Except that I can't find tethering on the menus. I loaded it up yesterday and was pretty disappointed.

This is being picky but can't they get anyone to spell/grammar check their apps? I forget...

Where are you renting Olympus lenses from? This could be handy. Once in a while I need exotic glass but not enough to own it.

The quick answer is maybe. AVI is a generic term covering a lot of codecs and often specific to a camera or manufacturer. The general rule is if you can see it in Finder you can open it. Otherwise...

OLYMPUS Digital Camera Updater: Olympus finally released a separate program to update firmware (instead of using Master). I tested it with my E-510 and it seems to work fine. Who knows, maybe we'll...

Since this new "Viewer 2" is aimed at the E and PEN owners I'm hoping the software is aimed a bit higher than Master and less clunky than Studio. Tethering I use a few times a year when I have to do...

No mention of tethering. That bothers me.

Finally, Olympus is updating Master and Studio - sometime soon - for the Four Thirds and Micro Four Thirds users. The screen shots of Viewer 2 (there was a Viewer 1?) look interesting.

The things...

Select the brush tool, select from the pull dowm, set saturation to -100, density 100. This will remove any casting and bring them down to greyscale.

You can easily control any area to any degree...

A quick pic from a walk in the park with the E-P1 (with a tiny bit of Lightroom tweaking). The camera handles well surprisingly well in all sorts of lighting. This is somewhat backlit.

I just have the kit 14-42 (so far). I haven't decided on the 17mm lens yet. The idea of putting my old OM lenses on the camera is really attractive - if I can remember where they're stored and still...

I just noticed that we have a new(ish) heading: Including Micro Four Thirds cameras. Nice. The Olympus PEN's are different compared to the Panasonics.

Does anyone here have one of these besides...

Like I said, I'm a Mac user. I suspect the software functions the same on the surface (haven't tried it on Windows) but I suspect it's optimized for PC's. Compared to 64bit Lightroom, it feels...

I shoot RAW+JPEG sometimes to just have a second/reference image. I set the Olympus to shoot the JPEG in Vibrant mode. It's interesting to see how the two images are different sometimes. Sometimes I...

I used Studio exactly once for a tethered shoot. It's a clunky thing. It does have one possibly interesting aspect - if you shoot RAW+JPEG it manages to get the RAW close to the JPEG, far closer than...

I can relate. A walk through a park can generate a lot of images for me, especially if I shoot RAW+JPEG. I deliberately use small cards to set a mental boundary. Of course I carry extra cards and if...

I was surprised by how high the ISO could climb on the E-P1, much higher than my E-510. I've pulled some very usable web shots and prints out of ISO 1600 images. Bigger prints would look...

A few quick shots from my Sunday walk down by the waterfront. It was very cold there but the cameras worked fine...

Elements is a very under-appreciated app. I've tinkered with Picasa and I'm surprised at how good the little freebie is. But it's Lightroom that I use with the Olympus cameras.

I haven't seen the...

It's less than a year old so I would contact Olympus. It's probably under warranty.

You may be right. The interface is so 1990. I swear it looks the same as the Camedia Master software that came with my Olympus D360L (that would make it 20 years old).

I did try Master and Studio...

Rangefinder - if you have the viewfinder. I have the 14-42 so no viewfinder. Actually, I'm not missing it all that much. I've been trying to get back to my photojournalism roots. It's just a...

OK, throwing Picasa into the conversation was a bad move.

Personally, I think Studio should be included with the E cameras, Master with the consumer cameras.

Wait a sec - just reading back some...

I didn't think how this question would/could be answered by Windows or Mac users. I'm a Mac user. From a Mac perspective, the software is pretty clunky and it just doesn't bring anything new to the...

I haven't asked this question in a while but is anyone using this software for much of anything other than upgrading firmware, maybe remote shooting?

Granted Master is free but even Picasa blows...

It's level bu skewed on several planes and oddly distorted. It's almost like the angel of view is tipped down and slightly to the right with a touch of barrel distortion. Nothing that Photoshop can't...
