Pre-release · 18 Oct 2026PEN-F HSL alpha — 17 October 2026

PEN-F HSL alpha for Olympus PEN-F firmware 3.1.

New since the 13 October alpha:

  • Hue, Saturation and Lightness now cover −7…+7.
  • H/L are preserved by ordinary OM Workspace settings backup/restore.

The ZIP contains the patched BIN, stock-restore BIN, instructions, checksums and patch details. Both firmware BINs include main and OSD components (44,433,408 bytes each), so the Value bitmap is included and no previous HSL installation is required.

Before downgrading, bring every saved COLOR saturation value within −5…+5, including custom modes. The firmware menu continues to display 3.1.

Stock restoration followed by installation of this exact combined release BIN passed on the project camera on 17 October 2026. Offline updater and checksum checks also pass. Experimental firmware is used at your own risk; recovery from every failure is not guaranteed.
