OM-D firmware update 1.2

[Hosermage]

I just updated.. found my cable in my briefcase after I already ordered an extra cable from Amazon... DOH!

It doesn't seem like a lot of risk since it looks like it's two step: 1) download firmware to computer, 2) apply update to camera.

Anyway, I did it because someone reported that the new firmware improves AF-tracking. I just did a brief test after the update and it does feel a little better, but I'll try it on my 4 year old son tomorrow

Unfortunately, Olympus's updater software isn't exactly bulletproof. Failures at step 2 are not uncommon (as are OS-related/USB-related glitches). Also, the instructions that say to turn off your camera appears before the update is finished, so if you don't read carefully (wait for OK to appear on the camera screen), it's easy to screw up.
