Olympus heeft voor zijn E-3 digitale spiegelreflexcamera's nieuwe firmware uitgebracht met 1.4 als het versienummer. Deze firmware kan zoals gewoonlijk via de meegeleverde Olympus Master- en Olympus Studio-programma's binnengehaald worden om vervolgens naar de camera door te sturen. De lijst met aanpassingen is beknopt en meldt slechts een verbetering van de autofocus-functie:
Version 1.4:Version 1.3:
- Improved the AF operation
Version 1.2:
- Added [FUNCTION] menu that switches the AF point using the arrow pad under [Custom Menu 1] [BUTTON/DIAL].
- Enhanced the accuracy of the battery check when using the Power Battery Holder HLD-4.
- Improved AF accuracy for large aperture lenses.
- Improved sequential shooting speed when using C-AF.
Version 1.1:
- Improved the consistency of the auto white balance.
- Enabled use of the Image Stabilization function with non-Four Thirds System interchangeable lenses by inputting a specific focal length.
- 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.
