Share

Image of the silver E-M1.

I got some “reasonable” info about the E-M1 firmware update (Thank You source). As suspected there is no 4K coming but more than 20 things got added or fixed. Among them we have:

– new art filters,
– faster EVF refresh rate,
– you don’t lose magnify mode when you focus, same with peaking,
– art filters and peaking get BIG evf refresh rate update.
– tethering.
– Live Composite

And there is a new New O.I. Share app coming as well. Thanks a lot source…also for your patience ;)

And two more info about the 40-150mm PRo lens: The lens hood for the 40-150…it slides back over the lens body! Slick! 1.4 TC will only work with the 40-150 2.8 and the 300mm f/4.

Thanks!

Announcement at 6am tomorrow (August 28) London time!

I don’t know if Olympus will announce the 40-150mm PRO and Siler E-M1 too. I guess the answer is yes. And than there is a new firmware update to come for the E-M1 too.
