E-M1 2.0 firmware already “unofficially” available at Olympus.

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!

Hot to build a Dolly for your MFT camera with $10 and your son’s Lego :)

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:

Stepper Motor Driver ($1.19) [shoplink 48052 ebay]http://www.ebay.com/itm/161304707166?_trksid=p2059…[/shoplink] Arduino Nano V3.0 ($4.76) [shoplink 48053 ebay]http://www.ebay.com/itm/171337374773?_trksid=p2059…[/shoplink] JoyStick ($2.09) [shoplink 48054 ebay]http://www.ebay.com/itm/200955114766?_trksid=p2059…[/shoplink] Remote Switch for Olympus ($2.48) [shoplink 48055 ebay]http://www.ebay.com/itm/300839084245?_trksid=p2059…[/shoplink] 5V DC Relay ($1.00) [shoplink 48056 ebay]http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-5V-DC-Coil-Power-Rela…[/shoplink] Cable for Arduino ($1.48) [shoplink 48057 ebay]http://www.ebay.com/itm/40-root-For-a-row-of-Dupon…[/shoplink]

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.
