Olympus releases OM-D E-M5 firmware version 2.0

Wondering if anyone who's updated lost the Key Line art filter? I am not able to find this art filter in any of the menus, yet the camera shoots a key line photo when in Art Bracket mode.

I'm a new user also. My EM5 is currently at firmware 1.5. Do I have to install the other updates before I install 2.0 or are they rolled into this one?
Thanks!

Found the Autofocus solution further down the forum list, ***k me, well done to the person who discovered that cleverly hidden Olympus sub menu!!. I've been tearing my hair out all day.

I still would like to do my lenses updates though but now the Updater program can't find my camera "Unable to detect the camera"....Oh well, I suppose you can't have everything but if anyone has a solution to that problem, feel free.

Thanks

I was hoping for a "DSLR" mode, where I basically am using the viewfinder to compose and shoot, but I can then have the image come up on the screen for about 1~3 seconds like a DSLR. I went on vacation and had to make the battery STREEEETCH and so under the recommendation of some sites; used only the viewfinder. I was almost at 1100 shots on a single battery. But what I missed was the quick view of whether I got the shot or not. There is a kluge where after you take it the image is on the screen, but it doesn't go away after a few seconds, so if you forget, then it eats your entire battery on the display. Come on Olympus, you make good hardware only to choke on the easy part aka the software.

Still waiting on my update, it's been 20 minutes; and the circle is still spinning... How about using something other than a 286 as a server?

Nice, but where's the timelapse function?

I thought this update was bringing focus peaking - any confirmation?

I just installed this firmware update (2.0) on my EM-5. It took 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete! This is absurd. There is no warning it may take this long. Firmware updates on my other cameras use a file on the flash memory card and take seconds. or at the most a few minutes. This slow Olympus speed is not a limitation of my computer speed or internet speed. This is simply a very poor choice of update system on the part of Olympus. I'm guessing Olympus was simply getting too many users accessing their servers at once. I LOVE the camera, but I don't like spending an hour waiting to find out if Olympus has just convinced me to turn my camera into a brick because of a botched firmware update.

Updated. Update installed. Focus box size unchanged. What am I missing?
Also I noticed that the updater's dialog contains the phrase "Unable to install updates when more than one lens is attached...". WTF?
OK, needs SCP/info/ arrow keys.

Gettiing this update is fine, but I was still dreaming of some Video mode/bit rate additions.

When is Oli going to give us an HDR function for the EM5 ? It's about time isn't it? It's a real pain to manually program using bracketing.

Small focus points are good but it was possible very simply even before...
just try it, Menu B/Button Function/3rd row (video recording button)/Magnify...

Then pressing recording button you could get smaller focus point, if not so small press recording button again and set magnify to 14x. Next time you do not ned it change it will be remembered.

Wonderful!Smaller autofocus area is a great news!

I was wondering if there would be a firmware update at some point, was really hoping for an easy HDR setting (unless I'm missing it). Pleased with smaller autofocus though!

On the one hand, good on ya Olympus for doing this.

On the other hand, Grrr! I would have preferred an EM5 but just got the much more expensive EM1 simply for the smaller focus points (vital when photographing small birds in trees). I'm not made of money so, um, Grrr! Ah well, the EM1 is still a nice enough camera...

Does anyone know if this firmware update will work with third party batteries like Wasabi?

Yay! Was hoping for an update when I heard of the limited edition E-M5. Am thankful for the two much needed fixes. Updates that would perfect the E-M5 for me personally:
1. Ability to assign MySets to the mode dial (I miss my E-PL5 at times.)
2. Ability to use Auto ISO in Manual Video mode

Updated to 2.0 first thing this morning. However when I set the AF size to [.]s there appears to be no difference in size in the green AF lock indicator(or center focus indicator). What am I missing here?

Happy to have this update and very glad to see Olympus adding new features/improvements in firmware updates! I hope further updates will be forthcoming. I'd like to see some of the other improvements made to more recent models, like "HDR Bracketing" and assigning MySets to the mode dial.

Of course Olympus still needs to enable exposure compensation when using Auto-ISO in M mode in all their cameras…

Wonderful, the Olympus download program can not run on Microsoft Surface computers, well the RT version anyway. Absolutely great.

yay!!

Update in progress, please wait................wait..........wait. Then "no contact with the server..................

Oly Updater 1.03 reads the camera correct.

Any ideas?

Where is the list of changes on Oly's site?

I join others here to say it's great news for us to finally get this. I was hoping for it.
Thanks Olympus,

Focus peaking in 2.1 ?

I'll be interested to see, too, if the banding with the 20mm at high iso has been silently fixed.

Oh yeah! Finally!

The smaller AF mode is not much smaller than the AF target in magnify 14x mode target but it is square rather than rectangular.

How do you select smaller AF targets after v2 update ?

Not before time. One question: does the update cause the camera to revert to default settings? I dread the struggle to set everything back to my current setup. How I hate the menu structure of this camera - even more than a year later.

Nice nice nice
