If you own an Olympus E-3 DSLR then you should go ahead and get the new firmware released by the company. Version 1.3 will get you the following upgrades:

This latest version incorporates the following upgrades:

• Improved sequential shooting speed when using C-AF
• Improved AF accuracy for large aperture lenses
• Added [FUNCTION] menu that switches the AF point using arrow pad in [Custom Menu 1] [BUTTON/DIAL]
• Enhanced the accuracy of the battery check when using the Power Battery Holder HLD-4

Here’s what the previous firmware versions covered:

- Version 1.2:

• Improved the consistency of the auto white balance.

- Version 1.1:

• 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.

Make sure you get all of them in case you didn’t do it already!
