Half pressed to return from magnified to normal view.

That's all I wish for...

The manual focus helper, it should disappear when the shutter button is half pressed because I often loosing my focus by simply pressing the manual focus switcher again.


It is annoying when we are using legacy lenses...


Also, the FN button should be usable to switch the manual focus helper without being in the manual mode so we can use this mode without loosing all the other information on the screen.

As I said in previous posts, and I'm not the only one, a FOV scale is my need, and also an actual ISO information on the screen when the camera is in autoISO.

Olympus........

Pls to fulfill my request on the AF assist on the external when using FL-36R & FL-50R with E-P1 or 2.

This is a need for the camera to perform well in the low light......

some one had mentioned this in the 1.2 thread but i think it would be of great benefit:


x 3, x 5 as well as x 7 and x10  magnification on manual focus assist.

It would be even better if the +/- button on the top plate could be programmed to do this. It's without use anyway, when you have exposure compensation programmed to the thumbwheel on the back.

- Fix the over-exposure problem when used with the FL-14 flash!
Pictures always should have a special story behind it or a special meaning to the photographer.

Add the remote flash control menu (from the regular 4/3ds cameras) and let the FL-14 function as a remote flash controller.

Complete exposure information overlaid on a full-size image in review. I mean, how basic is that?
 
A smaller histogram overlay combined with exposure information.
Be nice to each other, life is too short for anything else.

let me use my camera as live cam (like a webcam). (It's a software limitation, not hardware)

The only thing I want on my E-P1 is the ability to have a much smaller focus zone.  The big squares are fine for any landscape/architecture/details work, but for people?  I miss a LOT of shots with my 20/1.7 because the focus area won't hit the eyes, but rather the shirt, or the contrasty thing behind the head...not ideal.  Make the focus box 1/4 the size or smaller, and I wouldn't need any other updates.

If you use face detection, the focus zone will adapt to the size of the face and thus be smaller than the standard focus zone if the person(s) is further away from the camera.

Fix the level gauge bug introduced in ver 1.2 update.

As I like using OM manual focus lenses I would like to see the focus confirm green dot and beep working when in focus, this works on my Nikons, not sure if it can be implemented with live view, contrast based  focus cameras, maybe someone can answer this one for me.
