If only there was footage available of the Olympus board room meeting about this camera then we might have some insight on that auto exposure behavior.
@@trym2121 Haha yeah the ideal vlogging camera would really be something like a DJI Osmo Pocket II. Gimbal beats any kind of OIS or EIS image stabilization. It's a tiny camera with a handle. Just needs a small but high res oled display and some kind of integrated microphone array / shotgun mic. The really perfect vlogging camera would also capture forward and backwards. Maybe even a 360° camera like the gopro max so you can reframe the shot. And with depth sensor so you can adjust depth of field afterwards. My point is there is a lot of things you could actually do already, but that isn't done yet. So we won't run out of things to bitch and moan about for the perfect camera for a long while yet ;)
To be fair, both the slow AF and no exposure compensation look like they can easily be fixed via software. I don't do much video anyway (if there's anything I'm missing it's the handheld hi res shot and 4K photo) but I really hope Olympus packs up some more stuff with updates, this camera is an inch from being perfect
Sadly, and ironically, Nikon has face exposure in video mode completely mastered. Ohh Nikon, you do the one thing right that all others fail at and all the rest of the things wrong.
On my em5.2 you've got to set auto iso all, in the settings. Got to video mode, set c-af tracking with face priority and whatever vid format you want, then go to manual mode, set auto iso, aperture and shutter speed, then press then video record button. You'll get auto iso and green tracking square in video mode. Oh I've seen people use +2 for the af speed for the em1.2 maybe that'll help with the focusing. Funny vid. Subscribed.
Thanks for sharing that info. The exposure was concerning on the EM5.3. I'm looking for my 1st camera and the EM5.3 is in the lead, but the G85 footage looked good too (except for the warpy shit on wide angle). Hopefully he just didn't know the proper settings, or maybe a firmware update can fix it.
The stabilization on that Olympus is superb! Too bad about the EX compensation. If only we could have a robot monkey combine the best features from each camera, we would finally have the perfect one!
Discounting the auto exposure (but in my opinion that makes it more true to life), this is the best one yet. And audio is internal? that sounds phenomenal.
I noticed the pre amps were loud and hissy. They got a lot of things right, but not sure why the auto exposure wasn't working. Perhaps if I had more time to play around with settings I could have found a mode that worked, but the Olympus reps themselves had no answers for me. They were photographers lol.
I was in Toronto over the weekend and went to Henry's. Told them I only knew about them because of you. Guy had no idea who you were and when I tried to show him your TH-cam channel he told me they had no Fuji chargers in stock (forgot mine at home) and went to the back room. 10/10, would go again.
As much as I love this guy and I do watch a lot of his videos, would be fair for an user error update disclaimer. You do have AWB and auto Iso when filming, so no problem, really. Amazing travel vlogging camera, I use it only with Pana lenses, works great for video with Ibis and Autofocus.
Why don't you try the Lumix G9? With the updated firmware, I think the autofocus should be really good. Not sure about auto exposure since I don't vlog. But if I remember correctly, it does a good job doing it.
You got to adjust the camera settings 1st and try it again ;) This: "...you've got to set auto iso all, in the settings. Got to video mode, set c-af tracking with face priority and whatever vid format you want, then go to manual mode, set auto iso, aperture and shutter speed, then press then video record button. You'll get auto iso and green tracking square in video mode. Oh I've seen people use +2 for the af speed for the em1.2 maybe that'll help with the focusing. "
Never tried the em5iii ... but the em1ii ‘s autofocus is amazing with the pana 12mm 1.4 ... there is a noticeable difference between the af performance in 1080p and 4K. Performs a lot better in 4K
You always make me laugh! I've tried that 15mm and it sucks for video on Olympus. The autofocus and stabilization was very good on the Olympus lenses. As for the exposure, I'm gonna have to try to duplicate this on my E-M1 Mark II since it's virtually the same camera. I never noticed the exposure being off like that but I don't use the E-M1 much for vlogging.
The E-M1X has auto ISO in video but the E-M1mk2 doesn't. Of course it's an Olympus turn on in the menus thing so it's possible it's on the 5.3 and just wasn't turned on for him. Might also not be available like on the 1.2, need someone on the inside to answer for us since it's not available yet.
I would try setting the exposure setting do that the camera meters using the focus point (not the default centre of the composition). To do so go to cog menu, exposure, set 'spot', this links metering point to focus point. Love your vids!
Definitely was underwhelmed by the EM5 III. It's autofocus was good but not amazing. Auto exposure wasn't working in video. The image was very soft compared to my G85 and even Sony x3000 lol. No audio, autofocus or digital stabilization in slow mo. Terrible menu system. I could go on :) Definitely not worth the money over the G85. You're better off with the EM1 II but you lose slow mo.

LOL I am an EM1 Mk2 user and totally agree with you on the menu! Don't know why autoexposure doesn't work in shutter-priority (probably running out of the smallest f-stop on the lens in bright daylight?). My EM1's autoexposure works beautifully in Program mode with available compensation otherwise I use full manual. Oh, one more thing, Olympus new phase detection AF doesn't work as well with Panasonic lenses. Thumbs up, love your video.
