I upgraded my MacBook Pro to O/S X 10.7 (Lion) yesterday.
I've tested the various Olympus software packages under Lion and here are my
preliminary results. I tested with my E-1, my E-620 and my E-P2.
Master 2 - transfers images and edits files w/o problems
Viewer 2 - transfers images and edits files w/o problems
Studio 2 - transfers images and edits files w/o problems
- Camera control mode under Lion: does not detect attached camera (E-620)
- Camera control mode under Snow Leopard: detected camera and operated properly
except for intervalometer mode (that control window never appeared)
- Camera control mode under Leopard: all features worked including
intervalometer
*** This problem has been reported to Olympus (but I think it unlikely that
there will be any update for the Studio program). ***
Digital Camera Updater - v1.0.1 crashes [this is the latest available]
*** This problem has been reported to Olympus and the Mac crash report for the
program was included. ***
=========
Olympus also released an update of Viewer 2 for both Macintosh and Windows
yesterday, this changes the release to v1.20
Here is what Olympus says:
OLMPUS Viewer 2 - Ver. 1.2
- Added the function to upload movies to YouTube.
- Support for RAW files from the latest cameras
- Added [White Edge Effect] and [Star Light Effect] to Art Effect options
in "RAW Development" and "Image Edit" windows.
- Improved startup and Browse window performance.
OLMPUS Viewer 2 - Ver. 1.11
- Support for "E-PL2"
- Support for "XZ-1"
OLMPUS Viewer 2 - Ver. 1.1
- Support for "E-5"
======== Viewer 2 + Studio 2 on Mac - Complication =========
If you have Studio 2 installed on the Mac and do the Viewer 2 v1.2.0 update, it
apparently overwrites or deletes a file needed by Studio 2, causing the latter
to crash.
Reinstalling Studio 2 (v.2.3.0) fixed the crash problem. I have not observed
any problems with Viewer 2 (so far).
*** This problem has been reported to Olympus and the Mac crash report for the
program was included. ***
I did not find any problems with the Windows version of Studio 2 after the
Viewer 2 v1.2.0 update was installed.
