We have received many inquiries about firmware updates for the OM-1 (released on March 18, 2022). We would like to inform you of our current plans for firmware updates for the OM-1 as follows:

Future “OM-1” firmware updates
We are planning to release a new firmware update for the “OM-1” in the fall of this year. We are planning to update the following items:

  • AF performance: Some improvements such as making it easier to capture key subjects in S-AF and C-AF all-target mode.
  • Optimization of AF performance
  • Operability: Menu operation with the trash button during shooting will be supported, and menu operation with the right hand will be made possible.
  • Improved operability

Curiosity: Yesterday OM-1 owners launched a petition here: firmwarepetition.org/petition/firmware-petition-om-1-mark-i-system-camera/. What a cool timing of OM Digital:)

OM ambassador teases “One Big announcement” on March 4th

Share

Emielie Talpin posted this video and writes:

Join us live on March 4th, at 5PM EST for a very special announcement. We will all be taking live questions too. Don’t miss it. Add it to your calendar now!

Now, two things seem odd to me:

  1. that OM Digital would announce a new product right AFTER the CP+ show
  2. that this teaser is coming from an OM Ambassador and not from OM Digitial.

So this maybe some kind of non-product related announcement? Something like a special action from OM Ambassador or so. I would not get hyped about this…
