Wherever it’ll show up, and whenever, I’d probably keep an eye on the Olympus website for now. So, does Olympus still own the rights to the software? Surely it’d be the new OM Digital Solutions company and website that’d be dealing with it if it had been handed over along with the rest of the camera-related Olympus tech? We will release OM-D Webcam Beta with the applicable fixes as soon as possible.Īnd who even owns the rights to the software? Olympus (yup, actual Olympus, not the new “OM Digital Solutions” brand) has said on their website that they acknowledge the issue and that they “will release OM-D Webcam Beta with the applicable fixes as soon as possible”. Our R&D team has identified this problem. OM-D Webcam Beta has not been fully functional since January 1st, 2021. Was it planned to kill off the software and then JIP would release their own version? Without them telling any of their actual customers and users? Or was it just an innocent screwup on the part of one of their developers? The notice on the Olympus website reads… The more cynical amongst us will think it awfully convenient/coincidental that the software just happened to die just as Olympus handed over the reins to JIP. The workaround is to change the date of the computer manually to the end of 2020, BUT this causes rejects by the ZOOM teleconferencing software (the meeting date is too far from the clock date), also from the web browser (Firefox) that blocks (fear of virus), and finally Lightroom that I was supposed to demonstrate remotely tells me that more than 24 hours time-difference with the actual world clock is not acceptable.


I have used this software so that my webcam is actually my qualitative E-M1X (or E-M1 ii) with good optics and zooming facility. The issue was first spotted by a user called “Marc” on 43rumors, who wrote…
