All you get is…

Come on Apple please sort it out and make Olympus PEN users happy!

To update you use the “Olympus Master 2″ program, connect the cable from computer to camera.. click storage on the camera.. select camera… update and away you go…

If all goes well your camera should have the largest “OK” message on the LCD screen I seen in years…

Here is what they say has changed:

E-P1 Firmware Ver1.2 has incorporated the following upgrade.

[Modification]

  • Reduced time of the MF ASSIST enlarged display to improve operability.
  • REC VIEW enabled when the monitor’s backlight is set to off.

I personally did not purchase one but someone near and dear to me did buy one for me to use as my travel camera rather than carrying my Nikon D300 + Lenses everywhere.
