I programmed my AF/MF switch button onto my REC button and have set it up so that as soon as I touch the focus ring on the lens, I get the magnified view...this has made precise/night time shooting/focusing an absolute joy! My eye never has to leave the viewfinder, even if the camera's having trouble focusing!

With my DSLR (a Canon 5D Mark II, which I love very much and admittedly its low light focus abilities are significantly superior to that of the OM-D), if it fails to focus, I have to throw a physical switch on the lens to switch to MF, then turn on Live View, forcing me to use the LCD instead of the viewfinder, then magnify my focus point, then focus, then exit the magnified view to compose and then take the picture.

Whereas with the OM-D: I hit the REC button to switch to MF, focus, it automatically magnifies my focus point, then jumps back to normal view when I've finished focusing so I can compose, and take the picture.

That is all...just a random, pointless, I'm-so-freaking-happy-with-this-camera post.

Cheerio!

OM-D, EP-5, or wait? http://www.mu-43.com/f42/new-m4-3s-om-d-ep-5-wait-47952/ Mon, 17 Jun 2013 03:34:06 GMT First time poster here and I was hoping you guys could help me with some advice.

I would describe myself as an advanced enthusiast/amateur photographer. I'm currently using a DSLR system, shooting mostly landscapes/cityscapes and the occasional portrait session. I plan to keep my DSLR system but I'm looking for a lightweight mirrorless to complement it. The m4/3s would be mainly for travel/vacation or a 'carry everywhere' type of camera should I ever need it - for those moments that I didn't bring the big heavy SLR but the iPhone camera just won't do.

All that being said, what would suit me more? The OM-D or the EP-5? or should I wait for the next rumored announcement of a camera in September?

I'm currently leaning towards the EP-5 because:
Focus Peaking - I love using older MF lenses
1/8000
Smaller form factor

OM-D - Weathersealing - I do travel to somewhat inclement places at times and I don't baby my gear. I don't abuse my gear but I do see it as tools and well, tools will wear and tear over time.

I don't like the EVF - I owned and loved the X100 for a period time. But, I hated the EVF. I figured that since the OM-D EVF has a similar number of dots as the X100, I'll probably dislike the OMD EVF. Is this a safe assumption? I'm thinking that since the VF-4 has more dots - perhaps it would be the better VF for me?

Last option - wait for the new announcement in Sept 9. I'm hoping it would be an OM-D level or higher camera - EP-5 features + weather sealing would be perfect as long as the size isn't too large. I read on 43 rumors that it might have 15 stops of dynamic range too, which would be crazy perfect!

I've had my OM-D for a little under a month now...and I've discovered an intermittent problem with it.

I generally leave my cameras on all the time. I just let them go to sleep between shots, but I rarely turn them off.

However, with the OM-D, sometimes there's an issue where the camera won't wake up if it's been in sleep mode for a long time 20-30 minutes or longer.

Usually, a half-press of the shutter button will wake the camera up just fine. But sometimes, it won't do anything, and even turning the camera off and on won't help, and I have to turn the camera off, remove the battery, put the battery back in and turn the camera on...has anyone else experienced this? It's rather annoying... ]]> Olympus Cameras LowriderS10 http://www.mu-43.com/f42/om-d-won-t-wake-up-long-sleep-47944/ Picked up an EPM2 and I like it a lot (plenty of pics) http://www.mu-43.com/f42/picked-up-epm2-i-like-lot-plenty-pics-47943/ Sun, 16 Jun 2013 23:50:53 GMT Both Newton's Fourth Law and the Fourth Law of Thermodynamics state that any money obtained from the sale of guitar and photo equipment must be reinvested in the same pursuit so as not to upset the forces of nature. Or so I tell my wife. So in order not to mess something up, when I sold off my D7000 and remaining lens I had to spend the money on camera stuff, specifically m43's. So I got a lens and an EPM2. I took a few shots inside with my 7-14, and got a lot of the dreaded purple blobs (John Grigg's analysis about this is very good and spot on) with the new body. Needless to say I was thinking I should send it back and use the GX1 as my smaller, easy to carry body, especially with the 7-14. I figured I'd give the mini a try outside anyway as we were going to visit my stepson and his wife to see their new puppies. I was really happy with how small it was and how easy it was to carry the body, a 20mm, and a 14-45. To make a long story short, I ended up really liking it, and it will be taking a place alongside my other bodies for the foreseeable future.

I'm really enjoying this camera.

I was able to get the HLD-6 from my local camera shop on sale last weekend. (Turned out it's still cheaper at Amazon, but I like to support the local camera shop so they stay around.)

However… I'm torn about whether to keep it, or return it. My return window is closing fast.

It improves handling dramatically, at the expense of bulking up the camera a bit. It handles a lot more like the D80 it replaces with the grip on. Seems like this would be especially useful if I attach a speed light.

However, you've got to remove the thing to replace the battery. This alone may keep me from using it very often.

