    Here are a few more useful tips to make the best out of AF in your Olympus OM-D cameras. A few of these tips are only applicable for the higher end models, so don't be surprised if the features are missing from E-M10 series or older OM-D models.
    Here are the 5 tips:
    0:45 Tip 1 - Use Default AF Target Selection
    2:27 *Extra tip - Hold down OK button during AF Point selection to re-center AF
    2:57 Tip 2 - AF Area Pointer ON2
    4:22 Tip 3 - Link AF Point with Spot Metering
    6:11 Tip 4 - Disable Lens Reset for Macro Shooting
    8:01 Tip 5 - Enable Focus Peaking for AF

    Great tips Robin! One more tip: You can use the given autofocuspoints while using the EVF (camera screen is off) and touching/scrolling with your finger on the screen. So you don't need the arrow buttons and be much faster. If this is not working for you: Double tap the touchscreen while it's off and the function should work. If you don't wanna use this technique but your nose activates it sometimes you can turn it off with a double tap on the touchscreen while the screen is off.

    2:53 Brilliant!😂😅🤣 Just an excellent video! Simple and really information dense. I'm going to see if I can find any of these features on my two OMD EM10IIs. By the way, my EM10IIs have some different features. The one with more features but less explanatory text is the earlier firmware version, surprisingly. When I checked the firmware version, those extra features disappeared! I did a reset and they came back! For example, it has about 3x as many self timer modes as the other EM10II. I need to make a video about it ... someday!🤣

    Thanks Robin. Very informative tips and reminders for sure.
    ON 2 is also very useful while in C-AF mode especially for moving subjects such as birds. Select all focus points and then you will get a shifting cluster group of focus points which will be highlighted.

    One thing I really wish Olympus would add to Workspace is for the software to show where the focus point was in the photo.

    Robin; as always thanks for your excellent reviews. I think there is need for a video comparing the Continuous Auto-Focus (CAF) and Face Detect (FD) capabilities of the new EM1 MKIII vs the current CAF and FD on EM5 MKIII and EM1 MKII. I note some confusion by some reviewers on the CAF and FD capabilities of Olympus cameras suggesting that the CAF and FD features of the EM5 MKIII and EM1 MKII (with all current firmware updates) are the same as that on the EM1 MKIII, which I believe to not be true. I believe the EM1 MKIII is unique in its capabilities for CAF and FD and eye detect and that it is possible these capabilities may be shared with other Olympus cameras in the future (firmware updates) IF the microprocessors on those other cameras can handle the computing load required. Just a suggestion; hopefully a good one.

      Depends on the shoot. For professional/work environment, I don't delete photos. I keep everything, just in case.

    Hi Robin! I've really enjoyed your channel - thank you for providing great and USEFUL content in a very clear manner! I have a question for your regarding my EM1 II and my Zuiko ED 100-400 lens. I was shooting the moon eclipse 2 days ago from my backyard. I could not figure out how to focus on the moon when it became dark red. Camera just wouldn't do it. I tried in manual focusing mode (both camera and lens) and tried in auto mode. One of my photo friends said that the technique is to start early when the moon is bright, use auto-focus to set the initial focus, then to switch to manual mode and focus manually. I tried that - same result - could not get a sharp image especially in zoom. What surprised me the most is that I could not set the lens to Infinity mode as you could with old 35mm SLR cameras and lenses. What am I missing? Would appreciate any tips from you for shooting a lunar eclipse. Thank you!

  • @SilviaOrr
    @SilviaOrr 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wondering if there is a quick way of turning off spot metering on the focus point, for example, if you’re shooting a silhouette, you don’t want them linked. Just thinking that with back button focusing you may not need them linked at all as metering still works with half-press of the shutter, so it’d be metering first, BBF after. Tricky.

      Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think I am able to do that anytime soon. I am still sort of stuck at home (lockdown) and even after the lockdown is lifted I don't think sports events are allowed. I can talk or make a video about the techniques but without actual demonstration it is very, very difficult to explain certain things. I got quite a negative feedback the last time I did this - demonstrating low light shooting with high ISO on fast moving subjects, I demonstrated it on a Lego Figure just to prove the high ISO noise (which has nothing to do with movement) and I was stabbed multiple times left right center and back for not slowing down my shutter speed and lowering my ISO. God. I am NOT going to go through that again. I hope you understand.

      At the moment Oly's CAF+Tracking is not very effective for birds in flight. A better option is to use CAF with the three or five group AF area. Depending on what lens you are using or the distance of the subject you may or may not want to enable center point priority for the AF area. I hope that helps.

The 300mm takes substantially more practice to keep the bird in the AF area because of the much smaller field of view. Also, the 40-150 F2.8 is faster at acquiring focus due to its shorter focal lengths and its two linear drive motors that can rack focus extremely fast while maintaining accuracy.

    Great video Robin. Will the autofocus green box remain lit, tip #2, if you are using "back button focusing" or just the shutter button?

      Thanks. I don't use BBF though, give it a try and see if it works?

    Very useful tips again, Robin. I can.t switch the af area pointer on my em5 II. Cannot find it in the A menu.

      Don't think that is an option for older cameras, but all the new cameras have that now.

    Robin, one more question - what is the scenario for using focus peaking with Autofocus and what is the benefit.

    Good video, I have a question, how to deactivate the light that help focus? I only want to deactivate it in order to make street photography without attracting the attention of the people. I will save it at my C1 mode

    Hi Robin, is there a video on these focus boxes. How do I set up in M so I can just control the shutter and f-stop and not keep seeing boxes appearing?

    Wow Robin! You are very good at describing these features - thank you. I’m currently trying to decide between the E-M5 III and the E-M1 III. The price difference is significant so I wanted to ask your opinion of general camera use and change of AF point selection while wearing cycling gloves. I know the E-M1 III will be better but do you think that the E-M5 III can be effectively used with gloves when speed of changing AF point is important?

      The Buttons on EM5 Mark III is very small. EM1 III will be better to hold and spaced enough to avoid accidents.

    I have M10 Mark3 but there is no option for 'Spot Meetering'(Tip3) on my camera. How can i setup my camera ?

    Great set of tips
    But not sure I understand the focus point selection tip. For cameras with the 121 cross type auto focus points do you mean by using the touch screen you do not select one of these or does this mean using the touch screen does not activate the phase detect part of the auto focus just the contrast detect part?
    I have always used the rear screen touch, a left over from my E-P5 usage.
    Is phase detect used in single AF as well as continuous focus, as this has been discussed in the forums to no definite solution that I have seen.

    • @robinwong
      @robinwong  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The exact locations of the phase detect AF sensors are placed exactly on the default AF selection mode, hence if you use those points you will have maximum AF sensitivity, speed and accuracy. By selecting the LCD touch screen AF, a different box appears and they may not be able to maximise the potential of the phase detect AF. For most shooting situations this is not an issue but for run and gun photographer and that split second reaction can make or break the shot, I highly recommend using the default AF selection positions.

    Hi Robin, Can you link AF to spot metering on the Olympus om d 10 mkii ? I cant find the option E3.

    • @robinwong
      @robinwong  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Maybe not, I don't have an E-M10 Mark II, if you don't see the option most likely it is not there.

    Hi Robin. 👋 I've been watching your videos since I got my m10 iii. I Decided to buy a refurbished e5 ii but I wanted to have the focus point always on (green square). I couldn't find it in the menu. I guess there is no always on focus point on e5 ii. I'm sad. Please help. Thanks

    • @pdeguzman13
      @pdeguzman13 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I mean when half pressed. I want the green focus box to remain on until I make the shot. Thanks again for your great videos.
