “at your own risk how-to” steps described at Lightsnowdev:

1. Download the firmware here
2. Download my application “Firmware Control” here
3. Edit the “host” file inside the software
4. Start the server and select the firmware you just downloaded
5. Use the official Olympus Update Tool just like normal. More information here.

I repeat this is at your own risk. Wait til the official release on September 15 to get a “save” firmware update!

If someone is that crazy to test this please let us know about the exact improvements! Thanks!

Well, everything today is going to use more and more LED lights (like your Car for example). And a brand new published Olympus patent discloses a camera using LED light as flash for both, integrated and external use. I guess we will see such a LED light in an Olympus camera pretty soon…

Our reader Russ searched for the new GM5 and found it right there on the Panasonic site (Click here). It’s a sort of selfie camera to take pictures of our best part…I guess :)

Joke aside, Panasonic is really a global leader in the electronic toilet market!

Instructables explaines you how to build a Lego Dolly spending $10 only. And as you can see from the image on top he used it for his E-Pm1. All you need to build it is that stuff:

This is the how-to text from Instructables:

I cut the Remote Switch and I soldered Jack 3.5 connectors for use with the Arduino and the remote switch.
The relay I soldered wires to be connected to Arduino. Everything we connect to each other: arduino -> Relay -> jack -> jack connector for Olympus -> and my camera.
Next, I added Stepper Motor Driver to Arduino. To him I joined a stepper motor, and, 5V adapter or battery pack.
Another thing I want to connect the joystick. He will control the speed of the wheels, and frame rate. The rate will be adjusted by tilting the X-axis and Y-axis and after pressing the button, the value will be deducted.
I uploaded code via Arduino program. The program includes both shoot camera and rotating the stepper motor.

Kai-Duc: “Just wanted to share with you my latest wedding video created in Chicago with Panasonic GH4 / GH3 / GH2 & G6 cameras, so your audience can see how a real event can be covered in a cinematic fashion using all these cameras at once. There are a few aerial shots using a GoPro Hero3 + DJI Phantom quadcopter & a couple 5D mark III shots if you can spot them – everything else is pure m43 with manfrotto tripod, slider, and steadicam merlin. Lenses used are Pana 12-35 X F2.8 / 20 F1.7, SLR Magic 25 0.95, Canon FD 50 F1.4 & 55 F1.2 with RJ Lens turbo, Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50 2.8, Helios 44-2 58mm F2, Olympus 9 – 18.

Karsten: “Even if I own both GH4 and E-M1 I often prefer the Olympus in taking pictures. GH4 is a great movie cam, but I love the colours of the E-M1 pictures. And the following link may help to reduce some prejudices against mFT: There isn´t any chance to play with DOF? And mFT will fail in lowlight situations? Of course not!
