Olympus interview at Phototrend: More MFT cameras will be announced in 2019!
The French website Phototrend interviewed a bunch of Olympus managers. Here a couple of takeaways:
– In 2018 Olympus did not announce new MFT products because of the move of the factory from China to Vietnam
– In 2019 Olympus plans to release more new MFT cameras
– We do not want to go to the full format and want to stay focused on what we can do because we want to offer compact and lightweight products
– The MFT system has a unique advantage over the competition which is size and portability.
– E-M1II sales did growth after Olympus announcement that they will stick to MFT only.
There is also a lot of talk about the new E-M1X features. But nothing new to report here :)
The Heat pipe of the E-M1X
Olympus did share this small detail about the E-M1X heat pipe:
The Olympus E-M1X has powerful dual TruePic VIII image processing engines. In addition to image processing, these engines also control state-of-the-art functions such as Intelligent Subject Recognition AF, High Res Shot mode, and Live ND. As you can imagine, these engines generate an unprecedented amount of heat due to the enormous amount of calculations and processing they handle. Likewise the camera’s ultra high-speed continuous 4K / C4K shooting capability and powerful camera shake correction function generate heat as well. Finding a solution to prevent overheating- especially in sunlight- was a big task for the E-M1X design team.
To keep all of this hardware cool Olympus designed the E-M1X with a heat pipe that effectively disperses heat from the processors up through the casing and into the surrounding environment. This technical feat lets you shoot freely without worrying about the camera overheating.

New Profoto Connect Wireless Transmitter for Olympus
You can preorder it now at BHphoto. This is the official press text:
With the Profoto Connect Wireless Transmitter for Olympus cameras, you have a wireless connection with AirTTL lights that controls flash sync, remote control, Auto TTL, and HSS. The transmitter also controls flash sync and remote control in Air lights. There are three settings on the Connect transmitter itself. Auto being the first, takes all the guess work of setting up your flashes. The manual setting is there if you want to set the flashes yourself and be more creative. The final setting, of course, is to turn it off when the transmitter is not in use.
By downloading the Profoto app and with Bluetooth connection, you can control your lights wirelessly as well and upgrade your firmware later through the app. The Connect works on a frequency of 2.4 GHz and up to eight channels with an operating range of a 1000′ when using it with normal sync flash and remote control, and 330′ with Auto TTL and HSS. The built-in lithium-ion polymer battery has a battery life of 30 hours and is rechargeable via the included USB cable. Additionally, the transmitter powers off after 60 minutes of inactivity.
