    OM1 - focus issues in S-AF

    I am one who sent it back and have my OM1 replaced. Still have the extended warranty as well. I have not done much low light shooting since but just by testing in the same environment, the replaced one does much much better job than the previous one for sure. Also updated the firmware to 1.2...

    Weird. I had no problem updating with SD cards inserted and windows 11.

    OM1 - focus issues in S-AF

    Finally got my OM-1 back from repair after a month. They just replaced it instead of fixing the previous one. Maybe because it's still within the 30 days warranty? I've reloaded my settings to the new one to make sure it's not a setting issue and tested under fluorescent, LED, natural and dim...

    OM1 - focus issues in S-AF

    I also sent my OM-1 back two weeks ago to check on the issue. OM created a work order and change the status to In Repair. Hopefully they find nothing wrong with the hardware and just the matter of firmware update.

    Pen F evf

    Alternatively, you can turn EVF Auto Switch off and see if you like it. (Setting page J) When LCD fully closed (screen facing camera, you see the black LCD back) you operate camera through EVF. When open the LCD, image will switch to LCD. If you want to use EVF while LCD is flipped out, press...

    E-M1 mark III, can we take stills while shooting video?

    If you were shooting 4K (not C4K), you should be able to capture stills when playback the movie, just go OK->Movie Edit-> In-Movie Image Caputre. At least that's how it works in my EM1.2

    OM-1 C-AF and subject detection: frequent misfocus?

    Mine seemed to be s-af only. I don’t take bird picture often and nor have super tele lens but from my 40-150 pro most of the pictures I got using c-af looked to be sharp, or just because I wasn’t pixel peeping. Already sent my back to OM, hopefully to get some reply soon but I don’t expect it...

    OM1 - focus issues in S-AF

    The new OM1 has about 9X more focus point compare to EM1.2~ EM1.3. So the now small target 3x3 should be comparable to the old single point. Which is still slower and inaccurate.

    OM-1 Jpegs slower to preview in windows?

    After being transfer to PC you mean? No, I haven’t found an issue like that.
  12. MorganW

    New OM-1 owners, what has impressed you the most.

    If you upgrade from EM1.2 like me, it’s a big improvement in c-af especially paired with subject recognition. I don’t shoot bird often but I do take my OM1 and dog to dog parks. It’s very effective, almost fool proof, just raise the camera and shoot with the composition you like and the keeper...

    OM1 - focus issues in S-AF

    The latest reply from OM that I should send my OM-1 in for more evaluation. They couldn’t open the google drive link with sample photos I sent to them because of security policy but suggest I should send it back for peace of mind. I was debating if I should send it back or simply wait to see...

    OM1 - focus issues in S-AF

    OM has got back to me but I am not sure if they fully understand, or simply because they are not seeing the same issue with their copies First I sent them the video about how slow and inaccurate OM1 is, compare to EM1.2, doesn’t matter it’s single point or small 3x3 target. This is their reply...

    OM1 - focus issues in S-AF

    I have already contacted OM's technician, with the video when the issue happens. From his words, it looks way off on OM1 and asked me to send my settings of both EM1.2 and OM1 to him. Waiting for reply.

    My OM-1 s-af issue vs. em1mkii

    I have set my EVF fresh rate to low as setting it to high would sometimes get black image when shooting my LED TV when I tested on EM1.2 (not that I shoot TV often but just don’t see the point set it to high for my need) And for target point, I found the speed goes faster as target area gets...

    My OM-1 s-af issue vs. em1mkii

    Agree with you. s-AF used to be the most reliable method for my use. I don't own many Olympus but at least in PenF and EM1.2, speed aside, they are always spot on and never gave me false comformation. Do feel it's crucial since our eyes are degradding and rely more on the "beep" or solid green...

    Second body suggestions to an OM-1

    I'd sell the EM1X. For BIF you have the OM-1 and EM1.2 for landscape. But if I were you, I'd sell both for the lenses if you don't mind no backup camera or lens swapping. If not because I like to shoot night sky/astrophography, I'd have sold my em1.2 already. For astrophotography, I found...

    My OM-1 s-af issue vs. em1mkii

    Watched your videos and for the switching power on/off part, I am wondering what's your Reset Lens setting? (AF page 6) I have mine to off. If you have yours set to on, when power off then on the focus length goes infinity by default and might be the reason it gets focus easier? Feel like for...

    My OM-1 s-af issue vs. em1mkii

    ? Mine is off for s-af and on for c-af, as intended. Pretty positive part of the issue was from anti flicker. With it set to auto, I can still focus in very dim light (2.5 - 6 sec shutter), it's slow to focus in dark but at least no false confirmation.

    My OM-1 s-af issue vs. em1mkii

    Found this thread here at mu-43 and I think that might be it? https://www.mu-43.com/threads/flicker-reduction-affects-s-af.111353/ So in Gear icon tab page3, change Anti-Flicker-LV to Auto improved the af performance by a lot. In few situations it would still hunt but at least no false focus...

    My OM-1 s-af issue vs. em1mkii

    That's what I thought initially, but from dpreview forum, looks like at least for EM1.2, PDAF is in use with non-native m43 lens and since firmware 3.0 all lenses are supported with both PDAF and CDAF in s-af https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4581189

    My OM-1 s-af issue vs. em1mkii

    Can this because Night Vision is ON in Live View settings? I have mine turned OFF. Just tried with different light combination - No ceiling light (LED) + window blinds roll up then down Ceiling light ON + window blinds down then down So natural light then with artificial light. OM-1 still...

    My OM-1 s-af issue vs. em1mkii

    I know it's not an optimal environment to focus but it's not really low light either, pretty common for indoor. And there are texts on the cardboard as well so it's not really "no contrast". I have shoot in way worse environment with PenF and EM1.2 but never had the focus this bad :( I think...

    OM1 - focus issues in S-AF

    I am just puzzling why OM1's s-af would be much slower in low light than my EM1MKII, not just slow but sometimes inaccurate, if they claimed low light focus has been improved to -8EV. I am suspecting if PDAF is in use at all in s-af for native m43 lens, to get the general direction first then...

    OM1 - focus issues in S-AF

    Sorry to hear your issue with new camera. Mine is definitely not as bad as yours but I do feel it has issue with s-af on single point or small (3x3) target. I was comparing mine with em1mk2 side by side, in a bit low light and lack of contrast/detail subject, om1 does way more hunting and...

    There is no need to argue... I have colleagues using MKIV, D850, XT-2... some of them did look at me weirdly when they saw my PenF. But all I know is I am the only one still bring my camera with me everyday. :)

    Lens that you do not use much but still own?

    17mm and 45mm f1.8, followed by 7-14mm pro. Those two prime lenses are both great for the bucks but since I ditched my shoulder bag and went with backpack I don’t use them much. With more room in a backpack I now go with 12-40 and 40-150+MC14. Think I enjoy the convenience from zoom lenses more...
