But seriously, how cool would it be to have some sort of auto IS.. The camera knows the ISO, shutter speed and focal length, surely it should know when you don't need IS. (You see, I still harbour the suspicion that leaving IS switched on when you don't need it can make your pictures worse..)

I'm fairly certain that IS will not engage when it's obviously not required - it seem entirely logical.Originally posted by snaarman View Post

Re: Olympus release a firmware update for the OM-D E-M5
I would hope so, but I deleted loads of "jarred" images when I had the E620, images taken at (say) 1/250th that shouldn't have needed IS intervention. I have to admit I don't see this so much on the E-PL3 and the E-M5 so maybe IS is improving over the years.Originally posted by Ian View Post
BTW, I'm not dissin' it at all. IS can do fantastic things, and the E-M5 IS is just amazing. Thing is I switch it on for low light conditions and then forget to switch it off

PS. Couldn't see the download on the Oly UK site at the moment.Look, I'm an old man. I shouldn't be expected to put up with this.

Given all that humming, is the mechanism that does the work actually on all the time keeping the sensor suspended in the right place?Originally posted by snaarman View PostI would hope so, but I deleted loads of "jarred" images when I had the E620, images taken at (say) 1/250th that shouldn't have needed IS intervention.

This is some firmware update!
That raises "weather resistant" to a whole new level!

Re: Olympus release a firmware update for the OM-D E-M5
Good point, Ross. The "underwater support" obviously (?) applies when using the camera/lens in an underwater housing! Best make that clear, because Americans use this site too (Sorry Stewart, I couldn't resist!Originally posted by Ross the fiddler View PostNow, now! We're onto you.
