OM-D E-M5 Firmware Update Requests

recasper · #1 May 25th, 2012, 01:57 PM

I thought I would put up a single thread for Olympus reps, with fingers crossed and grandiose delusions of our power in place, lol.

This can be catch all thread for software changes to make the Olympus OM-D E-M5 a "more" perfect camera.

I'll start it off with a handful:

I Want:
1. Focus Peaking
2. MySet Locking from fn-buttons
3. MySets acting as selectable Custom Modes
4. Easier Priority Mode Minimums (shutter/aperture)
5. Auto-Shot Bracketing with Timed Shot Mode (Example: 3 shots taken upon countdown)
6. Complete function button mapping. Remove the mapping limitations.

If you have software concerns that could be remedied with an update, drop them in below. Or thank the heck out of a post that has addressed concerns you currently have.

Olympus... Hear our pleas for Perfection!

If this thread has already been done and simply fell to the back pages, I sincerely apologize. Feel free to swiftly slap me down and I will find my way back to my corner.

#1 = make it work properly first like it's supposed to = IBIS in Video-Mode for Adapted/Legacy/Non-Native lenses

When shooting with legacy lenses magnification feature very useful, but sometimes I find minimal magnification at x5 is still to much for some scenarios. It would be very useful to go down on magnification to like x2 or so.

What's wrong with the 20mm?

It exhibits severe banding in high-ISO, low light conditions. Also, it occasionally locks up the camera when it goes into sleep mode, necessitating battery removal for recovery.

1. Fix the 20mm f/1.7 issues
2. Focus Peaking
3. Ability to assign functions to the "up-arrow" button in direct function mode

Seems like there are a couple bugs of how the body reacts or lacks to react concerning electronic-lens-connectivity (20mm bugs, and IBIS not turning on in video-mode with non-native/adapted lenses).
