Olympus PEN E-PM1

Hi, I own an Olympus E-PM1 (Pen Mini) and I do not intend on investing on a DSLR just yet but I have been eyeing the Samyang 85 mm f/1.4 Aspherical lens for a while. I know it is possible to use the lens with my camera, which has a Micro Four Thirds mount, but I would like to know if that is a good idea. Please let me know! Cheers, J.

Hi,I just purchased an E-PM1 with the LM-1 clip-on flash. I consider buying the FL-300R as an additional flash to be used via Olympus wireless flash protocol.I am reading conflicting information about whether or not the LM-1 unit can still function as fill flash when used as control flash for the FL-300R:In this youtube review of another Olympus flash unit the guy says that yes you can switch the on-camera flash (in his case the LM-2) on or off as you please, and that it basically functions...

Hi, I'm struggling between these two/three cameras and could do with a little bit of advice for a beginner.I really like the look of the Olympus cameras and from the reviews and sample images I have seen the image quality is generally excellent. I also understand there is a wider variety of lenses.The only thing that makes me consider the Sony is essentially the large sensor and low light capabilities.

Does anyone know how to get the 17mm M lense to focus on "infinity" manually on an EPL1 or EPM1?Moderator's edit: moved from Olympus Compact Camera Talk to Micro Four Thirds Talk.

I bought the thingie, and I read that one is supposed to set the camera to ”no lens“ in some obscure menu option.  I can't find that, and wonder if anyone knows how it is supposed to work on an E-PM1.

I have read in this forum and elsewhere, that using IBIS at shutter speeds where it is not necessary (say 1/100 and above) is a bad thing because of problems  in the IBIS on this particular model.I recently bought an OLY-refurbished E-PM1 and it has all the latest firmware.  I cannot find any difference in sharpness between images taken at high shutter speeds with and without IBIS. I used setting one, the auto IBIS setting.Has this problem been corrected by recent firmware from Olympus?  Do...

Hello everyone!!I can honesty say that I am not very tech savvy and I just got an Olympus E-PM1 from my dad as a present. However, I have no idea how to use it. The manual is really short and doesn't exactly touch on all of the basics. For instance, the manual doesn't teach you how to adjust the brightness of the monitor. When I first opened the camera, the screen was just really blurry. Can anyone explain why this happened? I put the battery and memory card into the right slots.Then I...