Those of you who have the grip — do you use it often? Is removing it to get at the battery a nuisance in practice? (Seems like it would be particularly, when shooting out in the field. If I know I'm going to be shooting tomorrow, I often pop out the battery to top it off. I might avoid doing that with the grip attached.)

Anyone used both the Olympus grip and the RRS grip, and can compare the two? (The latter offers access to the battery.) ]]> Olympus Cameras Jim_C http://www.mu-43.com/f42/om-d-e-m5-grip-not-grip-47938/ Push-button Focus on OMD? http://www.mu-43.com/f42/push-button-focus-omd-47906/ Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:09:10 GMT My Canon DSLRs have something called Custom Function 4, which allows one to autofocus by simple pushing a button on the back of the camera.

I was used to carrying an E3 and I gotta tell you - the significantly lighter camera was so nice to pack around. I used the 9-18mm for all these shots sometimes with ND filters and a polarizer for the waterfalls. Next week I'm off to Havasupai for 3 days in the canyon so I'll have a trip report and photos to post from that trip. The canyon country of the American southwest is so awesome and I live here too so I get to explore it a lot. Enjoy

AND, I also picked up the 75-300 zoom this week - just got here today. Too late to go out and use it, but was just playing with it in the house and I noticed something.

Have the camera in single AF mode - but when I point the lens and different objects the camera automatically focuses the image without me even partially depressing the shutter release - so it's acting more like continuous AF it seems.

Is this normal behavior that I just didn't really notice with the 12-50 kit lens? I did pop the kit lens back on and sure enough it does the same thing, so I'm thinking it's normal. With the kit lens I was at the wide end of the zoom a lot and this behavior is not as noticeable there.

One thing I can't seem to get working is the touch screen. The manual indicates that I should be able to make selections on the 'Super Control Panel' using the touch screen, but the touch screen seems inactive.

I've hunted around for the touch screen control and think I've found it (in the 'gear' K-Utility menu, 'Touch Screen Settings'). I've verified that it's set to 'On', and also tried setting if 'Off' and then back to 'On'. Still no reaction from the touch screen.

Is there something else I need to do, or does sound like this may be a defective camera?

(BTW, I'm loving the form factor of the EM5 -- nice and compact and feels more similar to a film camera than most digitals manage. I'm not too enamored of the menu system on this camera, though. I think I'd ideally like the body and image quality of the EM5 but with Panasonic's menus. I'd rented a GH3 the other week, and while the body is much larger and more cumbersome, that camera has both a lot more dedicated controls and a superior/more intuitive menu system.

Olympus Viewer 2/3 stitches the ORFs together, but always processes the final image with "Vivid" picture mode, Gradation=Normal, Sat/Sharp=0, etc...

I have to admit, stitching images with Viewer and the Pano SCN is MUCH easier than using Hugin. But you're stuck with the Pano SCN image presets.

To do the attached Panorama, I used Olympus Viewer to correct distortion with the lens profile. Then I used LR5beta for post processing. Then I used Hugin to stitch.

I was really hoping to use Olympus Viewer for a one stop shop pano processor....

I have two E-M5s. My older one is the one I upgraded (and it still says camera body 1.6), while the newer one I have has not been upgraded beyond version 1.5 and shows that in the firmware rev. I was going to upgrade the new er one to 1.6, but I sure can't find it now!

Am I nuts? Or what is going on? ]]> Olympus Cameras slothead http://www.mu-43.com/f42/firmware-update-wierd-47798/ Newbie question - E-PM1 sharpness in live view vs. final pic http://www.mu-43.com/f42/newbie-question-e-pm1-sharpness-live-view-vs-final-pic-47789/ Thu, 13 Jun 2013 20:54:41 GMT Hello guys, my first post - I'm pretty new to the world of µ4/3 cameras, and actually to the world of (more serious) photography. I've purchased an E-PM1 and have been using it for some weeks with adapted legacy lenses exclusively - a Hexanon 50mm F1.7, a Vivitar 28mm F2.5, and one of those cheapo Fujian 35mm F1.7 CCTV lenses. So far, I love the results, the colors, the feeling of the tiny camera with that ridiculous amount of glass in front, and am over-applying shallow-depth-of-field effects on pretty much every photo, just as you would expect from a newcomer. However, whenever I try to take some more sharpness/detail-oriented picture, I am somewhat disappointed.

I guess it would be quite helpful to hear from some experienced people about this, since the problem is one of expectation: When I set the focus on my lens using the magnifying (x14) function, the live picture on screen looks A LOT sharper than applying magnification to the same area on the pic I actually take. This is particularly obvious when photographing text.

I've been playing around with the camera all afternoon and I get the same results using a tripod, holding it in my hand, using 2 seconds delay for the photo to get rid of all shutter shake, using IS on/off, noise reduction on/off, noise filter off/low/standard, taking under/overexposed pics, using ISO 200-800, using shutter times between 1/40s and 1/2000s, and so on. The picture detail always looks blurry compared to the preview, which is of course slightly frustrating - as if it was saying "this is what you could get from the lens, but the camera won't allow that to happen".

