...and another thing!

In reply to OvinceZ, 5 months ago

I usually shoot in A mode. The OMD changes the aperture which is annoying. It's as if the camera has a mind of its own. I fully accept that I must be doing something wrong but my experience with this camera is one of continual frustration and disappointment. It doesn't do what I want it to do. And it changes settings at will for no reason that I can figure out.

The flash is inadequate, too. Not enough power for birthday party group photos.
