Did you know that you can jailbreak your Olympus software? Once you do that you will be able to use your Nintendo DS to capture timelapse shots with a built-in alarm and triggering the shutter by clapping your hands instead of pressing the button (Yeah I know it is exactly the feature we were all looking for).
You need to install the Open Camera Controller (which is Open Source).
Your camera will now have following features:
* Unlimited AEB
* Sound Trigger
* Motion Sensing
* Timelapse
* Sun-/Moonrise aware
A complete description of the software is available here: http://www.hdrlabs.com/occ/index.html
A youtube video (test on Canon DSLR) is available here: canonwatch.com

“You need to remove the original firmware (ATTENTION you loose your warranty) and install the Open Camera Controller (which is Open Source).”
…Of course you don’t do anything to the camera’s firmware…
Looks like modified DS firmware to control camera via remote shutter port.
The actual Olympus software isn’t changed at all.
Hi NoName and Solevoid. I read on electronista.com that you need to “jailbreak” the firmware. I will ask the guys on hdrlabs how it really works. After that I will update the post.
Thanks for posting this. Very cool!
