Thanks Rob for your commitment and content. Much appreciated at my end. It’s helped and saved lots of my time to navigate and understand the menus of Olympus cameras over the years not to mention some skills which has been transferable to other systems. Keep up the good work. Have a happy and safe festive season and looking forward to new m4/3 (smaller) camera releases in the new year 🤞
@ Pleasure. Can’t think how many hours of your tutorials I’ve watched (and rewatched) 😂….my contribution really isn’t much in the scheme of things but hey every little bit helps. Thanking you. Cheers.
1:28 you won't get banding using the electronic shutter since your shutter speed is low. You can only get banding in high shutter speeds, 1/50 or faster.
Thanks Rob, terrific demonstration and very educational. I've used live composite before for fireworks (as one would have thought this mode is more appropriate) and the result wasn't too good as the image looks completely filled with light almost to the point of washed out. Hmm not sure what went wrong there or would it have been better to use Live Time which is not what the manuals have recommended to use for things like light painting (e.g. fireworks in my case).
Well.. shutter speed does affect flash power. Flash is not binary 0001000 but its analog blink like 0000159753210000 (numbers represent Y axis with power values, X axis is time). Peak duration usually is around 1/6000s but whole flash duration might be up to half a second. Of course the main peak gives most output, but if you remove ambient light you will see difference between lets say 1/180s, 1/40s, 1/10s or 2s shutters. The larger the flash lamp is, the longer part of the dicharge duration is captured. But otherwise it is nice tutorial :) This live functionality is cute. I did similar multi-flash things with DSLR while shooting long exposures in caves. You just set wired shutter on Bulb and walk around the pitch black cave blinking the flash 10-20 times at full power into various directions and then check the photo. Because it is impossible to bring in such powerful flash system to do it with one discharge.
Very helpful tutorial (and explanation of Live Time vs. Live Comp). Shades of the original "Guy with a camera" tutorials!
Thanks Rob, excellent demonstration of our wonderful Olympus camera's!

This was a very helpful explanation for me.
Thanks Rob.
Hi Rob, your instructions are so valuable and practical for implementation, thanks again for time and effort, Ted.

Excellent point. I sometimes see banding as low as 1/10, but certainly none at the shutter speeds I'm using in this video. Thank you!
Very educational. Thank you Rob.
Great video Rob 🙏
Thanks!
Good tutorial Rob.
Very interesting. You are a good teacher
Greatly appreciated Rob, super helpful 👍
Thank you for the coffee!
@ Thank you for sharing your knowledge, really appreciate the work you do.
Good explanation and work through. Good video as always. Thanks
Thanks a lot Rob! I’ve learned a lot!
Great to see the difference between LifeTime and LifeComp functions 😀😀👍👍
Great video.

I would use Live Bulb with a remote trigger. But I actually like to use the intervalometer. ua-cam.com/video/Nria5n-zDhM/v-deo.html
I always learn so much from you Rob. How did I not know about the feature to set custom white balance?
Most cameras have this feature. I used it on my Sony and Nikon cameras before I bought Olympus. So it was one of the first things I looked for.
Thanks for this Video. It is very helpful to me. I‘ll probably have to recreate this myself.
Thanks. That's the best way to learn.
Will live time work in conjunction with internal ND filter settings? Thanks for informative video - again.
Unfortunately, you can't combine computational features..
@@RobTrek Thanks. Did not think so but was unable to find it easily in the manual.

Thanks. I wasn't betting on anyone using a flash with durations that long. I think a similar conversation was happening with the Sony global shutter.