Is this normal and to be expected, can it be helped by using correct settings/perfect exposure, or is this completely out of the ordinary and indicates a broken camera?

Thanks for your help!

I'm not into reinventing the wheel, so got ideas from others and took it from there. I've included sources so you can see who the smart folks are who came up with the original approaches. This is geared to the E-M5, but it will work for any camera. All you have to do is put the right connector on the end of the supply so it mates with your device.

The basic approach comes from this link where the DIY project results in an AC adapter. Basically, you make a mock battery that you insert into the camera. You have to leave the battery compartment open, but for tripod shooting, that should be a minor issue. I do astrophotography/star trail shooting so need power out in the field which why I made the supply.
The linked page is in Polish, but Google translate will fix that for you. See bottom of the link page for You Tube video of device in action.
Radom na fotografii - Zasilacz sieciowy do aparatu Olympus OM-D EM-5

I don't really need an AC adapter at the moment, but do need a long term battery source for doing my star trails and other astrophotography shots. So instead of an AC adapter, I made a variable regulated power supply that provides the right output voltage (8-8.5V for the E-M5) when plugged into a 12V power source.

I initially made the power supply for my Pentax DSLR that coincidentally has the same input power requirement so all I had to do was replace the Pentax jack with an Oly "battery". I bought a cheap $10 BLN-1 battery, removed the cells and wired the power supply to the correct terminals. Now I can just plug the power supply "battery" into my E-M5 and power it all night long if I want to while out in the field.

The following link is to a file that originated as a blog post that shows how to make the power supply. It's for the Pentax K-5, but as I said, just replace the Pentax jack with an Oly "battery" and you'll be good to go. The blog seems to have died, so I PDFd my copy of the project and posted it here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...r%20Supply.pdf
Here's a link to a source for the regulated power supply:
3A Adjustable step down switching voltage regulator

For the camera power supply, I used a small project box from Radio Shack. However, I used the power supply plans to make a unit for one of my telescope mounts. For that, I just housed the power supply in a piece of 1" PVC pipe with rounded end caps. I drilled through the end caps to pass the wires through each end, strain relieved the wires inside and out with mini-cable ties, and used silicone aquarium sealant to seal the holes. The casing is only about 6" long and is quite water resistant. I wouldn't leave it out in the rain, but the end caps are tight enough that I have no worry with it lying in dewy grass.

One final mod I am going to make is to make the Oly "battery" portion of the camera power supply detachable as the plans advise (I made it last night and didn't have a plug/jack set on hand). Besides providing protection from the cord being stepped on/yanked while in the camera, it will allow me to make an AC power supply in the future (if I decide I need one) without having to make another "battery".

Hope this is useful to folks. ]]> Olympus Cameras atnbirdie http://www.mu-43.com/f42/power-supply-e-m5-other-cameras-diy-47723/ Question about E-PM1 / E-PL3 Art Filter mode variations http://www.mu-43.com/f42/question-about-e-pm1-e-pl3-art-filter-mode-variations-47705/ Wed, 12 Jun 2013 11:42:15 GMT I own the E-PM1 and enjoy using the different Art Filters on a regular basis, especially in their bracketing mode that reduces the need for artsy-fartsy post-processing on the computer :) As I understand in the E-PL3 you can adjust (some of) the Art Filters, with at least two (strength) settings available?

With the sales going on, I want the 60/2.8 as I love macro and I also know I want the 40-150 as it's a great general lens for a great price (on sale).
Other possiblities:
If OM-D: for wide- I love the idea of the 9-18 M. Zuiko (Could I manage with the 12-50, 60, 40-150 without the 9-18?- on sale but adds much to price) cost w/out= $1699.00 and with = $2298.00

If P5: for price point it'd be the 14-42 for a walk around. (Could I manage with the 17, 60, 40-150 without the 14-42?- as a setup would that work? cost w/out=$1999.95, and with = $2298.95.
So for either set up, I'd be purchasing an add'l lens either the 9-18 w the OM-D or the 14-42 ii with the P5, if needed. I understand the advantages of the newer camera, and the 17 1.8 looks like its a great little lens, as the OM-D is also great in review and highly recommended.

This is clearly ludicrous, but much like the pricing of the BCL15 body-cap lens, it's somehow standard behaviour for Olympus products.

Untitled by bhupinder2002, on Flickr ]]> Olympus Cameras Bhupinder2002 http://www.mu-43.com/f42/famous-olympus-ooc-jpeg-colors-47421/ EM5 focus point. http://www.mu-43.com/f42/em5-focus-point-47420/ Fri, 07 Jun 2013 02:57:21 GMT I have figured out to use the fn1 button to reduce the size of the focus point. I am constantly moving the focus box out of center and take pics. The box consistently is located out of center on the LCD and in eye viewer. When I review the pictures later in aperture and it shows focus point. Focus point is always in center.

If I don't reduce the focus box and move box off center it shows off center in aperture.

Ideas?

Thanks for your help.
