Upgrading from Bridge Camera to M43 (1 Viewer)

Maybe I have misunderstood. I thought the newest model allowed combination with C-AF or tracking.

There is a pro capture L (low) mode with continuous AF, but the frame rate is slower, and would not show wing beats in such detail.

Pro capture H (high) only focuses once at the start. Once the bird flies out of the depth of field, that's it. I shot these at f/10. I'm not sure how newer models would improve on this, except for a faster low (C-AF) mode, which I'm sure they do.

I don't know if that's right on my om1 (mark 1). I have it on pro cap2, and I'm pretty sure it is keeping up with subjects. Focus mode is c-af, and I use back button focusing which might affect things.
I know the exposure isn't monitored after the initial photo.

Best I've managed so far in terms of flight/action.
Needed a lot of cropping and noise reduction in lightroom to get to this point.
(Om-1 100-400mm, pro-cap in good light conditions. The limiting factor was definitely the link between my brain and muscles as the Sand Martins whizzed past!)

I'm using E-M1 mk II so I'm sure the latest flagship has had some improvement to pro capture. Swallows are very tough subjects!

14 images taken with Olympus E-M1 mkII, Pro Capture H. I also learned to process this batch of photos using the same settings in my editing software, which will come in handy later.

Not all photos with Pro Capture turn out nicely, but it is something I am using more often. It is now one of my custom presets.

I would rather see this then any one more beautiful image. This is much more informative and alive.
