Olympus releases firmware updates for its Micro Four Thirds cameras, speeds up focusing

by 912 comments

Just as promised, Olympus released the v1.1 firmware for their Micro Four Thirds PEN cameras. It promises a significant speed improvement of the autofocus and the first tests show that does a very good job.

DPreview were kind enough to test the E-PL1 running this latest firmware against the E-P2 against the Panasonic G1, which previously had a great advantage in terms of focus speed. As it turns out the recently released Olympus PEN E-PL1 even manages to outperform the Panasonic G1 when both have the Panasonic 14-45mm kit lens attached.

All Micro Four Thirds camera owners may now head to the Olympus Digital Camera Update software application and update their cameras right away.
