Hello Emilie, timely video as I've been suddenly lusting over the Pen-F and E-P7 which sadly were never sold in North America as my every day camera. I think a great lens for this camera is the 17mm f/1.8 lens.

I have my lower button set to AF Target Mode to switch between full & spot quickly. I had the upper set to exposure control, but I am going to try focus peaking as I really like that idea. Thanks.

Enjoyed the video Emilie. I have just purchased a three legged thing Ollie so that I can switch easily from landscape to portrait. However, I am having difficulty fitting the Ollie in portrait. I have a Arca-Swiss fitting attached the camera which works perfectly in landscape but I am lost when I try to switch to portrait. I appear to have a fitting problem. Is there another part or am I missing brain cells!! I am using a manfrotto ball head MH494. I am really feeling very stupid. I purchased the Ollie from eBay. No instructions included. Do I need a different ball head?

I really love my PenF cameras. Even if I have OM 1 and older bodies, no other camera is giving me more fun and inspiration. It reminds me so much og my sleivas and pushes me to be better st improving myself. Pure joy .

If you need more Sandhill encounters, there are breeding pairs in Parc national de Plaissance which is 30ish minutes from Ottawa or 1 hour from Montreal. It's a cute little Quebec Provincial park and has great birding.

Hi Miss ! J'avoue ne pas les utiliser. Mais du coup je vais essayer grâce à toi… Je viens de découvrir qu'une voix de synthèse française remplace ta voix en Anglais que je n'entend plus !! J'utilise la traduction dans la molette de TH-cam habituellement. C'est l' IA ? possible. Je suis déçu de ne pas t'entendre. Best regards. PS : Sous ton titre il est écrit : "Doublée automatiquement" !!!

It's a little ironic that I can't use these buttons while wearing the gloves you recommended last video. I do use the buttons (custom modes), but only when it's warmer.

I have all three Valleret gloves ... the thin inner glove, the next layer and then the large mitten going over the previous two. The middle glove was very difficult to use with my OM-1 M2. They were too stiff. So, here I am north of Fairbanks, Alaska at midnight last Feb. Temp was -20°F. Trying to capture the Aurora. Final glove set-up? Wore the thin glove. Put hand warmers in the large mittens. They had a very useful strap to hold them around your neck. In-between shots, just put my hand in the heated mittens. The actual photographer gloves were useless for me. I will try the alternative you are offering.

I have to admit that those two buttons are the least used by me. Which is such a shame became not only do they do really good things but they are in a very reachable spot. Thank you for reminding us to use them.

A very enjoyable show Emilie loved every minute thank you.

Thank you Emilie I've never used BBF.

Merci de nous rappeler les possibilités différentes d'attribuer ces boutons 🥂✌.

My camera has buttons? Never realized this. Since years I try to find out what the button for the right index finger is doing, sometimes it clicks. Maybe it's broken and needs repair.

I use the top button for Live ND and the bottom for Focus Peaking.

hi! I have the issue with my OM5 that in S or A mode its not showing me ANY preview of the exposure, live boost and OVF simulation turned off. Manual works as expected, any ideas? Thank you!

I actually have used the top one of the 2 for AF on. I found it to work well for me on many different cameras.

Top button ND and bottom Bkt.

I use the front buttons the same as you do but on my EM1 II. Very handy!

Top button for High Res Mode; bottom button for Subject Detection. I'm not worried about stopping down to preview DOF, and I don't set a Custom WB very often.

Merci Emilie

Knew about the buttons. But never use them. Gonna change them for peaking and stacking

I use the bottom button as Focus Limiter

Currently top button = multi function, bottom = magnify 😊

I'm new to the OM-1 so still figuring out a lot since I used a Canon R6

I use top button for subject detection options, the bottom button is left for DOF which I use in conjunction with manual focus (with Peaking turned on)

Bonjour Émilie, Pour ma part j'utilise beaucoup ces 2 boutons, en mode MSAP celui du haut sert à la détection des animaux et oiseaux, celui du bas détection des visages. En mode macro C1 ( avec le 60mm ) me sert pour la mise au point en manuel et celui du bas détection des oiseaux ( pour les insectes )

My L:umix has them and I think I chose one for brackets. But I think I will revisit all my buttons now. Thank you.,

Hola Emilie,Muy util tus videos, gracias!! yo uso el boton de bajo para 2x , y el superior para C1 aves en vuelo... saludos !!

