Nippon camera and optics manufacturer Olympus has recently revealed its latest interchangeable lens camera, the entry-level E-M10, and presented it for the first time at last week's CP+ Camera & Photo Imaging Show in Yokohama, Japan.

Previous rumors stated that the company was planning to add focus peaking to the E-M5 model via a future firmware update but, according to 43rumors, Olympus is preparing to release a new firmware build that comes with a few surprise features.

The new build will be released for the current OM-D series E-M1, E-M5, and E-M10 cameras as well as for the PEN E-P5 mirrorless camera model. It's being said that this update will add a couple of new options when shooting using the integrated or optional viewfinder.

Moreover, it seems that the E-M1 firmware update will also enhance the current audio recording levels of this camera model from 3 steps to 21 steps.
