Re: [OM] E-M1 and E-M5 II firmware updates coming

[Chuck Norcutt]

I didn't understand what some of these features are but found this which 
explains it all. 
<http://www.olympus-global.com/en/news/2015b/nr150915omde.jsp> I was 
also surprised to see that, in most but not all cases, these additional 
E-M1 functions are already available on the E-M10 Mk II.  Simulated OVF 
strikes me as a real oddity. I've been trying to think why I might want 
to use it.  Maybe it's really a marketing tool to show what the EVF is 
actually doing to the image. :-)
