In this episode #2 of Cup of Joe I'm hoping we can start a discussion about firmware update ideas. I give me top five and I hope you'll share your ideas as well.
Just to be upfront - I don't have any inside knowledge of what Olympus is planning and when/if we'll get any future firmware updates. But it's fun to think about it and if possible I will forward what we come up with to the team members that I know.
My list of firmware updates
1. I’d like a viewfinder and LCD warning when LVB is active. Something you can’t miss – even more obvious than the S-OVF icon
2. I’d like more integration of the camera and being able to control the FL700WR from the super control panel and/or custom buttons on the camera body (ie pause flash with a button hold for example)
3. I’d like when a flash is attached for the default flash settings to be loaded for viewfinder S-OVF/LVB along with WB (configurable)
4. I’d like there to be a menu item for no SD card shooting
5. I would really love the AF+TR to get much better at faces and eyes and to not bounce continuously when they’ve locked onto something stationary.
I also go over the key differences between the newly announced OMD EM5 MKIII and the venerable EM1 MKII in a quick recap.
EM1MKII (Pros)
1. Bigger battery
2. Dual Card Slots
3. Better ergonomics*
4. Faster sequential shooting 60v30fps (H/silent, ProCap)
5. Headphone jack
6. All metal construction
7. LCD 120FPs viewfinder vs 60FPS OLED (and different magnifications)*
8. Optional vertical grip (with battery and vertical release)
9. Log picture profile in addition to Flat
EM5 MKIII (Pros)
1. 120 FPS 1080p video
2. USB charging
3. Smaller size and weight
4. Bluetooth
5. Cost
Lastly, I share a tip about configuring your Olympus camera's autofocus relating to the color and visibility of your AF points when they're inactive.
