Olympus Trailblazer Jamie MacDonald has the new v4.0 firmware on an E-M1 and is taking requests from users for things to test out. Kind of cool.

Any news regarding the Oly 300 and pana leica 100 400 from there ? Firm dates ? Prices ?
Note : Leica is on 137
Samsung will be there?
Yes they are there, even an interview (over at mirrosless rumors)
Saw it. Not a word about quitting.
If Olympus is taking a page from Samsung updating there older film ware why not update the E-5 and give those shooters something to smile about. Even if Olympus charged a small fee for those new features owners would still be happy. Can you imagine a update for your E-1 coming from Olympus. I doubt it but it would show that uncle Oly still cares for the older E pro systems. Customer service wins new customers.
Is there any chance to get the firmware settings exported to the memory card? This of course only makes sense if all can be imported later – and possibly transferred to another camera body. Would be a cool feature and would save lots of time getting all the settings back which were lost after a firmware update…
Another idea was to be able to change these settings on a PC and get them into the camera afterwards. A well designed software could be made easier to handle than the Olympus menu.
Olympus should redesign the rear dial wheel. I got mine repaired after one year and now after another year again it sometimes does not work. So I will have to let it replace once more. This is not very amusing even with a five years warranty…
Yes! Save settings! On the SD-card.
Yes! Enter them with Olympus Capture.
Good points
Excellent suggestions. I’ve also thought since a while that it would be logical to offer expanded options for camera control and especially configuration via the larger screens of smartphones / tablets / PCs.
Olympus menu is on of the best out there. Logical (mostly, few in H, J, K etc little odd) and super fast and easy to use. People just doesn’t seem to want learn what every technical term means.
I can reset the camera and then program 4 MySets and my own main M mode in less than 15 minutes.
I want a AF targeting pad like in E-M10II
I would love to see a sweep panorama mode like Sony do and almost all smartphones. It may require additional hardware in terms of accelerometers, but worth asking.
