… while for the rest of the world, 4.3. is actually the fourth of march.
Yeah correct, just a very small portion of the world puts the month before the day. 😉
And since it’s a japanese initiative one would think it would be the fourth of march!
I disagree!
4/3 means the third of April for Chineses, Japaneses, Koreans and many Asians. China alone has a quarter of global population.
Only because they were Americanised after WWII (& later wars). That is, an American’s idea of English.

So no way 4/3 denomination like in the US.
China doesn’t have 1/4 world population
You beat me to it! I was going to say, “Dang!, it should have been on the 4th March then!”
And some use ISO standard date system… 2015-04-03.
That’s OK. At least it makes sense!
2015-091
No wait, just for fun: 2015-04-01T08:41:51+00:002015-04-01T08:41:51Z
Another idiotic response. Totally in character.
no fun allowed
So right! LOL!
In NL this means 3/4s day. Since most 4/3 cams are not sold in Anglosaxon countries this does not seem to be very well thought out…Luckily, the system itself does not share this trait.
Means you have to crop if you take a picture from Europe.
Friggin’ Americans with their backwards dates.
Friggin’ rest of the world with their non-backwards dates – CONFORM! CONFORM!
At least the users of medium format film have a safe bet on the sixth of june.
I like that one! 😀
This year in Christian community is Ester week
Easter is a heathen tradition, has nothing to do with Christianity. And its not the whole year…
Here at 43rumors, EVERY day is 43 day :-)) Thanks to our fave admin
Golly, I love blowing bubbles.
Does this mean that Olympus is adding a new bubble art filter?
Jeeze, can’t wait.
Nah, that’s a Pan girl. Can’t you see?
Golly
No contest? No prizes? Not even a cheap lens? This is not celebration, this is a joke.
is it 4/3 or m43…
Cause if its 4/3 its something like dinosaur day. No?
yes m4/3, morning of April 3.
That’s a cynically low budget publicity campaign. Hey, you guys do all the work, we manufacturers will just sit back and reward you with nothing special. Have a nice day.
Pictures of potatoes only please. 4/3 is the fourth of March.
The ISO standard (number 8601) is YYYY-MM-DD. Mainly because this seems practical when assorting and classifying data. But people are not computers and in many different cultures people use different standards. (Not to mention the way the Chinese, the Islam world, the Jews and many others divide time into years). Have a look at this Wikipedia page.

Being a European YYYY-MM-DD feels odd to me. But I could live with it if the Angel Saxons would adopt the metric system in return and get rid of their gallons, stones, acres and the old King Edward’s feet. They even don’t understand themselves anymore. Look at the way they standardize the sizes of sensors! What is one inch in a one inch sensor? A shambles.
I wish Napoleon had conquered Great Britain.
