So I've been doing a lot of walking around in the woods lately for mushroom season, and I've been generally carrying the little Oly Pen EPL6, with a panasonic 14-42 pz attached in my rain coat pocket. In the other pocket I've been carrying the Panasonic 25 f/1.7 and the Panasonc 45-150 f4-f5.6 zoom. I'd like to carry these in a bag rather than my pockets though, as it just doesnt leave me that comfy feeling to carry all of this where it can bang into things etc. Looking for a very small sling...

I have a 2 week Europe trip planned for the summer. This will be a typical tourist trip, but once in a lifetime  for us. I typically don’t shoot much wide, but there will be more opportunities on this trip. I have the following and drive a lot for work so I always have most of these in the car. Definitely want to keep it light for the trip.  Need 2 light kits from this . Wife not quite as serious as me about photography. Oly12mm 2.0 Oly17mm 1.8 Oly 25mm 1.8 Oly 45mm 1.8 Oly 75mm 1.8 Pana 25mm...

Hi All,Well, It's a strange story but I'd always felt like I was missing a lot of images, over a couple of hundred,  from a trip to Europe several years ago.  I shoot IR and had an E-PL6 modded for it and so was shooting a Small P&S for Color beside it.  The reason I bring this up as I'd finally thought I'd look at the images again and decided to put them side by side only to find out what I'd thought was images from Copenhagen missing off the PL6, ended up being also in St.Petersburg 4-5...

I would be most grateful if anybody can tell me why the 'time lapse settings' option in my E-PL6 is greyed out. It occurs in Shooting Menu 2. There is absolutely no reference to this issue in the User Manual. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

I have the GH5 about two months and I find the AWB not accurate . I have used a white card a grey card to get the colour's correct but it just does not work when I compare to the LVf /monitor on the camera . I wonder is there a way to colour balance the LVF or the monitor so as I can get an idea how the colour  should look . I photograph in Raw and j.peg and i can always correct in post production but would like to know what I have before I get to that stage . Have used the Olympus epl6 and...

After shutter press it blacks out the monitor sounds like the shutter moves makes a grinding noise and then shuts off the power. It will still take and show movies! I have left the battery out for 24 hours. Charged it then put it back in and it does the same thing. Did a reset both basic and  the higher one.  Never lost the date setting even with the 24 hour batt out. Oly suggest try a new battery, or shutter may be bad. Don't have a spare battery. Camera was used by someone who did not...

Hello, I have the dust spots on my sensor of the PEN-EPL6. The technician told me, that dust is not on the sensor but under (!) the filter and is not removable! I use Olympus cameras for more than 10 years and I was very happy with their dust reduction system but... What to do? Thank you. Andrej

Are there any known issues regarding the E-PL6 and setting of Shutter Speed? I've been noticing that sometimes shutter adjusts as expected and then when you go to adjust the shutter speed again it doesn't change.  At first I thought it was just my inexperience with the camera and menus... but now I'm suspecting a software related issue. Example scenario: I'm in full Manual M mode using a Minolta 55mm 1.7 with an adapter. Turn camera On Click the 'F' (Up) on the Arrow Pad Further presses of...

Where is the zoom speed setting for the 14-42 EZ on the Olympus E-PL6? I've searched the manual, this forum, and the web, and cannot find this. There is a menu item to adjust the zoom speed of the 14-42 EZ on my E-M1, and I've read that it is also available on the E-M10.  But I cannot find it on my E-PL6 (or on my E-M5, either).  And those are the two cameras I would use this lens on.

Greetings. I was hoping to solicit some advice regarding my e-PL6 and some older lenses that I have a chance to purchase. I understand that using older lenses with an adapter will require shooting in full manual mode, and I'm comfortable with that. I'd just like to make certain that the two lenses I'm considering can actually be used, with an adapter, on my e-PL6. The two items are: Sigma 75-300 f4.5-5.6 AF Zoom Nikon NIKKOR 28-85 f3.5-4.5 I might be able to acquire these at a very good...
