SH2 and pro cap SH2 definitely a killer feature of OM-1 i/ii. Great works Lee, you capture all the subject within the full frame not crop. Well done. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you very much for watching and commenting! I will do a video on ProCapture eventually!
@@leehoyphotography yes please do. Kindly share the optimal setting for ProCapture, sometimes I still unsure with ProCapture setting of how many frames before and after and as well shooting frames limit. One thing I notice the OM-1 mark 2, does have bigger limit of proCapture buffer, it just gives luxury for more frames can be captured vs om-1 mark 1. Thank you.
Just switched from canon to OM system ! I do not regret it a second.They are just beast of cameras and have so many features that i was just dreaming about.Also the galass and the color sience are just amazing . Just discovered your channel and absolutely love it!
Thanks for sharing about finding my channel, hope you learn a lot and thanks for your kind words!
Terrific video! I really liked your discussion of SH2 followed by some of your beautiful images, it made the reasoning that much clearer. I’ve mostly used silent sequential and pro-capture, but after watching this I plan to change my C-1 to use SH2.
So glad it was helpful!
Hey Lee, I actually shoot in Pro-Cap SH2, but use it as if it is regular SH2 the majority of the time. This gives me that advantage that if I am waiting for some action I do not have to change modes, but if I see something happening quickly, I can just push the shutter all the way without buffering any shots, or maybe 1 or 2. I find this a much more flexible way to use the SH2 feature.
I am glad that is working for you Paul, I wouldn't like that process for me personally but if it is working and you are getting the images you want then it is good approach for you!
I have been into M43 since 2015, have owned the EM1 MIII since 2020 and love the system. I sell my work online and through galleries, never have I had a situation where the camera didn't work for me or a client has said, Oh, why was this pic not shot with a FF camera!"!
Yep, never had a magazine editor or ANYONE ANYWHERE ever say, looks like it was taken with an OM System camera!
Really informative once again Lee. I do find myself using the pro-cap option more than SH2 on its own, but I am very much still learning the behavior of my subject birds and animals so I find it harder to predict the next movement and pro-cap helps me with that. As my field craft and subject behaviour knowledge improves I will go to straight SH2 more and this video helps a lot with that. Thanks again.
Yes, I only use ProCapture for things I can’t predict, you will get there! But I’ve been birding for over 40+ years too!
Hello Lee, Great Video with a lot of very good informations. Thank you very much 🙏 I will upgrade from my E-M1III to an OM1 II very soon.
Greetings from Germany Alex
Hey Alex, so glad to have you here! Thanks for your kind words!
Great video, just want to know why you didnt use pro capture for the birds before the action you ere after?
Thanks for the kind words! I do use ProCapture at times but didn't want to cover in this video. I only use ProCapture for things I can't predict and I know most bird species well enough to have a good idea when they are going to take off!
Absolutely excellent video. I agree with everything you have stated in the video, however, I have found using Pro Capture SH2 a bit more advantageous in that I am not that "fast on the trigger" with the shutter release and so I do not loose any movement because I didn't hit the shutter release in time. Yes, I do drain the battery faster with Pro Capture SH2 (as opposed to SH2), but I now do not loose any potentially good subject positions. All the best, PJI
Hey Paul, glad you liked the video! I truly only use ProCapture for things I can't predict, but if it is working well for you, then that is awesome!
Awesome video with great material and awesome images.
Thank you for your kind words!
Great explanation of how to set up both camera bodies. I use SH2 for my bird photography when the conditions allow. I have not been constrained by the shutter speed and/or the ISO limitations of this drive mode even in low light situations. Thanks
With SH2 you, can't use it above ISO 12,800 or below shutter speed of 1/640. I just switch to silent sequential normal when I need a higher ISO.
Hi I’m back answering my own question. Sorry I failed to mention I was asking in reference to the OM-1. Yup 150 to 600 in SH2 will only shoot up 25fps. Not awful but not the same. I’ll adapt. Thanks for a great video.
Yes, limited to 25FPS which is still great! You are welcome and thanks for watching!
Thanks. I would have thought that the Procapture Drive Mode would be the best.
In my experience AF is a bit better in non-pro capture modes, it is still very good!
Great video Lee, superb images too.
Thank you so much!
