Hi all!
Some time ago my camera/laptop alerted me that there was an update to the camera software, and I installed some updater software on the computer. However, to update I need to connect to camera to the laptop, obviously. Just that I have no idea where I put the cable, that probably must have come with the camera. We have moved abroad after that, and have something like 5 boxes with cables and electronics (my husband is a hoarder on these things). At the time I bought the camera, I obviously never thought I'd use it.
Does anyone know if it's possible to buy spare cables of this type, from the camera to USB or USB C? It's for Olympus OMD E-M1 Mark II.

Or if not, what does software updates for camera usually consist in? Something that helps my photography or just interface-ish things?

It takes a USB-A to USB-C cable for data transfer
See middle photo here for where it plugs in

Are you sure it's the Mark II version of the E-M1 - I thought that used a standard USB C cable?
There are supposedly some significant improvements with Autofocus for the M1ii in the latest firmware version.

It is possible to upgrade the camera firmware using an SD card but I've never tried it and it's unofficial as far as I can tell.

You might be better off asking in the owners thread here

Yes, it's Mark II. I hadn't noticed the opening for the USB C slot - I found it now. Thank you both! The babe is now updated :).
