You mean other than the manual.

Wow, that's quite a sensor! Stacked. Backside Illumination. 120 fps. I wonder why the intended application is surveillance?

Thank you. I have never found myself using the MC-14 very much. Even though it only drops one stop of light, I have never felt that I got much for it. The MC-20 on the other hand, seems like a ...

Always shooting raw, I've never looked into any the effects built into the camera. With wildlife, there is usually not time to experiment.

I have found the MC-20 to be a more useful tool that I expected. It is a great joy to not have to crop to get the subject to fill the frame. I didn't expect that it would be useful for birds in ...

Just one more. This one is from 785 feet (239m). The subject was a good C-AF target and was not moving too quickly. This is a crop. Noise under wings shows how very good light is going to be needed ...

I've had my MC-20 for a few days now and I am starting to get to grips with it. I wasn't under any illusions that this lens might be quite hard to use and would take a bit of getting used to and ...

I'm not sure what you are doing wrong or what has changed but mine still worked as before after the firmware upgrade.

Perhaps they might just mean a change to jpeg noise reduction at higher Iso's?

I could be wrong but I thought it was the lens that needed the firmware update for the MC-20 and not the camera.

I've just ordered one... :-)

Interesting observations. Thanks for the feedback. Do you think there is a noticeable loss of contrast vs the lens alone? If so, how much of a problem is that?

The Sony 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3, which is a bigger lens albeit without the built-in TC, cost about £1,800. I expect the Olympus to be way more expensive than this but, if it is, I don't expect them ...

Thanks for the report Chris. I am off to the levels today for a first serious go at birding with the new firmware so I will be interested to see how it performs. I have previously stopped using the ...

Be sure to let us know how you got on.

I have switched off both of these settings when using C-AF which is usually for bif. This is not what I expected to do when I read about the feature in the E-M1X. I switch off centre start because ...

Outstanding! Well done.

That one's a dark green fritillary.

I'm also now experimenting with both C-AF Centre Start and C-AF Centre Priority Off . I had thought that Centre Prioirty On might improve my bif but I am now wondering if it actually causes the AF ...
