Panasonic has released firmware for seven of their Micro Four Thirds lenses that magically turn them into "HD" lenses. That means you get quiet, continuous AF -- perfect for movie recording. The quality of the image stabilization for video recording has also been improved. The lenses included in this update include the 8mm fisheye, 14mm pancake, and the 7-14, 14-42, 14-45, 45-200, and 100-300 mm zooms. The updates and instructions can be found here.
In other news, Olympus has updated the firmware for the E-5 pro D-SLR to version 1.2. This update ensures that the rotation of the dial on the optional battery grip matches the movement direction of the AF target. You can use the included Olympus software to update your camera, or download Olympus Digital Camera Updater.
