How do i get it to record in a single file for videos longer tham 3 minutes? I am using a 170mbps sandisk extreme pro card but it keeps breaking up the files
Hi, there is slow motion. In the custom video codec choice; choose HD 1920 X 1080; and choose slo mo; you can choose down to 0.48X or something like that. Yes I know it differs significantly from what we expect - I mean 120fps shouldn't be difficult frankly. However, it still is slo mo; I will try it out on my side. Great review! There is an option similar to PANA in terms of focus pull - you can constrain the focusing range from say 5m - 20m. If you have a video recorder, please try to see how high the hdmi out can go.
Tnx for the 0.45x tip, I missed that completely, I will try it out next time I get this camera. Focus range limiter is great stuff, I'll talk about it in second part of the review.
I achieve smooth and pleasing results using the following settings: FHD - SF - 30p - x0.5 Looks like 60fps slowed down to 30. Haven't got as pleasing a result from the other options, not enough motion blur at 25 and it tends to look choppy, so this is my go-to setting.
Thanks! There are "auto power off" and "quick sleep mode" in J2 tab in custom settings. Play with those settings to keep live view active for how long you want.
Hi There Thanks for the great video. I have a question. I am not able to change the HDMI output to record mode. The entire option is greyed out. I assume some other setting prevents this. Can you help please ?
OM-D E-M1 Mark II USA Version Does It have a 4K Video Record Time Limit? #2 Back in April 2017 when You Did This Great Review, =Do You Remember What FirmWare Ver we had Back When You Did THIS? #3 Wonder if NOW In 2020 You Still have This Olympus Em 1 MK II & if You Were Ever Able To Update Latest FirmWare 3.0 or 3.2 Firmware & if So?..Did You Notice Major Performance Advantages? Did You ALSO Get THE 2 Things You Wanted MOST From Olympus Being=>Zebra's & Faster AF?? I Would Really Love to Hear From You On This?? AGAIN THANK YOU MY FRIEND YOUR Videos Are The BEST :-)
could try again, indoor low light test BUT with something with more contrast than the lens you had used. I think its the lack of contrast for the almost 9 sec AF time
Micheal Bolton From My Scientific Always Thinking View,,,You have a Vary Good Point there Micheal Bolton,..Though Nothing is Certain ITS Definitely worth Testing, Especially with Maybe SAY.=>Olympus 12mm F/2 Prime I'd Say You are Gonna See Faster AF Also being that Lens having The latest Fastest Focusing Motor inside That Lens :-) 🕵️♂️🧙♂️✊😎

Thank s for the information,
I'm using last 2 years this camera not solved c af problem it's lost focus in moveble shoots.
Wow, great review. Thank you very much!
What kind of video camera doesn't offer 30p in 1080? WHY?
Excellent review. I have quick question. I bought my Em1 not long ago but just started using it more. How do you keep the live view on all the time?
Thanks! There are "auto power off" and "quick sleep mode" in J2 tab in custom settings. Play with those settings to keep live view active for how long you want.
Thanks for your help mate. Cheers
So does this camera has clean HDMI output for streaming on the web using HDMI out?
NIce. How about a video about external video recording with this camera?
Very good, practical review.
great review!

Sorry, I don't remember what firmware was on this camera. It's not mine, most of the stuff I review is borrowed. Now I own Panasonic G9 and Canon 6D.

Dobar video samo dalje tak
hej... verojatno si u međuvremenu riješio ali vidi za izgovor "menu"... nije "meni"... i "ratio"...
good video!
Good review.
Great video
thanks for this review, excellent
Hello nice video greet from Belgium
why some reviews on EM12 claim the 237 bit rate is bogus ?
Depending on the scene, bit rate rarely goes that high, it is usually (much) lower.
review it again with ver 3.0.. thanks
YESSSSS EXACTLYYYY,,That Would Be KILLER, :-)
Now WHILE FirmWare VERSION IS NOW AT => Ver 3.2 So Yes I'm Just Dying To KNOW? ~>^..^
2022, still no zebras. ugh
