Olympus Viewer 3 retired, now use Olympus Workspace

Olympus just made Olympus Workspace available in 32 bit, 64 bit and MacOS versions. There is a file named OV4.ini in the folder with the executable so maybe it was going to be called Olympus Viewer 4 but they decided to make the name change so that we would take notice. Also, 4 isn't a greatly favoured number in Japan and China.

You'll want some manual or documentation. When you first install Workspace, the documentation is not supplied. You need to run Workspace, choose Help > Update Software to display the following dialog

to get the Adobe Acrobat format file in

C:\Program Files (x86)\OLYMPUS\Olympus Workspace 

Why did Olympus call the new pro flagship E-M1x ?

The new pro flagship for the Olympus Micro Four Thirds line has just been launched. Youtubers, bloggers are having their initial impressions published.

After running through a few of these, the question that I came up with is, why did Olympus call the camera the X ? What's your guess?

• It's X for Xtra Large?
• It's X for eXperimantal test rig to develop all the new tech without size or energy constraints and let that trickle down later to the other cameras in the line?
• It's X for eXtended OMD-EM1?
• It's to balance with eXtra long lenses? 

Here are the initial impressions / videos so far.  Come to MeWe and join in the community for friendly chats on Olympus gear https://mewe.com/join/olympusfriendsaustralia
