The new Olympus firmware is available to download now. If you own the E-M1 Mark II camera, you'll see some new features that have already been made available on the E-M5 Mark II. And, at the same time, those with the E-M5 Mark II are getting some features that have already been available on the E-M1 Mark II.

These features include things like the ability to save camera settings on a computer, better AF Targeting Pad for the rear LCD, and a new High Res Shot and Focus Staking mode made available to those who are using flashes made by a company other than Olympus. As we'd expect, the firmware update also brings some bug fixes — primarily for the M1. This includes a more stable battery level display and better color reproduction on the viewfinder.

As for the lens updates, the firmware changelog is as follows:

- M.ZUIKO Digital ED 12-100mm f/4.0 IS PRO Firmware Ver 1.1 and M.ZUIKO Digital ED 300mm f/4.0 IS PRO Firmware Ver 1.2 improves silent sequential shooting performance when image stabilization is active
