    E-M1 mark II Exposure Bracketing

    If you set the E-M1mkII In bracket mode and continuous shooting ( I used the Continuous High) and hold down the shutter button , it will shoot the entire sequence and then stop

    E-M1 mark II Exposure Bracketing

    Yes - I was asking about bracketing re the July 2, 2019 eclipse- I mistakenly posted these here instead of astrophotography, where I have an separate thread going on my eclipse experience

    This one seems to show internal reflections off the sensor and lens - can anyone explain and suggest a way to avoid?

    Eclipse - July 2, 2019 - Bella Vista, Argentina

    I just realized I cross posted my Eclipse photos and comments into a related thread about bracketing- so I decided to copy and post my summary here: It was an amazing experience. I went will a tour that I booked about 2 weeks before the event. Some takeaways Shooting an eclipse is like being...

    E-M1 mark II Exposure Bracketing

    Well - it was an amazing experience I’ll post pictures when I get a chance to sort through them Some take-aways: Know your gear - you have 2 minutes or so to shoot totality- lots of stuff happening - bracketing and changing the base exposure- it’s pretty frantic, especially when dark Focus -...

    E-M1 mark II Exposure Bracketing

    You would think, but in Olympus-speak 0.7 is 2/3 of a stop. So EV step of 0.3 (1/3 stop) allows max range of 7 frames at 2/3 stop change or 5 frames at 1 stop - both a total of 4 EV Also a nuance is that when you set the AE EV step to 0.3, 0.7 or 1.0 you are setting the minimum bracket step...

    E-M1 mark II Exposure Bracketing

    Yes - I was a little unclear but 7x 0.7 (0.66?) is a total of the same range, +-2 EV, as 5x 1.0 EV

    E-M1 mark II Exposure Bracketing

    is it correct that the exposure bracketing limits on the E-M1 mark II are: In AE bracketing- you can set the EV step to 0.3 0.5 or 1.0 At 1 EV step size you can’t use 7 frames and 1 EV step, just 5 frames x 1 EV step - so the max spread is +/- 2 EV ( range of 4 EV) At 0.5 EV, the widest...

    Eclipse Questions

    Yes - I put the cameras and lenses in an REI 60L soft duffel as a carry on bag, clothes and tripod in roller bag, which I checked. They started force-checking roller bags during group 4, so was a great decision.

    Eclipse Questions

    So plans are forming and changing I decided that taking and managing 2 tripods without more automation is not the best idea - also hard to travel with the extra tripod - so going with one I’m going to focus on closeups of the eclipse and not a wide time lapse or composite I discovered a...

    Eclipse Questions

    I've been preparing to photograph an eclipse on July 2. most of the decisions have been made. I want to try to take a composite of the stages of the eclipse people suggest a lot of bracketing of exposures is there a recommended intervalometer ? I can use the OMD E-M1's built in time lapse...

    E-M1.2 HDR and bracketing

    i know with AE bracketing turned on - I can set the EV shift and number of exposures. But then I have to press the shutter for each frame In HDR mode though , I can select 3-5-7 frames and 2-3 EV change from the picklist and then it takes all frames with one burst Is there any way to adjust...

    E-M1mk2 Video help

    what are the preferred settings for video of sports events I tried today at a track meet. Focus seemed hit or miss - I tried S-AF and C-AF, also had stabilization on ( both body and digital) the focus seemed ok/better when my finger was half pressed on the shutter button. I was using 9 focus...

    40-150 2.8 lens hood question

    The hood connect to the front of lens using a sliding ring inside the hood, so once mounted the hood can slide to extend or retract There's a bit of play in the setup when retracted, you can push the back end of the hood and it will move towards the lens body "decentering" the hood temporarily...

    Question - Gray Market Lenses

It's in a kit box (40-150 2.8 with the 1.4 teleconverter removed) came with hood, case and caps and they left in the...

    Question - Gray Market Lenses

    I'm looking at the 40-150 2.8 - the price on the Bay is about $939 vs the "legit" price of $1349, remind me why the price seems so low and why I should buy through a domestic and official distributer ? the price differential is huge

    EM1.2 MF tips

    is there any adapter for zuiko manual focus lenses that behave like m.zuiko pro lenses in manual focus mode? I.e is there any way to mount a manual focus lens suck that when you twist to focus, it magnifies the view and enables focus peaking? And then back to normal view when you stop?

    E-M1.2 Articulated Screen - not closing squarely ?

    This may be true - my intent from the original post was to discover if this was a) noticed by others b) is this the rule for this type of device/engineering or an exception c) is this within tolerances that Olympus sets for the camera

    E-M1.2 Articulated Screen - not closing squarely ?

    for a $2000 camera - I have really high expectations and I think rightly so does it matter ? not really, do I care ? yes. it's like if a picture were hung on the wall askew, wouldn't it bother you? the picture is the same either way

    E-M1.2 Articulated Screen - not closing squarely ?

    When I close my screen (face in to the camera back) you feel a little friction as it snaps in, then I get a sense that it is not squarely set - i.e. the right (non-attached side) seems a little lower than the left side - not hugely perceptible, maybe it's my imagination. Has anyone else noticed...

    E-M1.2 funny lever FN

    Duh, crisis averted I didn't realize that once you start turning one dial, while you have that pick list up (ISO or white balance), the other dial just adopts the pick list shown In order to change from ISO to WB, you have to hit the shutter halfway ( or press OK?) This clears the scream and...

    E-M1.2 funny lever FN

    I was messing with the one touch WB function - so I held the front button down and pointed at a white card, then fired the shutter, all good, the camera went into custom WB mode. Then to turn auto WB on again I went to the quick menu and set WB to auto Now when lever is set to 2, and I'm in...

    OMD EM5 problem with moon

    Here's my latest attempt - haven't done this in a while, actually , almost 2 years I have to say that manually focusing the 75-300 is hard. it's so sensitive to the focus ring. Also note that the magnification is so high that the moon just "vibrates" in the viewfinder. I'd like to focus via...

    Beyond Program

    Rear control dial issue

    EM-1 You Temptress

    The OVF will black out when the mirror flips up obviously, the EVF blacks out when taking the photo. the subtle difference pointed out in the excellent video above, is that there is a lag in the EVF as it re-establishes the image this mirrors my experiences. different lenses also have different...

    Who's getting the 40-150/2.8 and why ?

    I'm getting it because I want to shoot indoor sports and don't want to carry a massive DSLR PDAF on the E-M1 is still not always as quick/accurate as a DSLR, but I think the weight and size advantage is worth the performance difference
