Concentrate on composition. The P mode would not be on your camera if it was not meant to be used. JPEG + RAW is always a good idea now that storage is so cheap.

M.Zuiko lenses to avoid if owning a Pen-F: (1) M.Zuiko Digital 100-400mm, no sync IS support (2) M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5, ???

For trips like that my wife takes the Oly 17 and 45 and I usually take the Oly 9-18. Imho Spain is quite safe. Statistics say it's safer than Germany and I have never been robbed in Germany. My ...

The raw file contains the information as close as to the output of the a/d converters of the sensor you can get. Depending on the colour depth the numeric representation of a specific colour ...

There are two types of compression, lossy and lossless compression. Lossy compression introduces compression artifacts to the image. If you edit a lossy compressed image and save the edited image ...

Honestly, I think you should ask the camera conspiracies guy:

The truth is a lemon meringue.

Linux. Most development stuff I do has better tools support in a Unix environment.  I don't feel at home with Mac and Windows comes with seamless Linux support (WSL2). Other than that I tend to ...

Enough muscle power and they will get there ... at a price

I use a black Oly 25 f1.8 with my black Pen-F. I like matchy-matchy.

Or you simply get one of the micro four looser thirds toneh monsters which I consider "still affordable" compared to the full-frame counterparts: Really ugly background hidden through clever use of ...

Do you use in Workspace for the conversion? If I am not using natural or color profile 1 (Pen-F custom), in bright sunshine I use i-Enhance. But I shoot JPG + RAW so it doesn't necessarily mean ...

Oly 75 f1.8... rarely used, but when I use it, I need it, and no other of my lenses will do the job.

I have been using the Oly 75-300mm for birding and wildlife quite a while now and on sunny days it delivers great images. At the beginning I had quite a learning curve to hold the camera steady, ...

I used to buy RX100 VII type cameras, however now mobile phones are good enough to replace that kind of camera. It's hard to beat the advantage of not having to carry a second device. I had a GM1 ...

Not untrue but inaccurate. It's a "it depends" type of thing. E.g. I doubt I can get any decent picture out of an unstabilized full frame camera.

I would like to buy some of the patience and skill you have ;-)
