It's not the "copy it on to a formatted SD card" routine?weird, I can't seems to find a usb cable that fits!
It is not a standard micro USB! Make sure you use the Oly-supplied cable or you will ruin the connector in the camera! :angry::banghead:weird, I can't seems to find a usb cable that fits!
No, it has to be done via cable connected to a computer. Make sure the computer is a stable internet connection and is otherwise in stable operating condition. If there is a crash, you will likely brick the camera. :scry:It's not the "copy it on to a formatted SD card" routine?

I'll pass......>Make sure you use the Oly-supplied cable or you will ruin the connector in the camera!
That is not fun. One of the few severe Mac crashes I ever had were from Olympus firmware update (many years ago). Probably much better now but still not up to normal standards.
It appears it corrects the issue some are having with lockups from sleep with the 20/1.7 and some say other Panny lenses. I'm going to try out an EM5 tomorrow and though I don't use my 20 too often in deference to my 25 LOL--I'll still going to see how my 20 works on the EM5 if I buy it. So---I may find the need to upgrade.I'll pass......

It would be less annoying if Olympus didn't use a proprietary not-quite-USB connector. I have to store the cord in its special "Olympus" place. :angry:.I also dislike to connect the camera to the computer for the FW update, but with Olympus there are no other choices.
I have anyhow always diligently updated all my Olympus cameras and lenses E3, Ep2,Ep3,E5 and now OM-D, mostly on Mac's, and I never had a single problem.
Exactly my point Carl........why risk a brick.I didn't have any problems with this update, but what happens when your cable company takes you offline for maintenance in the middle of an upgrade? I've had several dropouts recently because of this type of activity, so it makes me nervous doing this with a usb/active connection upgrade. Why not a simple firmware download to install via SD card?
