PRESS RELEASE: Olympus E-410 & E-510 Firmware Upgrades
One of the advantages of the 100% digital design of the E-series DSLR cameras from Olympus is that components can be updated (lenses, flashes and bodies) via a software connection to the Internet long after they've been purchased. So, when better system performance is available via enhancements to firmware, users will be able to get more out of their Olympus E-System equipment.
Olympus has announced firmware upgrades for the E-410 and E-510. Both updates can be easily applied by the end user via the Olympus Master Software which ships with the camera body, and an Internet connection. Below is a description of the added functionality available for each camera once the upgrade has been applied;
E-410 Ver 1.2
- Improved reliability when writing to the new UDMA type (ultra direct memory access) high-speed Compact Flash cards.
E-410 Ver 1.1
- Improved preview of the white balance settings when in Live-View mode.
- Addressed the issue of file names being reset after images are deleted.
E-510 Ver 1.1
- Improved reliability when writing to the new UDMA type (ultra direct memory access) high-speed Compact Flash cards.