Interesting clip. Although the SH2 with Pro Capture is superb, I am currently shooting butterflies taking off and quite frankly I do not think my OM-1 will lock AF on the butterfly because I am relatively zoomed back due to a necessity for frame space. Consequently the SH1 may be more suitable and just hope the focus will remain ok for some of the immediate images particularly using absolute minimum of f6.3 with an SS of no less than 1/4000 and hoping the ISO is not too high !! Enjoying trying to obtain these images 😊😊
Butterfly takes offs are erratic and quick, one of the most challenging AF situations for any photography. It really calls for a laser type setup which Congisys makes. I have had some successful such images, but it is the most difficult of "take off" shots probably of any category of flight shots.
Hi, I watched your video till the end even though I don't have the camera you are using yet. But I can learn new knowledge here, and who knows in the future I will buy this OM-1 camera as my bird photography camera. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 1 LIKE for this video. I'm a new friend here, a birder from Singapore.👍🔔
Welcome to my online community! Thanks for watching!
Excellent explanation of SH2 and how to set it up for success!
Thanks Don! Glad it helped!
This is the first video from you I came across. Great inspiration! But niw when you come home with >10k pictures... how do you quickly find the best and delete the others? How does Photomechanic help?
Check out this video of how I use PhotoMechanic: th-cam.com/video/Q26-wrty0fA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aF3iJrWj6tXvDqd1 I can cull 10K images in under 30 to 40 minutes! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks Lee for another informative video. I am interested in the flash limitations you mentioned that go with SH2. I only shoot underwater with my OM1 mk1 and use single shot or sequential, but am wondering if SH2 maybe more suited depending on the flash restrictions. After watching your video I tried to get the flash to work with SH2 but couldn't. Note that when underwater I use a flash trigger in my housing in RC mode. Thanks!
Hey Craig, I will do a video on flash limitation at some point, but for underwater photography I wouldn't go with the SH2 for underwater. The maximum flash sync speed for silent modes is 1/100's. Not sure what shutter speeds you tend to use, but that might be too slow. I am a BEGINNER in underwater photography at best! I would stick with sequential mode for up to 20FPS!
@@leehoyphotography Thanks Lee. Underwater we use anything from 1/60 to 1/400, depending on the water conditions and effects we wish to create. However, being limited to a maximum of 1/100 is too restrictive, so your advice to stick to Sequential mode sounds the best option. Thanks for clarifying. Cheers.
The lenses you mentioned are the only one compatible with the maximum frame rate of 50FPS. Other M.Zuiko lenses are limited to 25FPS
Correct.
Thanks for this helpful video. One the OM1, I noticed you had SH2, bird detect, and CF+M+TR. I'm wondering why tracking is on.
Linda, yes, on the OM-1, I found I had better luck with tracking turned on (even though the OM engineers said it should be off), now on the OM-1 Mark II, NO I don't leave tracking on! Crazy huh?
As to what lenses are compatible with SH2 at 50 fps is the 150 to 600 not compatible?
Glad you found the answer!
Hi Lee, great video thank you. I am unsure about buying the OM 150-600mm. I cannot afford the Great White Beast, AUD$11000 is not an option. The 150-600 is achievable. Unfortunately there are some real trade offs. I have the 300mm F4, a pro lens costing AUD$4000. The 300mm is excellent but I would love a zoom lens. The 150-600mm is a zoom lens, unfortunately with a few trade offs. For the same money (AUD$4000) I get a (non pro) lens which is a bit dark at the long end, does not have IP53 and does not support SH2 or SH2Pro Capture drive modes. I enjoy birds in flight and mainly use these modes. I feel very disappointed with my options. Are these reasonable criticisms or am I being too fussy?
Hey Ivan, of course everyone wants the features of the $7500 lens for cheaper! ;) So, in short, yes you are being way too fussy. The options are outstanding as with the 100-400, 150-600, 300, and 150-400, you have four wonderful options at varying pricing options and features. My preference in order is 150-400, 300, 150-600, and 100-400. If you already have the 300, then use the 1.4 and 2.0 with it and you are golden. If you do really want the zoom, you either have to cough up the bucks for all you want or be content with a little less. The 150-600 is a really good lens though!
Thanks! Really good discussion! Do you tend to save only bird subj detection in custom modes, or do you also save a custom setting using animal subj detection, too?
Thanks for your generosity! I reprogram the exposure compensation button to AI Subject Detection so that I can press that button and using the rear dial change subject detection quickly!
fantastico Sr Lee!!
una pregunta: Usted usa all focus point ? gracias
Thank you very much! With SH2, I use either the large AF point box or the small AF point box if I need more precision to avoid other subjects, branches, etc.!
Thanks Sr Lee !!
