Olympus unveiled the details of two fairly significant firmware updates, both of which will be available for download, come November. The flagship Olympus OM-D E-M1 will receive firmware version 4.0. while the not even one-year-old OM-D E-M5 II will receive firmware version 2.0.
E-M1 version 4.0 includes the addition of the following still features: Focus Stacking, Focus Bracketing, Advanced Focus Peaking, Silent Mode, Simulated OVF, 4K Time Lapse Movie , Live Composite using OI.Share, the ability to shoot at 5fps with Anti-shock, MF Clutch Disable and Menu Curser Position Memory.
The Focus Stacking Mode is brand new to Olympus cameras and will only be available in the E-M1, for now. It stacks 8 images, in-camera, into a single JPEG, with the user setting the difference in focus distance between each image on a scale from 1-10 (with 1 being the smallest change in focus between images). The camera saves all 8 individual images when using this mode, and users can even shoot Raw+JPEG in Focus Stacking Mode (the combined image will be a JPEG, though).
E-M1 Version 4.0 also includes the addition of the following movie features: Movie IS that combines 5-axis optical IS with digital IS, 24p (23.98p) and 25p frame rates, movie info display, time code settings, movie rec start with RM-UC1 release cable, and synchronized PCM audio rec with movie rec.
E-M5 Mark II Version 2.0 includes the addition of the following still features: Focus Bracketing, Simulated OVF, 4K Time Lapse Movie and Live Composite using OI.Share. New video features include: Synchronized PCM audio rec with movie rec, a Movie Noise Filter option, and the addition of Flat Picture Mode. As of now, only the E-M5 II will offer the Flat Picture Mode during video capture.
In addition to the two firmware updates, Olympus announced a new version of its app OI.Share, available now for Andorid and iPhone. Plus details of a forthcoming version of its tethered shooting software, Olympus Capture, also to be released in November. Details for those updates can be found in the release below.
