Thanks for the location of the AF target, Chuck. Those menus are a bit
like the Theseus' Labyrinth. I didn't want to upgrade until some other
people found the mud puddles, if any.
Very Important Question: Does the camera retain our custom settings and
MySets when we upgrade the firmware? My settings are based on the
Dpreview initial settings, but with a few individual tweaks. If the
upgrade resets everything to defaults, I'm not sure if I could remember
everything I did.

As I've mentioned here before my own E-M5 will sync at 1/320 (the E-M1
spec) vs the 1/250 E-M5 spec. That brings it close the the 5D which does
ISO 50 and syncs at 1/200. My 5D now has only a 1/3 stop advantage over
the E-M5, close enough not to matter.
