February 21st 2024 | Since the announcement of the OM SYSTEM OM-1 Mark II interchangeable lens camera on January 30, there have been many inquiries 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 around this autumn (northern hemisphere), the following changes for the OM-1 via a firmware update are planned:
Autofocus: Improvement of some AF performance capabilities, such as S-AF and C-AF in all-target mode to improve capture of main subjects.
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.

Addressing the following issue:
Camera freezes when focusing under the following conditions.
The E-M1X’s firmware update takes longer to complete versus other OM-D camera models. Please note the following:
Be sure to have a fully charged battery in the camera. Without sufficient power, the firmware update may fail or will not start.
It can take up to 12 minutes to update the firmware on the E-M1X, including downloading and writing the firmware data to the camera.
Do not disconnect the USB cable during the update. Once the OK icon is displayed on the camera’s rear monitor, it is safe to disconnect. It will take approximately 5 minutes for the firmware file to download, and an additional 5 minutes until the OK icon is displayed (after the writing icon is displayed) on the rear monitor.

Bird detection AF
Bird detection AF has been added to Intelligent Subject Detection AF, which was developed using AI technology (deep learning technology). The camera automatically prioritizes detection and continues focusing on a bird’s eyes so the photographer can concentrate on framing. Even when the camera fails to detect the bird’s eyes, it detects the head or body for tracking.