That would be sweet having a camera store that actually stocks things nearby. I think the most recent cameras ours has is an a6000 and a D750. Real cutting edge stuff.
Stabalization is good, gotta give it to em there. Focus seems off at points, not crispy. Exposure issues, crap. We keep searching for the perfect camera. 😊
Wait what?! This is the best cam you tried do far. That stabilisation is sooo good. Not even close. The Panasonic wobbles like crazy. I think you will always find something bad to say..
Love my X-T3, autofocus is good...not great. It can get heavy though if you're trying to vlog and the lack of IBIS is something you can't get away from.
@@mhuff29 Thanks for the info. I do outdoor content...bushcraft and camping. Most likely it would be on a tripod. The Gopro is for motion in my kit. Looking for a camera to replace my D5300 Nikon. Also have a Sony AX53 which is my primary camera.
MegaWoodswalker I will be reviewing the x-t3 on my new channel, I will try and do some outdoor tripod work to see what distances it works at. I know it’s not fast, but lens’s the 1.4 primes aren’t known for speed. The f2 primes I heard were better.
Thanks; I had not understood you had already done an evaluation of the Olympus EM5 Mark III when I previously suggested you review that camera. Clearly from your testing the EM5 MKIII can't handle exposure compensation while in video mode. Good review!
Hey man, Olympus fanboy here, have you ever checked out an Olympus TG-Tracker? It looks super cool and possibly perfect for your needs. It even comes with a small handle. And seriously, we need the extended intro music back with punchline specific to the content. It was such an awesome little special touch.
The Olympus line up is made for photographers. Photographers.... "Hey Stacey, just point your face that way, but your eyes my way". *CLICK* - *Chimps the image* "I missed focus...." Y'LOSER.
@@brendancameraphoto2121 Correct. To angle the screen up you first need to flip it out. It's not quick, convenient or discrete for street. It's a feature mostly, if not specifically, designed for video.
sadly they didn't put the auto-iso for exposure compensation. folks are sending requests to olympus to put it in for the em5iii which is possible through firmware updates. they're marketing it as the perfect vlogging camera but took out this important feature!
You’re hilarious EVERY MILLISECOND!!! Hahahaha literally not one moment goes by when I don’t giggle inside at your quips and sarcastic frustration lol 😂
It seems to be the IBS that Olympus rule at. Combined with any lens OIS makes it a very stable camera for stills photography. I did hear you sacrificed some features in AF when filming at 120p as well.
Kasey, just because you couldn't figure it out does not mean it does not exist. Did you ask the Olympus rep how to turn on auto exposure in compensation for your face in movie mode?
We successfully completed our latest vinyl release titled Eat meat with a spoon. We road tested it at concerts. Groupies love it. We stay in shape to enhance performances. No vegetables except cucumbers for the band.
I think you should ignore the rule of thirds - that's for photographers. Then you can set metering mode to center (like Gordon), and watch yourself exposed perfectly every time.
To my eye, the AF was just OK. The IBIS was def better, but the overall picture quality DEFINITELY goes to the Panny. Though by watching all your vlogs, history has taught me it could be the EOBUAC setting (Error Occurred Between User And Camera)
I get your issues. The exposure stuff on the EM5 has room for improvement. The one thing that doesn't make a lot of sense is the non sharpness of the 15mm 1.7 on the Em5. I have that lens and when I use it on EM1 Mk2 its super sharp. The two cameras essentially share the same sensor, so it's a bit confusing why it looked so bad. I use my 15mm 1.7 on my G9 as well, and it looks identical essentially on both bodies. Thx for another awesome video man.
Ahh. I have seen other folks vlogging with that thing and it looks pretty solid. I really think if you got to know it just a bit better you’d like it more. That Olympus menu though. It’s too customizable. It’s complex for sure man.
At 13:12 you can see the Olympus ointment fly hitting you! :D I'd be curious what the Olympus reps said about autofocus and exposure settings for vlogging. Did you talk to them about this? To me it seems the autofocus was off in a lot of the shots.
Actually I am really curious how did Henry's approach you. Did all your walking around the store finally pis...convince them? Please make a video about it. An intense boardroom negotiation is appreciated.
I love my E-M1ii, but it often over exposes. However, I get that thing into lightroom or premiere pro and knock it down 0.6 ev on Olympus natural profile and I get the best skin tones, colour and contrast of any camera (I've used them all). I have proof.
I’m so glad Canon announced the development of the 1DX Mark III today. That means we will have a video this Saturday??? I very much enjoyed having breakfast watching last Saturday’s video! 😉😉
You have to adjust ISO while shooting in manual mode my dude. That was one of my biggest gripe with the EM5ii. It would let me do auto ISO in video mode and set manual. And, that menu system is atrocious! But, you get use to it. :)
Oh this is disappointing. I was series about getting this camera but you're right about the exposure comp in your video. As for the other gremlins, I think it does do better with native lenses from other vids I've seen. Having to adjust exposure comp in video all the time would be seriously annoying. Firm ware update needed for that one. IBIS was killer though, almost worth it for that alone.
