    Micro 4/3 OM-1 Mk2

    Thanks for the reply, but I had already done that and see no reference to his "notes". Do you mean that petition? If not, can you tell me which of the many links in that area you are referring to, please.

    Micro 4/3 OM-1 Mk2

    How would I do that? I don't see any reference to his notes, and I sure don't want to listen to a 2 hour video.

    Micro 4/3 OM-1 Mk2

    I think that the only people who are likely to be tempted are those like myself who are still using an E-M1.3 or .2 and the additional improvements to the OM-1 might be enough to entice them to take the plunge. Um, probably not, at least in my case.

    Micro 4/3 Panasonic's in-camera Monochrome filter/s

    Very informative reply, Miguel. It does explain to me quite well why you are doing what you are doing. I certainly agree that having to experiment every time you want to convert your images to that look in PP software would be a non-starter. I guess I was just thinking that it would be...

    Micro 4/3 Panasonic's in-camera Monochrome filter/s

    I like all these nifty photos, and the people taking them are much more advanced and have a better eye than I ever will. However, I am completely mystified by this talk about using in-camera processing like this to achieve a particular look. I mean, why not just shoot color (RAW would be...

    Micro 4/3 To OM-1 or To G9 II

    I don't think you can judge anything about such a pixel-peep level of performance in a YouTube video. I don't understand why they even post such snippets. I think we will have to wait for true resolution versions like they used to post on Dpreview (or at least 100% crops) to really see if there...

    Micro 4/3 Not even a rumour

    It's kind of obvious that we need Panasonic to make an APS-C version of the S5II to round out the set, right?!? 😛

    Micro 4/3 Not even a rumour

    Yes, they are the same body (except for the fortunate removal of the fan, which saves some weight), as has been reported now in many reviews. Kind of large...🙁
  12. RAH

    Micro 4/3 Not even a rumour

    It's considerably fatter, I think. Only remaining question seems to be whether it's a somewhat scaled-down S5II or the same body.

    Micro 4/3 Remote trigger compatible Panasonic AND Olympus EM1X

    My guess is that if the plug that goes into the camera is the same with Oly and Pany, there MIGHT be cross-system compatibility. I am scratching my head as to how it even works with seemingly all types of Oly cameras - new OMS models, a little older E-M5.3 and E-M1.3 (with the Canon-like pin)...

    Micro 4/3 Remote trigger compatible Panasonic AND Olympus EM1X

    I think you could use a system like this (from B&H): https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1628860-REG/vello_fwp_o_freewave_plus_wireless_remote.html It works for up to 320' and works with OM-1 and OM-5, plus EM1X, as far as I can see. I'm sure there are other brands that would do the trick.

    Micro 4/3 Lens For Close Up Videography

    To get those levels of magnification, you'd probably use a teleconverter or a close-up lens. The rule of thumb is: With an extension tube, the lower the focal length, the MORE effect it has. The longer the lens, the less effect it has. So, to get a big effect on a lens like a 400mm, you need a...

    Micro 4/3 Are you a bird shooter? Take a look at Photoshop's latest.

    I have posted this image on the other forum in threads on this topic. Yes, I felt I had to remove the blob; otherwise, the image is essentially ruined, I think (I cannot convince myself that it tells any "story" other than how stray crap can ruin a bird image). Maybe an extreme example (maybe...

    Yeah, but just think about how COOL a comet would look ☄️ streaking across the sky over that bird's head. It would be amazing!! 😉

    Micro 4/3 Are you a bird shooter? Take a look at Photoshop's latest.

    This is an discussion (disagreement; call it anything you like) that could go on forever. On the other m43 forum we just went thru a discussion of sky removal/substitution, which is basically the same discussion. How much is too much, etc. For example, how about removing just that foreground...

    Micro 4/3 Recommendations For A Costa Rica Wildlife Kit

    I agree with @sturgeon on the idea of smaller cards and more of them. I like to take a lot of 64MB cards. I put a reformatted card in every morning (and of course take at least one extra along with me), storing those from the previous day wherever I am staying. Some say that is overkill, but...

    Micro 4/3 Silicon Skins for Micro 4/3 cameras

    Micro 4/3 Silicon Skins for Micro 4/3 cameras

    When you read his last statement, this seems like a strange thing. I mean, Olympus does make m43 WR bodies and lenses, right? I guess maybe they didn't back in 2011? He's probably still walking the earth looking for that skin...

I have set up a new thread: https://cameraderie.org/threads/button-assignments-with-oly-and-omds-cameras.54933/ I wasn't sure whether it should be titled "C-Modes" or "button assignments", but I guess button assignments is good.

    Micro 4/3 Advice wanted: Olympus OM-D E-M5 III resetting its frame counter at random intervals ...

    Rob Trek has an interesting video on using button assignments for C Modes on the OM-1: It kind of clarifies how these button assignments work while the dial is in normal PASM modes and when the dial is in a C-mode. Even on the OM-1, you cannot use a C-mode BUTTON to go to a different C-mode...

    Micro 4/3 Button assignments with Olympus and OM System cameras

    Micro 4/3 Olympus 12-40 2.8 for indoors?

    Well, I don't really think "it depends" all that much. I mean, unless you live in a studio with very bright lights or a greenhouse, very few homes have enough light to not be considered kind of dim by photography standards. So yeah, 2.8 is often too slow. Which is why I and a lot of other...

