Are you using the Olympus Updater program? Try that instead of Viewer. I think you meant the former perhaps?

Thanks, I tried both but the results were the same

At least with the E-M1 my procedure is as follows,

- start Olympus updater on my computer

- connect the camera to the computer with a usb cable

- select Storage on camera (unless you have it already set to always select storage in camera menus)

- the program then recognizes that the camera's been plugged in and you press next (or something like that) on the Olympus Updater screen. Then follow the instructions. Don't touch or unplug the camera unless the update is fully done.

Thanks, I did it with OV3 and turned the program on, then connected the camera to the computer, the program recognized I had the camera connected and listed it as E-PL6 and even loaded the images (if I had a card inside the camera).

I did different variations of it, like plugging the camera before or after I ran the program, with or without the memory card, with either AUTO selected for USB or Mass Storage (if AUTO was selected I just chose Mass Storage when I plugged the camera in)- but no matter which variation I did, the result was the same- the camera was selected as detected and it told me I had a new firmware to install that is 41 mb and as soon as the pct reached 100% the camera was disconnected an I had that error message about a sharing violation in the temp bin file and as soon as I x out of it the camera is detected again and wash, rinse and repeat lol.
