I have owned a Canon 400mm.  It is a nice and sharp lens,  but don't forget it is not stabilized:  not really a problem for BIF but not  a good choice for other types of photography.  Also, you ...

Same here also !  Are they after us ?

Please bear in mind that I am not a pixel peeper... I find that the performance of my 100-400mm is about the same at all zoom levels and I use it regularly at apertures between f/4 and f/8, at ...

Nice thread ! Here is my opinion. IMO, there are 4 factors to consider regarding BIF photography: (1) The photographer (2) The bird (3) The equipement (4) The settings

Interesting post  and very nice photos Trevor. Using the E-M1 Mk II and PL 100-400mm, my BIF settings are: C-AF Mode M 1/1600 s. f/8.0 Auto ISO Silent shutter Multi Frame LOW 9 fps S-IS1 AF Area ...

I hate the hood system on this lens.  IMO, the main purpose of a hood is protection and the small sliding hood offers none.  I find that the larger detachable hood offers adequate protection but I ...

I have both and I prefer the 12-100mm. Image quality is similar but I sometimes miss the faster f/2.8. I find that the 12-40mm falls short on the zoom size.  When birding, I carry the 12-100mm on ...

Right on !  My settings for birds, using SS, are on C2 and I have to change the shutter setting each time I want to use the flash in HS mode.

Thank you all for your helpful comments.  Much appreciated !

I have a Metz 52 AF-1 that I use with a E-M1 Mk II.    When using Silent Shutter mode, it is impossible to use the flash in TTL-FP high speed mode.  Is there a way to fix this problem ?  Is the ...

Great Photos Carlos !

A bridge camera is a good tool to learn about wildlife photography and to see if you like it.  However, there are better tools to do the job. A bridge camera is a compromise in features and image ...

Thanks Bill.  I use 2 lenses, the Oly 12-40mm and the P/L 100-400mm. I think I have found my problem.  in menu A2 - Set Home, all options need to be checked and defined.   I set the AF Mode (Option ...

Thanks Bill.   Not to having any AF mode checked in A1 AF Target mode allows Set Home to work.  Unfortunately,  it is then impossible to use the "AF Area Select" function  assigned to Fn1. There ...

I am unable to get the "Set Home" function to work properly when assigned to a Fn button on my E-M1 Mk II. I have tried assigning the "Set Home" function to Fn2 so that it brings the selected AF ...

For BIF, I miss more photos because the bird is too dark than because it is out of focus.  I use an E-M1 and a 100-400mm. I find that most BIF come in as a surprise and the camera must be ready ...

Very nice photos.  Congradulations. They are quite common in Quebec where I live.  Here is one with 2 heads...

Thanks for the tip.  It did indeed fix my problem.  It would be nice if Olympus supplied the last version when uploading software from their site...

The Oly Updater Sw does not seem to work with the E-M1 Mk II, at least with mine.  The updater says that many cameras are connected...  It works fine with the E-M1 Mk 1 and the update went well. ...
