Digital Dick

I have six Olympus batteries for my E-M5 Mark I and II cameras. The third oldest (about  3 yrs old) started swelling in my camera. It wasn't the oldest or the most used of the six. Sometimes it ...

They get all the new equipment before the general release and on loan from Olympus. They eventually have to return the loaned equipment. Most then buy what they like. Dick

With my E-M5 I and E-M5 II cameras, my live histogram matchs the review histogram (in camera) very closely. (Both are histograms for the displayed jpeg) when I'm in WYSIWG. Dick

Good comparisons but could you also take a few comparison shots with both on a tripod for the scientists (versus artists) out here. Dick

I have the Mark I version. Image quality is virtually the same as the Mark II. The Mark I version is not waterproof (I think the Mark II is?). The Mark I suffers a bit from the lens zooming itself ...

I teach a photo class at one of the local town parks. Over the past five years I went from being the only Olympus user to now having about twenty students using Olympus. My local camera club ...

I curious what he found wrong with your 350mm f2.8?  I had mine fly off my tripod when I slung it over my shoulder and drop to the pavement. The camera it was attached to was destroyed but lens ...

I think this was an issue with only the first batches of the lens. All the ones I've played with since the one from the original batch haven't had this problem. So I'm guessing that Olympus ...

My tripod suggestion is just to test is the camera is operating properly (by removing any human error). I appreciate that in actual use conditions, most of us would be hand holding. Dick

Do you have the Release Priority for Continuous AF set to ON? If so that can cause the camera to take more frames per second but also more before the images are really in focus. Also have you tried ...

I also use S-AF (with Manual Touch Up) with the smallest single box on my E-M5 I and II. So mostly focus and recompose. For a squirrel or bird jumping around on a tree limb I might switch to C-AF ...

Perhaps the sale of compact Ford's are down in the USA because fat Americans need a big SUV or truck to carry their full frame cameras. However, even as a fat American, I can squeeze me and my two ...

I think the focus stacking feature only works with the Pro lenses (at least that's the case on my 5 Mark II). Not sure about the Pro capture feature with non-Pro lenses? Dick

I only reverse the hood on the 75-300 lens. On all the other lenses I have the hoods on all the time (caps also). I stopped using protection filters years ago. Dick

You could check in the online user's manual for the camera and see if it's available in the Custom Menu A setting as: AF illuminater:  On/Off Dick

I keep front and back caps on all lens (hoods also). Dick

I carry the 25 1.8 and my old OM 50 1.8 and my old OM 90 f2 macro in addition to the 14-150 and the 75-300 zooms. Each has it's own hood and caps and all are very different in size and weight so I ...

Don't have the camera so I don't know for sure. However, you can disable it on all of the other Olympus cameras I have played with. Dick

Yes in Shooting Menu 2 turn the RC mode to Off. Dick

"I'm not actually sure you can then go to the Develop Settings and clear them later on for that image (I'll have to check that when I get a chance)?" I did check and yes you can right click on any ...
