![]() So I could have my camera connected to tablet or computer and transfer JPEG photos automatically and in demand RAW too. Now it is impossible unless sun is only light source.Ģ) tethering via WiFi. Now it is impossible as all lights flicker, and it is 9 months a year dim/dark here. I was expecting three features from this firmware.ġ) add 25fps so I could shoot video. Due to the correction being done digitally, being processed in camera, the image will only be saved as JPEG, and the image resolution remains at 16MP (loss pixels are then being extra-polated). This new feature is called Keystone Compensation, which should benefit many wide angle shooters. Now in the new Firmware upgrade 2.0 for E-M1, perspective distortion can be corrected in camera, being done LIVE while shooting, and you can see your correction adjustments as you shoot. I acknowledge that this is not a norm of preference by most photographers, especially landscape and architectural shooters, and there are a few solutions to counter this problem, usually using a tilt-shift lens, or applying digital perspective correction in post-processing, digitally. Honestly, I have very little issues with perspective distortion, I quite like the impression of the exaggerated lines and distorted image, somehow. Lines were slanted and not as straight as they should be. Perspective distortion is a common flaw in wide angle photography especially shooting from ground level, looking up to tall buildings, and the resulting image would be the building looking as if it was falling back away from you. I am no expert in studio photography, and I have not done tethered shooting before this, so I will refrain from adding my own comments for now. You can transfer both RAW or/and JPEG files from the camera to the computer, which was rather speedy (thankfully Olympus images files are not that huge). ![]() You can control almost everything, the main shooting parameters (shutter speed, aperture, ISO), focusing area, or even an option to do manual focus, Furthermore, if you are using Olympus Wireless Flash system, you can control the flash units through the Olympus Capture too, providing quite a complete studio tethered shooting setup. The E-M1 will be connected to the computer via USB 2.0 cable, and then you can control the camera remotely from the connected computer, via the Olympus Capture software. You will need to install Olympus Capture software, downloadable from Olympus site, and compatible with both Mac and PC. With the firmware 2.0 upgrade, tethred shooting is now possible. One of the feedback that I have received when I was doing the E-M1 review (from my blog readwrs of course) was the absence of tethred shooting capability in the E-M1. Why is the lens in this range so important? Three reasons: 1) that long reach (300mm in 35mm format, which is quite respectable and versatile in many shooting conditions), allowing you to go near, 2) Constant wide aperture of F2.8, both capable of shooting in less than ideal lighting condition as well as ability to render shallow depth of field, amplified by the telephoto range (the longer the focal length the shallower the depth of field) and 3) telephoto tight compression effect, giving great flexibility to isolate subjects and minimize background clutter in composition (great for portraits). It is officially launched now, and finally, the Olympus M.Zuiko lens has a professional long zoom lens! Whether you like to use a telephoto zoom lens or not, you cannot deny the fact that the lenses in this category from all manufacturers are highly popular amongst the users, you will surely notice plenty of wedding photographers, photo-journalists and even portrait photographers using the lenses such as Canon and Nikon 70-200mm F2.8. In addition to that, the E-M1 has a major firmware upgrade, adding plenty of useful features, adding value to E-M1 users. In this continuous effort, Olympus has placed their focus in developing the PRO range of M.Zuiko lenses, with the release of the M.Zuiko 12-40mm F2.8 lens and now, the newly launched M.Zuiko 40-150mm F2.8 PRO lens, a professionally built telephoto zoom lens to match the earlier standard wide zoom lens. ![]() Even awarded E-M1 the "Product of the Year 2013", and E-M1 has garnered praises from prominent photography bloggers such as Steve Huff and Michael Johnston (TOP). Since the introduction of the OM-D, Olympus has been targeting more serious photographers, mainly professional photographers and serious hobbyists who shoot in demanding and challenging situations, requiring a reliable camera system that will deliver the results. Olympus OM-D cameras have been highly successful, and well received by many professional photographers and photo-enthusiasts (much like myself) alike. ![]()
