  • USB Cable??

    Now I can't remember if I saw one of these in the box when it was delivered, and I seem to remember that my old E600 had one, but for the life of me I cannot find this cable.....would like to upload the update for the camera, any suggestions?? That's the trouble as you get older...your brain goes like mushy peas !!

    Peter,
    You could order a replacement cable = CB-USB6 from Luton Cameras - but like most Oly spare parts it isn't cheap!

      Just get a cheapie from Fleabay. Just make sure it has the Olympus connection and not the conventional micro-usb.

        Hi.
        The OM-D EM-1 doesn't use a standard mini USB cable. You should have got one with your camera. I have posted pictures of the cable I received with my M1 and a Mini-USB connection to show the difference.
        I hope this helps.





        The cable you want is a CB-USB 6. Here is a link but I'm not vouching for the quality or its performance.

          Call me a coward, but since that cable is used for firmware updates, and a goofed firmware update could brick the camera, I'd stick with genuine Oly parts for this particular cable.

            I agree!
