If you own an OM System camera and you're also a macOS user, you need to update your firmware right now – otherwise, you might not be able to update it ever again.

This is due to undisclosed macOS security updates that may interfere with future OM System firmware, preventing you from upgrading your camera in the future. However, by installing to the most recent OM firmware now, you will be able to update your camera even with the changes to macOS.

"For camera products sold by our company, firmware updates may no longer be possible due to future macOS updates," said the first notice, accompanying the launch of new firmware for its cameras.

"We ask that you please update your camera before updating your macOS. By updating to the firmware version released today, the camera update function will be changed so that firmware updates can be performed even in future macOS environments."
