Did you ever think that maybe our lives are too dependent on software? :D
When I took word processing at a local community college back in the 80s, the instructor told me I would need to change from thinking mechanically - as with a typewriter - to thinking electronically with the computer. The same is true with the transition from film to digital. Digital requires a dependence on software and such. It's just the way it is.

yes, you can NORMALLY do it on your Olympus camera but I cocked up and wiped the firmware off the Panny lens!
Now my Olympus camera and update software won't recognise the lens.
Looks like I need a Panny Camera to sort it out! :roll:
They're both good systems. I've always had Panny cameras up until my OM-D which I'm more than pleased with.

Me too. Hardly use my Nikon D7000 anymore, though I do think it is still better for sports.
Just curious... how did you wipe the firmware off your Panny lens?

Do you mean a Panny camera is required to do an update on your Panny lens? You can't do it with your OMD? If so, that is what I meant about being leery of using a Panny lens.

You might check with Olympus to see what they say about supporting and updating Panasonic accessories. Do you have a local dealer who carries Panny equipment?
That is the problem when you buy outside the Nikon-Canon-Sony triumvirate. It takes time to get answers. Again, good luck.
Your experience has cautioned me about using Panny lenses with my OMD.

I was installing the new firmware for my Panasonic 45-175 lens on my Olympus OM-D when the computer crashed.
Now the camera will not recognise the lens at all, or the Olympus firmware updater recognise the lens is attached to the camera!
How can or do I go about getting the firmware re-installed in the lens?

RJM, do you have access to another computer you could use? From your question, it appears the crash did not affect the OMD. If that's true, you are most fortunate. Do your other lenses work with the camera? Did you use the Oly updater for the Panasonic lens? i would suggest you find another computer, load the updater, and give it another try. Good luck!

Great pictures. I don't understand some people's aversion to bird images (your warning). I enjoy taking them and seeing them on this site. Let's keep it up. Maybe the administrators could have a separate section just for birds so the dissenters could simply ignore it.

Scott Settlement, outside Little Rock, Arkansas, is a museum of former plantation buildings. This photo shoot was a project of the Hillcrest Camera Club, sponsored by my church.

Look under FAQ/Rules. It's about the fourth question down.

Any one out there who has the Olympus and has used the multiple-exposure feature? I read the relevant page of the manual (p. 62) 3 times and still can't seem to get it right. Help.
I suggest you check the u43 website. They have a dedicated Olympus section. You can do a search or ask your question, and I guarantee you'll get a quick and straight answer. Good luck.

Had to be a great experience. Thanks for sharing. The first 3 could have used fill flash. Some PP could fix that.

The D70 is a fine camera, though the screen is a bit small. I broke the bottom on mine at the battery cover and have to hold it together with gaffer tape. Wanted to use a battery grip. That would have solved that issue, but there is none - nada- to be found. Nikon seems to continue support of the D70s but not the D70.

To all of you who responded to this original thread... thanks. I used Recuva and managed to recover my lost images. I am grateful to you all.

Thanks to everyone for your responses. Suspecting it might be possible, I immediately took the card out of my camera. I will take your suggestions to heart. I appreciate you!
