Agree with all that, John

For many years I have been updating all my Olympus gear using the camera updater that is part of OV3, and never have had a problem. But I always ensure the camera has a freshly charged Olympus battery (don't trust clones), that the connection is good, that the internet is working and that the (windows), computer is not busy doing things like updating itself. In addition all you need to ensure you select 'storage' on the camera  when the camera connects to the computer.

Just tonight prior to heading off on a long trip, I updated my E-M1, 12-40 f2.8 and after changing lenses, my 40-150 f2.8, all in the one session with no drama whatsoever.

Now I do realise, that folks can have problems beyond their control, and I sympathise with them, but it's very unlikely that the Olympus process is at fault, it has never failed me in the decade or more I have been using Olympus cameras.

Rgds, Rob

PS. As a side note I did notice the computer gave a message 'camera disconnected' after checking what updates were needed, and whilst it was downloading the relevant update. The screen on the E-M1 was blank during this time. Just ignore this and let the process continue, takes several minutes depending on the update and network connection speed.
