Is there some library where presets can be found? I noted there are such attempts for older EM1's It would be quite nice to circumvent this manual settings ( and saving ) and have a local library via PC/Mac and of course your phone.
Steve, I have been using the Olympus OM-1 Camera with the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 100-400mm Lens for just a few weeks now. I noticed that I am not able to get a good focus on sitting birds in a distance, as with the Nikon Coolpix P900. I am wondering if you know the approximate distance in yards that the OM-1 Camera with the 100-400mm Lens should be able to focus on to get a good capture. Thank you, Jan
I have had no issues getting good focus on birds at a distance. I am using Bird Subject Detection, and generally the cross focus target area. If the bird is very far, I am not going to take a photo most times as I know the results will be unsatisfactory due to air motion and pollution between me and the bird…but If I do try, I would switch to the smallest focus target area to be sure focus in on the bird. In my experience the camera will detect a bird that only fills the small focus target area, even with the camera set to cross. Not the spot focus, but the small area.
@@StephenIngraham Yes, I use the Bird Subject Detection but wasn't using the cross focus target area or being sure to use small focus. I appreciate and will follow your advice. Thank you very much! 👍
U can skip the first 27min. Nobody buys a $5000 setup without knowing how to get to the menu. Subject detection, back button focus, saf caf, that's all u need to know.
I really appreciate this clear and precise presentation on how to set up my new Olympus OM-1 Camera with the proper settings for your Easy Point and Shoot Method. This video was invaluable! I went out in the backyard and captured a few first photos and posted them on my new TH-cam Channel. Here is the Link: th-cam.com/video/MBk8PSENFhU/w-d-xo.html Looking Forward to your future video on Birds in Flight. Thank you very much, Stephen! *****👍
Very detailed instructions at a comfortable pace. The use of menu and chapters make it easy to review while you make the settings on your camera.
Glad it was helpful!
Tried your suggested settings and its producing some very nice jpegs from my OM-1 with the f2.8 40-150
Great to hear!
Wow, seems great, just thought raw was always the way to go. Well done
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
Very Interesting - is there a similar video when setting up an OMD EM1 miii for bird photography? the menu seems a little different.
You can probably figure it out, as the principals are the same…but I don’t have that camera.

Oh and of course, thanks Stephen for this very good video.
I don’t know of any. I have thought of saving my presets from OM Workspace. ??
Thanks What’s the small white and grey focusing box do? can we remove this 😢
It just indicates where the camera is focused. You can turn it off in the Auto Focus menus. :)
