Upgraded TG-1 firmware, no change to the clicking during the movies

They have a firmware upgrade for a TG-2?  Are you sure?  I wonder if it would work for a TG-1, too!  I would love to have an aperture-priority mode.

I just looked - well, no cigar.  There *is* an 1.1 firmware upgrade for a TG-1, but the only change is "Improved stability of operation when GPS is On".  No new features.

Thanks a lot for the info!

Upgraded the firmware in my TG-1.  Not without some frustrations - first, I had to rummage around for a while to find the proprietary USB cable (Urgh!), then, I found out that my trusty old Olympus Master can't connect to the TG-1 (and by the lack of updates, it looks to be abandoned).  So I had to download the Firmware Updater utility from Olympus.  After that, the update worked fine.  I was hoping for a silet fix to the clicking noise in the movies, but no such luck.
