No, you don't have to, it works out of the box! http://www.olympus.co.jp/en/support/imsg/digicamera/compati/pen_optical.cfm

I use my VF-2 on Olympus cameras; EPL-1 and EPL-5 without problems. It is a great viewfinder! The other respondents that have used them on Panasonic/Leica cameras have your answer. You'll love it!

Wendy, The manufacturer's website still is not on the Internet. When the company releases a new firmware version, it removes the old firmware version from the Internet download server, in the process breaking previously functional links to firmware downloads. As such, you need to send an email to TriVision support to obtain the latest firmware version for your camera and the installation instructions for the firmware. The email address listed on Amazon's product page for this camera is incorrect - the correct email address is: info@trivisiontech.com

Firmware is the operating system that runs your camera. You can find your version by going to menu &gt; setup &gt; Version Disp. It should be Version 1.1. I have tested this battery on Version 1.1 and it works just fine.

The previous model went to F8.0 and it also took the same memory card size. The previous model shot raw and jpg but I see no mention of raw on the Olympus website for this camera. I'd like to see some photos at 26x before I buy it. There are only 2 things that bother me about the previous Olympus ultra-zoom and that is the 4 batteries - I'd much rather have a battery pack as it's easier to insert and close the battery cover and that if you take a photo using the viewfinder, the finished image still flashes on the LCD screen. Took me a long time to not be distracted by that.

I do not know to tell the truth. Contact Olympus I am sure they will tell you

Apparently yes. They told me that it is the same as the firmware fix that they came out with in July(?). That DID NOT fix the battery warning light problem. I don't believe that they are planning to do anything more. (They'll fix it in the next incarnation of this camera [sx290?]) If you don't use video, then no problem. Otherwise, video invokes the problem.

Hi Emic, Sony engineers are the ones working on these updates. Firmware update for the camcorder will only be available from the Sony website. -Vincent

I can't see any reason that it wouldn't work. Will not allow electronic viewfinder.

Can you use the Sony FDA-EV1S view finder or any other sony viewfinder with the A3000a

I used both firmwares 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 and they work fine on both. There was not a change in performance to either firmwares that we noticed during use. During our last event, my buddy was using the 6D with the 1.1.2 and I was using another with the 1.1.3, using the STK batteries - we both basically had to change batteries close to the same time.

Nothing. Just make sure it says HERO2 on the front of the cam, and keep your firmware updated.

I'm not sure, but you can download the complete operation manual at the olympus website. it is pretty complete and should answer your questions.

I bought this to use with the E-PM1 and it works great. As long as your camera has a USB release plug, which I'm pretty sure that it does, it will work. Since the E-PM2 is compatible with the Olympus RM-UC1 Remote Cable Release just like the E-PM1, I'm fairly certain that it will work.

If you are just buying it, it probably is. Check camera manual on how to display version when the lens is attached. It is simple to update if needed.Go to http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/download/fts/index.html to see the latest firmware version. Version now is 1.2.
