Metz announced the new Mecablitz M400 flash which is compatible with all Olympus/Panasonic cameras.
The full specs can be found at Metz-mecatech.de. And this is the press text:
The mecablitz M400 represents a new generation of compact flash systems. It is especially suited to mirrorless system cameras and is ideal for any photographers or film-makers looking for a convenient flash unit. The mecablitz M400 is also highly equipped and leaves nothing to be desired. The maximum guide number of 40 forISO 100 is capable of handling almost all shooting situations. Versatile lighting options are provided by the motor zoom function (24-105 mm), the fully pivotable reflector with removable reflector card and the integrated wide-angle diffuser (12 mm). The M400 is also ideal for wireless operation, be it TTL or servo. As for usability, the M400 also sets new standards with its innovative OLED display and its impressively tidy, simplified user interface.
The AUTO TTL operating mode enables the camera to fully automatically control the flash unit (turning on and flashing) and ensures the subject of your picture is put in the best light possible – perfect to those new to flash. The mecablitz can be synchronised with the first or second shutter curtain (irrespective of camera model) and it supports high-speed sync (HSS or FP). The new design of the mecablitz M400 not only looks timeless – the flash unit is always kept up-to-date via a USB interface for receiving firmware updates.

Nokishita confirmed what we told you time ago. The new E-M1II and GH5 will be only “pre-announced” on Monday. Our sources told us the cameras will ship in early 2017 only. This means the full announcement with preorder start is expected to happen only by end 2016.
And this is the list of products that will be announced on Monday and immediately available for preorder:
Panasonic will have the announcement on MOnday (Sept. 19) at 12:30 Berlin time and Olympus at 18:00 Berlin time.