    Micro 4/3 Olympus 12-40 2.8 for indoors?

    I agree with those saying that for shooting kids indoors, you would be better off with a lens wider than 25mm. I think the Oly 17mm 1.8 would be ideal. Anything wider might be too much, with the potential for too much distortion on the edges. If you have a kit lens, you could experiment with the...

    Micro 4/3 Advice wanted: Olympus OM-D E-M5 III resetting its frame counter at random intervals ...

    Yes, this is the setting that controls this, but I kind of assumed he already knows about this. However, @MoonMind , this resetting problem sounds almost exactly what happened to me with the filenaming change combined with using Custom modes that were established earlier. Are you using any...

    Micro 4/3 Advice wanted: Olympus OM-D E-M5 III resetting its frame counter at random intervals ...

    Do you mean that it resets its filenames or do you mean its shutter activations (or something else that I cannot figure)? Edit: OK, I'm realizing that frame counter is probably a video thing (I never do video). But I'm wondering if your seemingly random resets is related to a kind-of similar...

    Micro 4/3 OM-5 has been released:

    Well, I have to disagree. To me the OM-5 (and E-M5.3 before it) feel very solid and NOT plasticy. Granted it doesn't feel as hard as my E-M1.3 (so yeah, I know what such a camera feels like, along with my Canon 80D DSLR), but it still feels fine, IMHO. To me it feels pretty much like my old...

    Micro 4/3 Odd Problem With My OM-1s

    From what I have read, the default function of the L-FN button is "AF-stop" (I can only read about it since I have no lens with that button). From your description of the problem, I assume you like that default and have left it set at that. One suggestion I have is to set it to something else...

    Micro 4/3 Olympus 100-400 vs 300 Pro

    But he already mentioned that he has tested the lens using a tripod and it works fine. As I said above, "If results look good under controlled conditions using a tripod, then it MUST be user error, right?" I would think that must be the case and just exchanging lenses won't make any difference.

    Micro 4/3 Olympus 100-400 vs 300 Pro

    Camera Conspiracies YouTube channel has a video savaging (as only he can!) the stiffness of the PL 100-400 (I've watched other reviews by him and he likes the Oly 100-400). See it here (queued at the place he talks about the lens):

    Micro 4/3 Olympus 100-400 vs 300 Pro

    Yes, I agree with you now that I thought about it some more. I was mainly just trying to be nice to someone using shutter Priority and Auto-ISO (not my style). ;) But yeah, use a faster shutter, for sure. I also agree that using a 2x TC is asking for trouble with the 100-400. As far as...
  38. RAH

    Micro 4/3 Olympus 100-400 vs 300 Pro

    OK, I see what you mean. I guess you are using Shutter Priority (set to 1/1000) and having the camera assign auto iso with certain limitations). That seems like it should work for such shots. Hmmm. I think that f9 is a pretty small aperture to be using, but I understand why you would want to get...

    Micro 4/3 Olympus 100-400 vs 300 Pro

    @Sernat You didn't mention whether you are shooting with a tripod, but I think you aren't. If not, isn't one VERY likely reason for your poor results is camera shake? I see that for your earlier shots (with the image link) you were getting fast shutter speeds, but maybe not so much with the...

    Micro 4/3 To switch or not to switch?

    I agree. But at least you can build a MyMenu menu that looks similar for the two different cameras. With the E-M5.3 you don't even have that option. (Yayyy for the OM-5!!). While they are doing that FW upgrade, it would be really nice to add support for the new wireless remote to the E-M1.3...

    Micro 4/3 E-m5.3 or e-m1.2??

    Well said! 😊
  46. RAH

    Micro 4/3 To switch or not to switch?

    Yes, I agree about the 12-45. It's considerably smaller and lighter than even the PL 12-60 or P12-35. It is very sharp even wide open and just about perfect, IMHO. I also use the PL 12-60 (even for travel) if I think I'll need the extra reach (or speed, but that's usually not a factor for me)...

    Micro 4/3 Tell me I made a good choice.....

    As others have said, I think the 8-18 lens is excellent. I do also like the m43 9-18 for use as a travel lens, but if I am near home, I'll use the 8-18 because I think it is sharper and the added size doesn't matter. I think the new PL 9mm is a good alternative to the 9-18 for an UW for travel...

    Micro 4/3 E-m5.3 or e-m1.2??

    It sounds like you are thinking about a used camera, but just to add another thought to your quesiton, you might consider the new OM-5. It is basically a downsized E-M1.3, so you get most of the new features that were added to the E-M1.2 when the E-M1.3 came out. The OM-5 is the same price as...

    Micro 4/3 Olympus 12-100/4 Pro: Flexibility vs Portability

    Well shoot, I have a Canon 15-85mm lens, which gives equiv 24-136 on my APS-C Canon 80D. It's slightly heavier than the 12-100 and has a lot less focal range. So that's what even APS-C gets you. So yeah, the 12-100 is a good size for its reach and supposed to be great IQ too (but both these...
  50. RAH

    Micro 4/3 So what other camera alternatives are there to the OM5?

    I don't do video either, but one feature that might interest you that's new (for m43) is that the OM-5 can do vertical video (portrait format). And, of course, OM cameras have IBIS that's super (I assume for video too).
