New OM-1
Japanese is a language where words can change meaning, often significantly, with context. The manual may have been translated well but the menu terminology can put the cart before the horse. This applies to many japanese products (and german too ) where the meaning can be reversed. I do have... -

New OM-1
The white boxes are the detection. The AF-On does the same thing as the half-press shutter. The shutter button and half-press can be configured in several modes, changed through the menu (unfortunately the manual written in japlish, can seem volte face, menu can show "off" when it means "select... -

New OM-1
Actually not at all and please consider that I am somewhat over qualified to test and assess cameras or any other form of radiation detection equipment. I endeavour to take test results from qualified sites where the methodology can be checked. The OM-1 has a stabilisation system that is... -

New OM-1
Yes, but if you look at the Photon To Photons charts, the new OM-1 sensor is not significantly less noisy than the G9. Probably some other parameter. I'm retired but used to testing and assessing radiological instruments, mostly photon. Light is photon. Mike Lane demonstrated a simple noise vs... -

The read-noise chart above may not be easy to understand, this may be better. The charts consider different things, electrons and DN (Data Numbers aka Analogue to Digital Units (ADU)). As a radiometrologist I tend to understand the electron chart better. Same source, Photons To Photos. It shows... -

New OM-1
I have found over quite some years now that Adobe Camera-Raw, Photoshop and Lightroom introduce artefacts to Panasonic and Olympus because they ignore the sidecar files in the extended-raw. Whilst Adobe probably work well for Sony, Canon and Nikon, there have been many complaints of failing... -

It's DXO Photolab 6 now. Problem is all such software need paying for upgrades. Photolab probably has the best de-noise but then you only need to de-noise if you have noise - and MFT probably have the quietest read noise (see over at "Photons TO Photos"). MFT show little noise up to ISO 6400... -

New OM-1
I only use Workspace for basic functions, reading the SD, updating camera. I do not use it for raw conversion, the camera does that job better. It does show information. To be honest I lose my patience with raw-converters and post-editing, I can usually get a better jpeg out of the camera than... -

New OM-1
No it is your finger. The delay between you getting the AF focus lock with the half press or back-button AF-ON and you pressing the shutter release. That delay can let a bird move out of focus with AFS (S-AF). The way to get BIF with the G9 using AFS is to press the shutter to do AF and... -

New OM-1
My issue with back-button is the delay between focus lock and shooting. My G9 does have its infamous hair trigger shutter but my Ollies have the traditional two stage half press and release. If we are using the AFS/S-AF which is the quickest and most accurate we need to release the shutter... -

New OM-1
On the G9 we have AF-Near and AF-far too. I don't know that the OM-1 has that, my E-M5ii does not nor the PEN-F. I do use those but not AF-ON (been there), the half press shutter does this. Back-button focus is over-rated, often a waste of a Fn button. Using a cable release? On the G9, GH4, G7... -

I have the Lumix G9 and have looked very,very hard at the OM-1 and so far the OM-1 has not knocked the G9 off the top spot. I like Olympus a lot and do use three Ollie cameras but when it comes to wildlife it is the system. Olympus/OMDS only provide Sync-IS with a few of their top very...
