For E-1 owners:
PRESS RELEASE: Olympus delivers firmware update for E-System
Version 1.2 Improves Shutter Release Button and Adds Display of Focus
Points to E-1 LCD
Melville, New York, June 24, 2004 – Olympus formally announces the
second firmware update for the E-1 digital SLR. With version 1.2, it is
now possible to shoot photos by fully pressing the shutter button
repeatedly with a “pumping” action, while keeping the shutter release
button half-pressed down. This improvement allows you to continually
shoot photos in C-AF (Continuous Auto Focus) mode, continuing C-AF with
the shutter button halfway depressed. Additionally this update also
adds a display of focus points for 3-point AF in the finder's LCD.
This update also includes improvements made in version 1.1 such as
higher sharpness settings, improved exposure in macro mode with flash
and quicker startup time from sleep mode. E-System users can update
their camera bodies, lenses and flash units through the Olympus Viewer
software included with the E-1 cameras or the Olympus Studio software.
The whole process takes less than five minutes.
Olympus E-1 Firmware Version 1.2 updates:
1. It is now possible to shoot photos by fully pressing the
shutter
button repeatedly, while keeping the shutter button halfway depressed.
This improvement allows you to continually shoot photos in C-AF mode,
continuing C-AF with the shutter button halfway depressed.
2. It is now possible to display the focus points for 3-point AF

cancel several frames selected for erasure at the same time. This is
effective when ERASE SETTING is set to NO. After you select frames to
erase, the SEL. IMAGE screen will appear if you press the arrow pad to
go to the next screen or rotate the main dial to change the number of
frames in the index. If you select RESET and press the OK button, all
frames selected for erasure will be canceled at the same time. You
cannot go to the next screen or change the number of frames in the
index unless you erase the pictures or cancel your selection.
