You have already received interesting and useful suggestions which should help you a lot. I would like to add this. In order to improve focus accuracy, I use f/8.0 to increase DOF. I set the camera ...

I switched from Canon to Oly mainly because of size and weight.  No way I am going to buy this beast...

I use this charger for my E-M1 Mk II but there are models for many types of batteries.. It is powered by a 5V source and converts internally to the required charging voltage. It works great. Input: ...

I have used a 400mm Canon with the Metabones adapter and an E-M1 Mk II and I was having the same problems.  A friend was using the same setup and had no problem at all.  Focusing was extremely ...

I also worried for a while but, looking at alternatives, I quickly stopped worrying... I'm into birding and nature photography and I found ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that can replace my P/L 100-400mm: (1) 200- ...

I also have a Panasonic 100-300mm and it has a hood I like a lot.  Is is simply a cheap plastic bayonet hood.  It fits backwards for storage and can be replaced for a few dollars if you damage it ...

The screw on the detachable hood is now stripped.  Can't use the hood anymore...  Horrible design !

I have the 100-400mm and I hate that hood.  It replaced a 100-300mm that had a much simpler bayonet plastic hood.

We often read that M43 is not up to par.  I beg to differ. This photo was taken hand held in very poor light in dense bush but against a very bright BG.  I tried it anyway and here is the result.  ...

Hi Carlos, I have used 1.5X tele-negatives made from zoom lens elements and a 2X ED Barlow with good success.  I even used both at the same time... Of course, the more you add the less resolution ...

Well done !  Wonderful photos. I have used a Skywatcher 600mm for a long time to photograph birds.  Can't use it anymore because my eyes don't allow me any more to focus accurately.  I have tried ...

I did the same with the E-M1 Mk I that I use as a spare. No harm done except it can't be changed.  I used Crazy Glue and it doesn't show.

It seems to me that the source problem is not focus but haze. Haze makes accurate focusing impossible. Atmospheric haze ? Smoke ? Dirty lens ? Fog on lens or sensor ? I use an E-M1 Mk II and a ...

I use a home made harness similar to the popular binocular harnesses we see everywhere, except that it is not made with elastic material.  Using it, I can carry my E-M1 MK II and 100-400mm for ...

Using the E-M1 Mk II, the LCD won't stay on when I try to review photos in the LCD. I press the Playback button (lower right on the camera back) and, most of the time, the image appears momentarily ...

Thanks for your answer.  Much appreciated.

Thank you all. I have been using the Camera IS so far with good results. I guess I will keep it that way. One more question:  If you set both to ON, which one will be used ?

It is impossible to use both at the same time so which one do you use ?

The brightness adjustement works but has little effect.  Certainly not 7 stops when set to maximum.  I would estimate it at 1 or 2 stops at the most. Is there another adjustment in the menus that ...

Thanks a lot Vahur !  You made my day.  I was expecting to see the scales in the LDC and never looked in the EVF....  So easy !!!!
