Yes its an upgrade, they are adding somethings which have been introduced on the E-M10 MKII and E-M5 MKII and some more. It doesn't add anything to improve the E-M1 poor C-AF performance.

There already was an upgrade for C-AF on the EM 1 and it worked extremely well!

There has been firmware upgrade for C-AF when used with high continuos shooting. 9fps. If you ready the Olympus e-group forum there are many pages about the issue. I have used a E-M1 since launch used it with 4/3rds and m3/4rds lens. Tried every type of setting but the C-AF performance is not very good. Some people have got better results using the camera in portrait mode, but this is a compromise not a solution. E-M1 struggles to acquire focus and doesn't always hold it. I have tried it on Motorsport and aircraft. The C-AF on E-5 was better. Sold all my 4/3rds lens bought a D3s and a couple of lens best thing I have done. Still got E-M1 as a light weight walk around camera where C-AF is not critical. Love the camera but C-AF and high ISO performance doesn't cut it.

I found it worked well, but as you stated, in High continuous. That being said, not as good as my nikon D610, everything has it's pro's and con's!

It is pretty amazing what oly does through firmware, it's almost a completely new camera! Sorry, but Nikon is left in the dust when it comes to firmware upgrades (real upgrades).
