Peter, just wondring, you didn't renew with OM-D? I mean you've been a great ambassador of Olympus for such a long time.... they should keep you. Thanks for all the Vids! you're amazing!
Thank you! Their policy changed. The main focus in OMDS are, wildlife, birds, outdoor and macro. None of that is my main thing. That is why I do not have a contract with them. I still work closely with them here in Finland.
Peter, since I can only afford to buy used equipment, I really appreciate the fact you show exactly which cameras have the features you are describing. Also printing the list is very useful because I can stop the video and make a note before continuing. Thanks again, and to borrow a great phrase, bye for now.
Have I used any tips recently? Sure! The Manual, constantly! You can shoot video? Wow! I’m such a noob! I love your tips, and now need to see about a passport for 2022. What a fun trip that may be! 🙏
Great your being back in the game named "Olympus-Tips&Tricks" . You have done much of this. Is it an impossible wish, that you write a book of all this - maybe in cooperation with Robin Wong and other Olympus visionarys?
Great tips! I have AF Limited assigned to my Lens Function Button. a quick press will turn on or off the AF Limited. A long press will get me to where I can select which AF Limited setting to select. Then the Info Button will let me change the settings.
You and your UA-cam channel have been a great discovery for me today. I like your English pronunciation, your voice and your great videos about Olympus cameras. Of course I have subscribed to the channel, it has my "likes" and I'll tell my friends about it. Thank you very much and a hug from Malaga, Spain.
Thanks for the tips. The folder one sounds useful. I did not know about the liveND noise reduction will take a look. For Astrophotography I have tried Hand Held High Res on a tripod for Milky Way shots - you can go up to ISO 6400 and it will take 16 frames and combine them which gives some noise reduction. I got better results for this compared to tripod high res mode.
Thanks for the tips, I will be using that Folder one it takes me ages scrolling through old images to import in Lightroom waiting for them all to load.
@@ForsgardPeter based on my requirements and skill level. I would stick with the e-m5 iii. 3 things I find lacking on my older e-m5 are, can't attach mic to camera, no 4k video and I hate that histogram, level and blinkies are all seperate views. Would prefer them to be combinable. Thinking the 20mp sensor will be nice upgrade and hoping to be able to push iso levels more when needed. The father of active 5&7 year olds. 4k video for family videos and need a fast tele at some point for the poorly lit hockey arenas. Cheers
Sounds like the E-M5 MKIII is just the right camera for you. Hockey Arenas are sometimes quite poorly lit. Must be nice photographing your kids on the ice. Great memories!
Hi Peter, thanks for your tips - especially the Live ND one, very interesting. I came to using the lever to switch between still and video last year when using an E-M5ii for both video talks and general photography. Together with the custom modes I was able to quickly switch to my preferred video settings and shoot away.
I had no idea about Live ND. I’m going to try it tomorrow! That is a fantastic tip. With DXO and now this, I’m going to have the cleanest images. Thanks Peter.
It is challenging to remember what the complete Olympus camera program has to offer. In particular, interconnectivity and usability. And manuals exceeding 200 pages are simply a work of art.
Thanks Peter. I think it is important if you are exposing to the right that we do not clip highlights in light conditions were there are very bright highlights.
i used the focus limiter for shooting swallows, made it from 20 to 200m, they were really flying close and low. it worked with the zuiko 50-150 pro + 1.4 TC better than the 100-400 mm f6.3.
In my experience, the camera focus limiter is a good feature, but a bit clumsy to operate. I've been using the level switch for video for a while, but gone back to using the mode dial, in order to get the level switch back for other settings. Live ND for noise reduction is an interesting idea. Unfortunately, only the latest E-M1 models have it, but I think that in most situations where that is suitable, you could also use highres. That reduces noise very efficiently, too. Apart from that, with PhotoLab's Deepprime noise reduction, noise is not so much of an issue as it may have been before.
Peter ..I honestly don't get the folder tips yet ... if you can make a separate video on that . The Photography trip together with Matti is an excellent idea .. come up with the dates .....
Regarding the AF limiter. On primes it works as intended, however on Zooms, it is rather useless, since the number you enter are only correct when fully zoomed in, at any other zoom level they are hugely decreased.
Dear Peter. Is it possible to use Olympus FL-LM3 Detachable Flash for the OM-D E-M5 Mark II... on the OMD EM10 MARK II instead? I always fancied this flash.
Am I the only one who thinks that Peter needs to make the beard a permanent thing? I think it just gives him a guy next door look that you'd be comfortable shearing a beer with while having a back yard BBQ.... and he knows so much about cameras that he's a great resource to have handy.... and he MIGHT even let you borrow a lens sometime...
Hello Peter, thanks for all your work. It really helps. I have a question off topic about one of my omd cameras and could benefit from your experience if you don't mind. Ian.
@@ForsgardPeter thanks Peter, actually the last 24 hours have been a nightmare, I'm ready to throw my camera and lenses away. The bin men come tomorrow so perfect! The original question was/is about my EM10 Mark III, the screen has started a flicker just after I single auto focus then after the shot, jogs slightly to catch up. Then is fine till next S-AF. Wondered if you had seen this before. Only noticed it yesterday. Then this afternoon picked up my EM1 Mark I. Switched on to check battery and went for a walk. Went to take a shot and the body won't power up. Thought it was me. But at home tried four fully charged batteries, and the body won't come on. Two cameras in 1 day (to go with my 14-42EZ motor last week stopped working. I'm stressed because I really REALLY look after my kit. It's expensive after all). Any help would be amazing. Ian
Thank you Peter, miss your content. I find myself leaving all my other cameras home now and taking my OM5 MK3. Stability is unmatched and video is crazy stable freehand. Thank you and please stay in touch! - Mark Rose. PS; heres a fun aerial clip I took with my Lama helicopter: ua-cam.com/video/uUCMFyT6oAA/v-deo.html
sir, i wanna ask about my olympus OM-D EM10 mk ii, why my camera fast overheat and so hard to focusing object. sorry for my bad english, i hope you understand what i ask, thanks sir.
Never heard before that E-M10 MKII over heats. Does it happen when shooting images? Focusing is easier to a subject if you use only one focusing point.
30 minutes after shooting images, my camera overheat and suddenly shutter speed randomly doesn't work, i don't understand why, do you have any suggestion for me sir?
Sorry to hear. These tips videos are sometimes like this. Cannot cover everything on every video. There will be some tips about E-M10 cameras in the future.

