Default E-3 firmware updates
Looks like some useful fixes...

E-3 Firmware Update


E-3 Firmware Ver1.2 has incorporated the following upgrade.


Improved the consistency of the auto white balance.

E-3 Firmware Ver1.1 has incorporated the following upgrade.
-
Enabled use of the Image Stabilization function with non-Four Thirds System interchangeable lenses by inputting a specific focal length.
For details on operations, please click on the URL.
-
Matched the rotation of the dial on the rear of the Power Battery Holder HLD-4 and the movement direction of the AF target.
-
Increased the number of storable still pictures by improving the battery check when the Power Battery Holder HLD-4 is attached.
-
Focusing now stops immediately when the AF start button (AEL/AFL or Fn button) is released.
-
Corrected the phenomenon where the flash control caused an under exposure while using bounce flash at short distances with the FL-50R or FL-36R Electronic Flash.
-
Improved selection and prioritization of the central 5 ranging points when shooting in C-AF mode and Dynamic-single Target mode.

Improved consistency of the Auto WB? From what? I thought it was pretty spot on most of the time now...

Oh well, I'll update regardless.....

Actually, I'm special. I'm sitting at an E-4. I used to have an E-1, then jumped to an E-511, then E-514, now down to E-4....

An E-4? Scoop! Keep it to yourself or we'll be innundated...

Anyway, back to the WB 'fixes'. I've not seen anything that untoward with E-3 WB either. Seems fairly consistent in auto mode. Certainly a lot better than my E-400 (cv this post: E-400 white balance), though the E-1 still reigns supreme as far as auto WB goes in my opinion.

I find mine is pretty unreliable indoors, especially when I'm home with a mix of different compact fluorescent bulbs. I'll do the update eventually, giving me my semi-annual reason to have Studio installed on my laptop, but I'm not in a hurry.
