    Geotagging with the G80/G85

    Re-doing that road trip again a year later and finally putting a theory I've had into practice: I drove some 541km today and shot 123 photos. Transferred geolocation data to the camera from my phone at the end of the day (not iPhone 6 anymore, but an iPhone X, although I doubt that affects the...

    Third party charger for Panasonic BLC12E batteries?

    I've been sticking to OEM BLC12E batteries for my Panasonic G80, but I would very much like to get a charger I can use in my car, since I'm going on a long road trip this summer. I've found some USB powered chargers with three different brand names, but pretty much similar looking. The brands...

    Powerful TTL flash

    So… seems like the TT685 doesn't feel like shining that AF assist illumination, is there any good alternative that does? Considering price, power and features, I'm thinking I'd just continue to live without AF assist illumination from the flash…

    Powerful TTL flash

    Now that I've been digging more into this, the availability of the X1T is really a strike for the Godox. It'd mean being able to set flash power from the camera when I do portraiture with studio lighting, which would be extra handy if I ever get a softbox. I'd probably just get a single flash...

    Powerful TTL flash

    I'm looking at the Godox TT685 now. From what I had understood it does work with the Oly/Panasonic wireless system, but it's not really a big loss if it doesn't, especially since Godox has it's own RF system. What about AF assist, does that work? And thanks, @Clint and @genesimmons for your...

    Powerful TTL flash

    Thanks, Repp, for your extensive and informative answer. I realize that I should have included more information in my OP, especially with regards to how much I'm willing to spend. I mentioned the Metz 52 because they seem like a respectable brand and that model seems to hit a certain sweet spot...

    Powerful TTL flash

    So, I have an FL-36 flash and an old Nikon SB-26. Whenever I pack my bag, I'll be thinking will I need HSS (I probably won't) or do I need power (I will)? I'd like a flash that supersedes both of those flashes, even if it comes at the cost of size and weight. So, what flash is the best buy if I...

    Geotagging with the G80/G85

    I've had some suggestions on a different forum, but haven't had a chance to try them out. Going on a day long road trip tomorrow, so collecting location data won't kill my phone and I can try and see if it works better this time around.

    Geotagging with the G80/G85

    When you say sync you mean send the data to the camera ("Batch send") and not "Time sync", right? Because that's what I do. But is connecting to the camera before gathering data a necessity? Because according to page 259 of the Operating Instructions for advanced features, that is not required...

    Geotagging with the G80/G85

    Unless I've misunderstood the Panasonic user manual, the Panasonic app doesn't work that way either.

    Geotagging with the G80/G85

    No, all photography done on with G80, whether having my phone gather location data or not, has happened in Sweden with a very brief foray into Finland. I've definitely been in areas with bad cell reception, but seeing how I was also often relying on the Maps app for navigation during my outings...

    Geotagging with the G80/G85

    Very good point and I should really have checked it already. Unfortunately the app already had permission to check locations always.

    Geotagging with the G80/G85

    I'm using an iPhone 6 with iOS 10.3.2. If I can't sort out doing this via the app, or if it proves more convenient, I could definitely imagine using a third party app and a script on my Mac if there are any good solutions like that. I'll look into contacting Panasonic, but maybe I'll try...

    Geotagging with the G80/G85

    I've been having problems with the geotagging feature of my G80. I noticed that the geotagging was often incorrect and many photos that shouldn't be were bunched up into a single place back when I shot 1200 photos on a week long, 2700km road trip. I checked the manual today, couldn't see that I...

    G80/G85 exposure preview and iISO?

    Is that from the manual? I had searched for this, but apparently "intelligent" would have been a better search word than iISO. (ISO was obviously less than useful.)

    G80/G85 exposure preview and iISO?

    You are correct and I was being confused! Applying exposure compensation while in A mode (any of the AE modes I guess, but I used aperture priority) will have results on the viewfinder image. My methodology for figuring this out was flawed. What was confusing me was that this doesn't happen in...

    G80/G85 exposure preview and iISO?

    I've only managed one outing with my G80 so far, but I've dedicated quite some time to learn its ins and outs and how to set it up so that it suits me. Is there no way to set the EVF and rear display to offer a constant preview of the exposure you can expect with the current exposure settings...

    Thinking about maybe getting the G80/G85

    Thank you. What I'm not enjoying is watching the battery charge for the first time right now! :D

    Also, thanks all for your insights and opinions. You did help nudging me over to buying that G80.

    Thinking about maybe getting the G80/G85

    What you say about the GX80/85 is interesting. They're being sold at a very attractive price right now, but I discounted them on the basis of never having liked any of the field sequential EVFs that I ever tried. In fact, being unsure of being able to live with one was the reason that I didn't...

    Thinking about maybe getting the G80/G85

    I'm very curious to see how it will be compared to the E-M5. Hoping, probably in vain, that it'll arrive before the weekend, since I have a road trip coming up in two and a half weeks and I want to get familiarised with the new toy.

    Thinking about maybe getting the G80/G85

    Well, I gave up and I just ordered a G80. It's always seemed like a very well rounded camera and my nitpicking over it was easily overcome by the excellent price, timing and some nasty GAS :)

    Thinking about maybe getting the G80/G85

    Thank you, that's a very good summary. I'm way too nervous about the shutter shock with regards to the GX8, although I realise that it is considered by many to be a non-issue. Having had the issue with my E-M5 makes me hard pressed to get the GX8 if I can't be certain that I'll be free from the...

    Thinking about maybe getting the G80/G85

    Warning, this might get convoluted, but I'd really appreciate some insight. So, I have an Olympus E-M5, which I'm very happy with, but there's a couple of niggles. One is that the lens I use almost all the time is the Panasonic 20mm (first version, I assume that doesn't have any bearing in this...

    Backpack with enough space for EM5 mark 2 and lenses with space for clothing

    I'm very pleased to hear that you like the Peak Design Everyday Backpack. For what it's worth, I very briefly owned a Lowepro Fastpack Video 250 and I thought it was a very decent backpack (as I've come to expect from Lowepro), but very much made for a DSLR, so my E-M5 and primes would just...

    Lens choices - advice would be useful

    Oh, also, have you checked out the Olympus 40-150mm (non-PRO)? It's one of the cheaper telezoom options, very light, pretty compact and I was pleasantly surprised by the image quality from 40mm to around 100mm. My copy is rather sorry as you approach the long end, but what I can gather from...

    Backpack with enough space for EM5 mark 2 and lenses with space for clothing

    Which is why I try to clarify for what I use bags that I recommend, so that who I'm recommending the bag to can get an idea for whether my recommendation is relevant to their needs :) The Peak Design Everyday Backpacks have a level of adjustability as to the size of the part that's nominally...

    Backpack with enough space for EM5 mark 2 and lenses with space for clothing

    I recently got a Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L, which I'm extremely pleased with. I much prefer a backpack that is intended for both camera gear and the personal items one might need while using said camera gear, but I've had a hard time finding such a bag that suits my exact needs. That I...

    Anyone use the aftermarket Olympus BLN-1 Batteries for OMD-EM5?

    I hope it's okay that I latch onto this thread, since a couple of posters mention using Ex-Pro replacement batteries. I've been using DSTE batteries with my E-M5 since 2012 with acceptable results (at least considering the price), but I'm having a hard time finding them to buy now. I've looked...
