FUTURE FIRMWARE UPDATE PLAN FOR OM-1

February 21, 2024 | Since the announcement of the OM SYSTEM OM-1 Mark II interchangeable lens camera on January 30, there have been enquiries regarding the possibility of a firmware update to the OM SYSTEM OM-1 (released March 2022). As a result, we would like to advise of our plan for a future firmware update for OM-1:

 

Future Firmware Update Plan for OM-1 

Scheduled to be released in autumn (northern hemisphere) 2024, the following changes for the OM-1 via a firmware update are planned:   

  1. Autofocus: Improvement of some AF performance capabilities, such as S-AF and C-AF, in all-target mode to improve capture of main subjects.
  2. Operability: Improved usability through the option to assign the trash (delete) button as a menu access shortcut.  

Please note the following: 

  • It will not include new features introduced with the OM-1 Mark II, such as Live GND and AI Detection AF for humans. 
  • It will provide some AF performance improvements only, and therefore, the new AF performance of the OM-1 will not match the OM-1 Mark II. 

We will continue to provide products and services that enrich the photography experience.   

* Details are subject to change