I still have and use EM 5 and EPL 5 Olympus 2012 cameras and a 2010 EPL 1 they all still work great. The EM5 has traveled the world many times f=om Canada to Japan and the Philippines

OK, I get that you are an ambassador for OM Systems. But listing each and every argument for your OM-1 in a sort of in-your-face manner is not especially convincing. Yes, you might argue for a system like an MFT camera and its lenses that aren't as heavy as, say, a FF camera. However, if you are often shooting in low light situations where with a small sensor you don't even have a chance to get your picture with a sufficiently fast exposure time you might want to opt for the FF system. Different people may put different value on this decision and that's fine. But what I found really questionable: How can you make a video about the best camera for wildlife photography and not speak out one single time the word 'autofocus' that is one of the most essential features for wildlife photographers? I don't need a video that is ranting about how megapixels or the price of a camera doesn't make up a good tool for wildlife when at the same time you don't talk at all about the autofocus capabilities of a camera.

I use them to toggle ProCap on/off

On my EM-1iii, the top button is for peaking and the bottom one is for C1, which has my settings for macro (focus bracketing, etc). On my OM-1, I kept the peaking on the top button and have focus bracketing on the bottom one. By holding the button and moving the dial I can easily adjust the focus bracketing settings. This is so much easier to use in the field than a custom setting on the top dial.

I've programmed and reprogrammed those buttons so I keep forgetting what I’ve done. But with the OG E-M1 I used the top button to return the focal point to the centre and that’s what I keep expecting whenever I press that button on the OM-1 (even though there’s a joy stick to do that now).

Very good explained! I would love to use this buttons, but my fingers don’t work anymore to reach those buttons😥

Have been using the front buttons for many years, am an exception (I think) who assigns the AF on button and front button at the bottom to AF on and I find this is beautiful, always focus with ring finger, only when camera is low to the ground I focus with the AF on button at the back. I use the top front button as a distance limiter.

I use the top button for HDR and the bottom button for Depth of Field preview. Love your brief, concise videos!

I have a Lumix G9m2. It also has 2 nearly identical programmable buttons. I use them for near and far focus. Not sure Olympus has such a useful function. It pulls the auto focus away from the wrong subject it has landed on, to nearer the camera or (the lower button) further away. Really useful if the camera has focussed on the branch in front of the bird or behind the bird. You can ask it to bring the focus forward or push it back until it finds the bird. Easier and quicker than the joystick. Gamechanger!

Top I use for digital teleconvertor, the bottom one for peaking. Cheers

I've just added the 14-150mm Zuiko ED f4-5.6 II recently for a one lens travel kit with the Pen-F.

Thank you Emilie, great video. I have programmed all my buttons. I use the front bottom button for HDR and the top front button for my C4 settings. 😁

Top button for HDR, bottom button for ND

Yes I program all my buttons ❤

Quelle coïncidence, je venais juste d'écrire sur ma to do list de mettre le Focus peaking sur le bouton avant de mon OM-5 !! 😁 Merci pour la vidéo 👍

I use them and have programmed like I want. Subject detection on the upper. And Peaking on the bottom. Sometimes I press them accidentally, but I still like the buttons. I wish they were little harder to press down so I don't do it accidentally.

Ever since they allowed assigning Custom modes to buttons, first on the M1X, and all bodies since then, I do C1 & C2 on the front. Miss having all 4 C modes on front buttons like the M1X.

That's hilarious... here i am thinking i am clever, and your buttons are programmed exactly as mine are on my E-M1X (which also gives those buttons in portrait, which i shoot often) - so, so useful. Good vid. Cheers.

Great video. I have my front two buttons set to Subject AI and Subject select/Lock.

Same as you too, but otherway round

I have focus peaking on the top button and magnify on the bottom button. Great for when I am using my vintage lenses.
