The fairy tale forest.

the fairy tale forest | Minolta MC Rokkor – PG 1:1.4/50mm @1.4

This is from last weeks walk into a near forest. The mood was like looking into a fairy tale forest. What’s awaiting after following the soft red arrow?

As always, also available as a print.

What the Firmwareupdate does.

This week was a lot to do at work, so my writedown about the Firmwareupdate 1.1 had to wait. On Septembre, the 15th Olympus released this to improve Continous-AF with all AF-Lenses & to improve the Autofocus in general.

Installing with the Olympus Master2 Software is totally easy, but you have to be shure that power and also your internet connection are stabil. The Bodyupdate takes a bit a long time. I have asked me if the updateprocess’ hang up. But it’s all ok. It’s just over 20MB! The Lensupdates were much faster.

So, what does the Update? Is AF really improved? As i am not the one person who measures in Studio Comparisons i only can tell you about my real world tests. In my opinion it is improved, faster and more precise, but i had expected it a bit faster. I was curious about the Autofocus in Video and in my opinion the AF doesn’t pump as much as before.

Overall the Update is ok & essential for your E-P1 and the Lenses. Maybe we can expect a new AF improving in 1.2? Time will tell. How are your experiences?
