    Great video. Was just wondering how I would add an external microphone to this camera to record videos? Such as a Blue Yeti microphone. This camera does not have a spot to attach the audio cables that come with the Blue Yeti. It only has a USB and HDMI component. Would I just have to use OBS to record my audio portion using an external microphone then sync the audio and video files on my editing software?

I have gone into Function Settings and it does reflect a current date. Any help would be great!

    Hi I have tried the Pen E-PL10 and the 14-150mm lens. While the quality of the photos was brilliant (for me), I realised i think i would rather a camera you dont have to change the lens. I found them awkward. But my main worry was that i would not have support from Olympus next year as they are selling on. So i now am looking for a camera again with the same specs, (good stabilisation as I have a bit of a tremor, close up, really good zoom with good quality when using zoom, good night shots, moveable touchscreen etc etc). I also found the things that the PEN did was good and fun too like ART, SCENE etc. I would spend say up to about £900. Do you have any suggestions please as I really would like to buy one quickly. I am a 70 year young lady and want to practise before we can return to travel again. Many thanks.

  • @nictheartist

    The G9X mark I should be affordable second hand. Both the G7X and the G9X have larger sensors and therefore better for low light. The G7X is slightly better for low light, maybe get the mark II second hand. I suspect the SX740 might be ok as long as you focus on a highlight in a low light room.

    Nice video, I would love to see one that compares the "sports" mode of continuous shooting (accessed from the top dial) to the mode of continuous shooting that's accessed from the Q button. The Q button one seems faster but it's a pain to reset every time I turn the camera on. With the Canon 720SX, this function remained unless you reset it but for some reason on the 740SX it doesn't stay on.

  • @motorsportwarehouse5109

    it helps with the basic stuff, but I dont know what alot of the more technical settings are used for esp on P or M mode. Stuff like white balance and a few other things. Even in Auto mode many of my pics come out a little over exposed, which bothers me. I like the time lapse feature, but would be neat to see the results of how it looks when you are done. One more thing, the other Auto mode I find is neat, kinda like still shots while taking a movie, you didnt really touch upon.. thanks again

    Great Video. Would like to see additional ones that fully explain things like 'Servo Mode', 'Auto Lighting Optimizer', 'Slow Synchro', 'Display Area',? etc. when and how these functions work. Camera has So Much! Another nice addition would be a Flow Chart (Im great with them). If you can provide a rough outline, I can do the workup, share with you for fine detailing. One question I have is the 740's Blue Tooth connectivity. There's a product (cage handle) that has a built-in remote (removable as well), Company shows it will work with the G7 series (waiting for specifics if tried on the 740)... Other than the 740 is on BT2.0... the G7 on 3.0, it would seem the basic functions of Shoot, Video, Zoom should still be the same, can you comment please?