That AF limiter is a godsend for astrophotography!
I’ll have to try that immediately. My next moon shot,,,
Wonder how it works with portraits (children and pets) and macros.
Definitely want to try the AF limiter the next time I photograph birds.
Just purchased my first Oly camera, OM-D 1 Mk ii. In part thanks to you and your excellent videos here! This is a most timely video... Thank you, sir!
Glad to help!
Just got myself a nice secondhand 17mm f/1.8. Feels very old school. Nice to have a prime lens.
Very nice! What are you photographing with it?

Great tips Peter! Always handy to have the manual at hand, didn't know that you could get it in the app 👍
Thanks Espen! It is a handy way of having the manual always in the "bag".
Looks like Its a great time to upgrade my Em-5. Been 10 years already. Love alot of the newer features.
Cheers.... loving the channel.
E-M5 is a capable camera, but yes newer cameras some interesting features that might be useful. What body are you considering?

Great idea to flip the lever like the x-t4 fujifilm has from video to photo
I sure wish Olympus would bring back the panorama mode
Its a lot of fun

I never thought of the ND for noise. I use hhhr to lower noise and then resize it back down/
Hi Peter, thanks for the live ND and noise reduction tip much appreciated.

I agree that the AF limiter is a bit clumsy to operate. On trick is to assign the AF Limiter to a function button. It is an easy access.

The Photography trip together with Matti is an excellent idea .. come up with the dates .....
Yes I could. We will have some more info in couple of weeks.
Thanks for the your five tips, I love these kind of video’s. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Glad you like them!
Great tips! Thanks for sharing your experience again!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Workshop in Helsinki? Sounds great ... I just (5 hours ago) bought a E-m10 Mark 4 .... in Helsinki.
Very nice!
Great Peter :) thank you !

Not sure if FL-LM3 is compatible with E-M10 cameras. I would not ry before checking it is ok.
Thanks for doing this video.

His facial hair and clothing is not my concern.
Can you check out and review the new Nikon Z fc? 😍
That would be cool. It is quite hard to get hold of Nikon cameras for testing here in Finland.
LiveND no. I Have omd em1 mark1 and 2.. the other, yes I use.
V good video, plz advise me best photo camera for wedding videography under 1000$, plz reply.
I would say any modern camera is ok. Fron Olympus line-up I would look for a used E-M1 MKII with a fast lens.

Could we not accomplish the equivalent of Live ND noise reductionby rapidly shooting a bunch of images and merging them in post?
You can. I would use ImageMagick for that, FWIW.
Yes you can. Either photoshop or some other image editing software.
