In keeping with its promise made last month, Panasonic has announced firmware updates for the first three of its Micro Four Thirds (MFT) cameras, including the G1, GH1 and GF1 models. With thess firmware updates, all three cameras are given a new menu option for image stabilisation when the new Lumix G Vario 14-42mm lens is attached, and all three models benefit from improved auto-focus performance with other manufacturers’ MFT lenses. Additionally, the G1 and the GH1 gain improved flash exposure accuracy, whilst the GH1 also benefits from improved auto-focus performance in movie mode with the Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm f/2.8 ASPH. / MEGA O.I.S. lens. Plus, firmware version 1.3 for the GH1 enables auto-focusing in Full HD mode with regular Four Thirds lenses that are compatible with contrast-detect AF.
