lWell, I received what is called a Champion sample of the camera. These are some of the first off of the production line. The camera’s highest native ISO setting should be 6400. However, mine and my Olympus rep’s are actually 5000 until it starts labelling 6400 as the extended range.
Check body/lens firmware, the latest version for E-PL6 is 1.3
1.3? Did a new one come out recently? I have 1.1 (for both lens and body) and when I last tried to update a few weeks ago they said the latest one was 1.2!
I posted something from an EM-1 review that also seems to indicate that it too only offers ISO 6400 and higher in "extended" mode. What I also want to know is why the author of the above wanted to set the highest ISO on the camera to 3200, since the highest ISO before "extended" appears is 5000. Is there something inherently bad about using 1/3 stop ISO's?
Looks like I have my answer to an earlier question, even the EM-1's ISO 6400 is "extended"

The E-M1 is just awesome camera. JPEG is best what is out there, even that the article claims otherwise. It is small, almost perfect controls what just "melts" to your hand so you don't even think camera anymore at all as you just shoot. ISO 3200 is awesome (and you can even use extended 6400 with JPEG if wanted) and available lenses are just best ones and you have wider range than what you can ever get to any FF camera.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
