The Procapture features of the OM-1 have been perfectly implemented especially compared to other manufacturers. ProCap2 has been a real game-changer for my bird-in-flight photos. Thanks for making another great video.
A great series of 3 videos Mike. Well put together and as ever, very informative. Three hard drive copies - wow - must say I have done that but appreciate the comfort factor that must bring. One thing - you missed of the "Thanks for watching" bit at the end of this film. 🙂
Hi Mike, Great videa as always. Do you use back button focus? I do and have focus turned off on shitter button half press. I have only just started playing around with pro capture, but so far i dont think it is working. I expected that using the bbf method was cause the pre caoture to start when hitting the focus button (since it is replacing the half press on the shutter). But I'm wondering if i still need to half press the shutter button whilst also pressing the bbf button to get it to work. I know it saya in the menu to half press the shutter but i assumed that was just because that's the traditional/common method used by most photographers and camera setting default. Cheers, Craig
I don't use back button focus. Does not suit my hand shape at all. I would expect to have to hold the shutter button down half way to activate procapture.
Hi Mike, Just to close the loop in case of use to anyone else. I can confirm that the half shutter press does activate the procapture even with back button focus. Cheers, Craig
It's a great feature and no other camera has it like that, But a general question with my OM-1 with static subjects it goes in and out of focus quite a bit (like it will be focused on an Egret and then it will focus on the background) do you have the same Mike?
Nice explanation. I had a question on the pre-frames and when they get captured. Suppose my shutter speed is 1/2000th of a second. And number of pre-frames is set to 10. From the point I depress the shutter, do the 10 pre-frames get spread out over the one second preceding the shutter press? Else 10 frames may get done in just (1/2000)*10 and end up capturing super fast action but for just a brief 1/200th of a second before the exact time of pressing the shutter button
Nothing to do with the shutter speed. If shooting at 50 fps and you set 10 pre-frames it will take 1/5th second to take those 10 frames. You might struggle to press the button within 1/5th second of the action happening. Which is why I recommend 25 pre-frames. At 50 fps 25 pre-frames will take 1/2 second and that is enough time for most people to be able to press a button.

Totally agree

Thanks. Not sure why I missed that out.
Brilliant feature...
Thanks... 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻

I will try out the shutter activation approach and let you know in case you get this enquiry again

Not if it has a clear view of the bird. If there are grasses or twigs in front of the bird it may no longer recognise it as a bird shape.
