I took around 2500 shots last week of flying birds from 11am in good light to 4:30 pm in woodland low light with a couple of breaks. Mainly 5 shot low sequential but some 10 shot SH2. All ...

No it has to be turned on and off in the menu or a linked button.  It’s not always on.

Great images. Love Bempton. Can I ask you three questions? I assume you used bird AF? was your shutter set to release or focus? Was your detail/drive priority set to detail or drive? Thanks in ...

Brilliant shot. well done!

That’s what I bought. It works fine, just slower than the usbc charger.

Thank you. I’ve not firmly decided on one yet, but if I did I needed to know how to update it. I’ll get in touch by pm if I need it. Thanks again.

Thanks for the warning. Also second person to advise getting a cheap Panasonic.

Interesting alternative. Thanks.

It is a complex camera with great customisabiilty and I have got into a similar problem when I had set C1 my birds in flight mode to a button which I then accessed when in manual mode after I had ...

Thanks. I didn't expect to see this on an OM website. So I just do a normal update and it will offer the lens update as if it was an Olympus lens?

I'm thinking of adding a PL100-400 lens to my 300 f4 Pro OM1 kit. How can I check the firmware and update it without a panasonic M43 camera??

I really like it too. It's quicker and more accurate than it was on my EM1m3. As a result it's just fun to use.

Nice variety and some excellent images. Thanks for sharing.

Good test. I wonder if some PL Q100-400's are sharper. Nice to see the minimal on the 300f4 pro plus tc.

Well I think I’ll have a go mounting the 500 Pf on the Olympus, manually focus and see if it is getting similar artefacts?

Right I’ll check out my V3 with the 18 mpx sensor.

Well I certainly do so you are right there, but to make a difference OM would need to use all 80megapixels of their sensor in a quad Bayer design and everyone would complain about the noise. you’ve ...

I agree and I think fresnel optics is the way to go. I have two of them in Nikon, the 300 and 500 PF. The 500 is right at the limit of what I can hold all day on a D500 but has sublime sharpness ...

You make a good point here and indeed 7-8 years ago I used a Nikon D810 exactly for the reasons you have given. But the file sizes made processing a real chore, so mostly I used the crop frame and ...

Hi Trevor, For handheld focus stacking, Rob Trek is correct. For focus bracketing Chris McGinnis is correct. The Om1 and a good lens like the 300 f4 or your PL 100-400 produces great stacks at ...
