My main problem is that I forget which settings I programmed to which button, as I do many different types of photography and also have several M4/3 camera's. After a while I have to check all the buttons again. So I've decided to start making a cheat sheet of all my settings in the different C modes on the OM-1. I hope OM-System starts adding the option for programming names to the C settings like Panasonic does.

Hunter here too. People who have not hunted do not seam to understand nature and how she works.

Im hatin! Auto ISO where its at! No jk, nice video and NASA lens. I was thinking i was the ultimate badass with my 90mm macro then i see a car priced lens.

Nice Lee. I'd just point out that for the focus limiter the OM1 can actually measure the exact distance for you. Making it easier to decide how much you want fore and aft and so what to set your focus limiter to. Such a cool feature.

Thanks Lee, for some really useful info re the autofocus on the OM-1. (I had discovered the focus limiter a while back but didn't think much of it... till now.) I don't do a lot of wildlife photography, but when I do, I'll make sure I have your suggestions/settings good to go. I'll rewatch the clip to make sure I haven't missed anything. Took your comments re metric measurements with your intended good humour. I predate Australia's metrification by a couple of decades, so I'm comfortable with both modern and archaic systems.😉 (I have a very dear friend in North Carolina, and when I discuss the weather I sometimes don't convert to Fahrenheit, which gives her a bit of a scare: "You wear shorts when it's 25 outside?!"😁

Sadly you couldn't tell people to hold off buying the camera as a firmware update was coming, but with the price of a new camera. OMDS are off my Christmas card list.

Hi Lee. I've been doing quite a bit of Pro Capture bird photography lately with my OM-1 and now my OM-1 Mark II. My experience has been that the CF with Bird Detection isn't able to keep up with fast moving birds. I've been getting some great shots but only by manually focusing on the bird or its destination and hoping it flies within the area that's in focus. When I look at photos that have been taken with the Autofocus, and press the Info button, I see the little green focus box stick to the original spot. It sometimes moves a bit towards the bird as it moves, but it almost never catches up to it. I have never gotten a sharp photo of a bird that has moved out of the original focus area. Has this been your experience too? Thanks!

Just came across your channel. I purchased the OM-1 and OM 100-400 lens a couple of weeks ago. Traded in my Sony gear, a7iv, 100-400 GM and both TC’s pretty much for the reasons you mentioned. In terms of handling it was like when you are ten pin bowling and you are using a slightly heavy ball. It’s ok but not quite right. The OM set up is the feeling you have when you pick up a lighter ball and it feels just right. Not just in raw weight but general handling, eg MF and button controls. I’m a walk around hobby photographer in Brisbane, Australia and the 100-400 gives me the flexibility and ultimate reach when shooting small birds at close range to bigger birds at longer range in the space of a few metres. I would love some comments on the 100-400. I am contemplating the 300pro f4 but a fixed focal length is a mental block for me. Unlike you I will take a picture if I saw a dodo irrespective of the conditions 😊, also I take some shots to help ID a bird. I’m new at this bird game. The 150-400 pro is a stretch too far to justify. My childhood in the 60’s was looking at birds through the sites of an air gun to feed a pet brown falcon. It gives you a certain appreciation as you get older. Not something I would do today, but you cannot erase the past. Thanks for your enthusiastic presentation. Cheers.

Does the OM-1 Focus limiter work with ALL Olympus/OM lenses, especially the 60mm macro lens, or just select lenses?

Agree about auto iso. I tried it, it sucks.

HI Lee - I am a beginner and have just recently started to watch your channel. Problem is that I get out there experimenting with the camera and then do the post-shoot review (of thousands of images), which can take hours. I have found your videos helpful for sure - thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Excellent!! Thanks!!

I appreciate your candor! I will be reviewing my setup and these tips will be helpful.

Thank you so much. How have I not found this channel before? Easy to understand practical advice. Totally agree re exposure compensation - I shoot in M and auto ISO and typically use shutter speed to get the right exposure. Love the messages to the haters. We use the metric system in New Zealand too, you'll catch up one day...

Thanks for the information. Always good to review the auto focus settings to speed things up. Safe travels my friend.

Thanks for the info Lee!

This was great fun. I love my OM1 even more now. Cheers.

Excellent!!!! Can’t wait to try this (the button is programmed for bird detection - so slick and fast! Thanks)

Great tips and delivery! I just acquired the OM1 Mk2 (had a Lumix G9) , so all tips for bird photography are useful. Thank you !

Great video. Thanks for the information.