Hi Lee, a quick question. I have just returned from shooting puffins here in the UK and was using SH2. For the first time since shooting digital I had a card failure. Fortunately not too serious as I had back up. My question is what SD card speeds do you use? I tend to favour more smaller cards than a few big ones, but when shooting at 50 frames/second I wonder if I should use say the Sandisk Extreme Pro 280. Thanks in advance and you have become my go to channel for all things OM and wildlife.
David, I use ProMaster Rugged Cine Cards UHS II, V90m and love them. Those are the fastest you can use and I have them in 256, 128, 64, and 32GB sizes. I use 256 and 128 for wildlife. I use 64 for wildlife/macro/timelapse. I use 32 for night sky, macro, and landscape. Gald you are a part of my online community!
great video as usual. i have my OM-1 II set to ProCapture instead of SH2 because i thought it focused better during action shots?
I only use pro capture for things I can’t predict well. I find the two pretty equal in focus except for subjects coming at you. SH2 is better then.
I find the two pretty equal in terms of focusing except for subjects coming at you where SH2 is better.
Very helpful, thank you very much! I have a question, what about procap SH2? I found it was already late when I pressed the shutter, procap can help get many moments before I press the shutter button. May I know when you will use procap? Thanks!
Procap should be and probably is a separate video. And based on the little I know from watching Lee’s videos and my understanding of wildlife photography, my assumption is his philosophy is you want to be in tune with your subject enough to be able to capture those great moments without procap and then procap is that extra sauce that helps you get the best shot possible. IMO if you use procap as a crutch instead of a ladder, you’re better off shooting high framerate video and pulling stills.
Yes, I will eventually do a video on ProCapture, but I only use it when something is going to happen that I can't predicate! I know bird behavior well enough that I can predict most take offs! So, for that, I don't bother most of the time! Does that help?
Is the M.ZUILO DIGITAL 100-400mm compatible ?
Only at 25fps! If you go into the settings and change to 25fps, it should be fine.
Hey Lee, with the sh2, what size sd card do you use..also what speed card are you using.? And are you focusing on bird and then panning with the movement… thanks again for informational videos..so much to learn
Deb - I have everything from the 256GB down to 32GB SD Cards. Always use the UHS II V90 cards as they are the fastest. I use ProMaster which is actually cheaper but super reliable. Here is an affiliate link to the cards: amzn.to/4bWsCmt Thanks for your kind words!
@@leehoyphotography so is the v300 overkill in the SD card? I use pro master and scandisk
Sorry me again, what focus points are you using mostly when taking photos of BIF? Single point, cross or all point?
Hey Deb, I use the large box only. Never a smaller one, you want to give the camera as many focus points to choose from as possible. We will cover all this in GREAT detail in the mentorship program. You will be in the OCEAN of OM System!
@@leehoyphotography is this the same for perched birds too?
What is your view on SH2 vs Procapture?
For me SH2 is my go to drive, I only use ProCapture for things I can't predict. Being a well-rounded naturalist means I can predict a lot of things that are about to happen, in that case SH2 is more than enough!
Excellent Lee, very clear and concise along with visually compelling images!! Top work, wishing you lots of success in the Galapagos
Thanks John! We visited Guango Lodge today and fly out in the morning for Baltra! Right on to the yacht and first stop is the highlands on Santa Cruz Island! Looking forward to it!
@@leehoyphotography Sounds amazing, safe journey.
hi Lee
thanks for this instructional video. ask your. why haven't you set the pro capture mode? or is that not useful for your branch of photography? Anyway you show us nice sharp photos again. compliments for that.
yours sincerely❤
Well, I didn't want to get into ProCapture in this video as it would have made it already longer! I will discuss and I do use for things that I can't predict when they will occur!
Great video again. I learn so much about the OM-1 from you.
David, I love hearing that! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I don't use pro capture very much because I get way too many good photos to choose from.
I prefer the challenge of taking single shots and trying to get a good photo.
But when I need the feature, it is fantastic
I prefer to capture those special moments that you don't tend to get in a single shot scenario but we all have different passions!
Hey.. The 150-400 TC is refereed to as Gandalf (The Great White Wizard)
Not mine anymore!!
Note: I hate YT live streams. I use SH2 also, but some seem to overlook that suitable shutter speeds are still required. Its amazing the crazy ideas some people have.
Curious why you don’t like TH-cam lives? I hope to make it very productive! Yes, have to watch that shutter speed!
@@leehoyphotography My main reason is that I find the pop up comments etc. distracting and frankly many of them have little to no value. I prefer the good content in your 'normal' videos.
