New EM-5 firmware update (1.5) is out

Saw this on 43Rumours then verified on mu43.com. Among other things, it's supposed to quiet down the "whirring" sound. I did the update, but have not noticed any difference. Did it just before heading out the door to work, so have not had time to really look at it.

Also, when you do the update, it does 1.4 first. Then you go from 1.4 to 1.5.

Doh!! After checking with Oly Updater last night, I found that It was only at 1.4 - must not have let the 1.5 update finish. Re-did 1.5 and now my EM-5 is silent until I depress shutter button.

Interesting!

Just updated to 1.5 (German version, though). I had to do 1.3 first (from 1.1), then from 1.3 to 1.5.

The camera is MUCH quieter now, I almost do not hear it in a quiet room. Only when I press the shutter (have set it to switch on I.S. when half pressing shutter) the sound is back, little different then before, maybe a little lower in volume, in I.S. 1/2/3. When I.S. is set to "Off", the sound is almost gone.
