Shooting bullets with Olympus

All this talk about shooting airplanes with Intelligent ISO or setting a minimum shutter speed got me nearly all downhearted, as alas, I fear my Olympus OMD 5 II cannot set the minimum shutter speed in Program nor aperture, unless I explore the complexicated X synch flash menus, perhaps, and whilst I know my LX3 has intelligent ISO, I fear my Olympus may never get that noble feature.

I may not be able to catch a picture, of a bullet caught in flight.

Model 41

But using the camera I have, I did get the flash of the report. Maybe if I set the highest limit to the shutter speed there is on the camera in shutter priority, and use the camera in the highest burst speed, I'll catch that bullet as it leaves the barrel of my friend's Model 41, with unintelligent ISO with no minimum shutter speed.

And I have an Olympus 45mm f1.7 lens, and a Panasonic 25mm f1.7 lens, as well.  It would be good to have a larger aperture, which would allow me a higher shutter speed, and the camera would just set the ISO all by itself.

I'll have to make another journey out to the range, to see.

Any excuse to spend some time at the range with a friend, is a good one, indeed.

I might even get ahead of Guy Parsons, you never know.
