Has anyone updated the firmware of their E-PL1 to version 1.1? Did it help with your auto focus?

I did but didn't notice any difference about the performance of auto focus.

Version 1.1 is faster!! Version 1.2 is only for some updated accessories I believe...

I did but never really saw the problem with the autofocus

Olympus says the autofocus performance is faster with 1.1, so I would upgrade to 1.1 or 1.2. Version 1.2 was only claimed to allow compatibility with the EVF2 viewfinder, so at first glance it seems not needed unless you have that viewfinder. But I always suspect there may be unannounced fixes and improvement so I went to 1.2.

A much better upgrade is the the newer lens, type II or IIR. It has much faster AF and is almost silent, better for video.