Olympus IBIS was a game changer but I'd forgotten how bad their menu system is. Fucking awful. Not sure I'm so bothered about exposure compensation, can you not just set a function dial to change exposure or is everything disabled when recording?
I think you can adjust the metering by setting your camera up in stills mode then hitting the record button instead of going to movie mode. I'm not 100% sure. Haven't used Olympus in a while.
Exposure was just wrong. It didn't focus on your eyes every time, often slightly in front, perhaps your nose or chin. Worth another go with some help from Olympus on what went wrong, the best settings to use, and have a shave.
You're right...bro just please let me know are sony A6400 has a great AF with slow mo??and if we use it with lens has image stabilization can we get problem with it? which lens you prefer? thanks for your help...
You are always so funny 😀 it is several week that I would like to buy a camera to start making nature videos, I have Sony and M4/3 lenses and just got a Panasonic GX80/GX85 but AF-C is unusable and also focus peaking is pretty bad. Any M4/3 alternative to Sony a6400?
Sadly the Olumpus is geared towards photos while the Panasonic is more of a video camera. That's worth bearing in mind if you are going to invest in this alleged new camera which is essentially the superior EM1in a plastic body.
The EM5 was as stable as the Rock of Gibraltar. Autofocus was lighting quick smooth and accurate. Throw the 17mm f1.2 on for blurry backgrounds and hope Olympus fixes the video AE soon. Gold baby Solid Vloggers Gold
@@cameraconspiracies One thing you need to understand, is that the E-M5 is a photo camera first, video second. You have to set it up properly for video. You took it straight out of the store, bet you didn't take the time to set it up. You just expect it to work as you wished. the E-M5 with the proper lens never stopped focusing on you, that was impressive. I agree that it needs improvements regarding auto exposure, but I'm sure Olympus will fix that in the next firmware. That clip you are showing, clearly proofs you did not set the camera properly for video. No camera looks that crappy now-a-days.
@@MuertoInc I spent about 30 minutes just going through the menu setting it up the way I wanted, asking the Olympus reps questions when I couldn't find a feature. It's not user error, the camera just can't auto expose in the mode I chose. It can't even do auto iso in full manual. And the Olympus reps themselves had no answers for as to why it wasn't auto exposing in video, so you can't blame me. If an Olympus rep couldn't figure it out either, then it's probably the cameras fault.
Any update on this? I went to an Olympus promo event for the EM5-3 today and brought this up, and that rep hadn't heard of this problem. Others in the audience seemed to think it was a setting hidden in the menus . Did you try the steps suggested above by Izan ashari? Thanks for all the laught and great info!
Regarding video AF, if it's like the E-M1X setting the video C-AF speed to -1 makes it way too slow. I imagine Olympus' think was +1 is for sports, 0 is for general use, and -1 is for glaciers; it's really kind of dumb. The 1080p on the E-M5iii seemed pretty soft compared to the G85 as well.
Don’t know if you went through the cameras settings and went to the video icon and put Manuel mode on than you should be able to mess with your exposure
I just confirmed there is a massive difference in video AF performance in 4k and C4k. There is a night and day difference, much quicker and smoother. It's still usable in 1080p just not nearly as good. Of course I'm using the E-M1 ii though, it's supposed to be the same thing.

you should balance the Fuji xt3 on a Olympus to get a stabilized image out of the Fuji...haha With kit lens, do you mean the 18-55 or that entrance XC kit lens? Maybe, if you start doing intensive forearm workout training, you could combine the Fuji and a dji. But I guess your search for the perfect camera has to continue... good luck brother (z6 maybe, Heard- they’ll be on sale)

He can buy x-h2 and after keep still looking for even more perfect camera till x-h3 comes :) will see if zoom lens ois is enough on xt3 for his work.
It won't end. It'll still be heavy. What he wants is actually lil pany, light and ibis, with sony af and auto exposure or x3000 successor
With what lenses lol
@@trym2121 Haha yeah the ideal vlogging camera would really be something like a DJI Osmo Pocket II.
Gimbal beats any kind of OIS or EIS image stabilization. It's a tiny camera with a handle. Just needs a small but high res oled display and some kind of integrated microphone array / shotgun mic.

Ahh. I have seen other folks vlogging with that thing and it looks pretty solid. I really think if you got to know it just a bit better you’d like it more. That Olympus menu though. It’s too customizable. It’s complex for sure man.
As an EM-5 M2 owner I have to say, the G85 looks miles ahead in video. Stills, if at all there is any difference it would be academic.
At 13:12 you can see the Olympus ointment fly hitting you! :D
I'd be curious what the Olympus reps said about autofocus and exposure settings for vlogging. Did you talk to them about this? To me it seems the autofocus was off in a lot of the shots.
They had no answers for me, they were photographers.
@@cameraconspiracies Damn hahaha
Actually I am really curious how did Henry's approach you. Did all your walking around the store finally pis...convince them? Please make a video about it. An intense boardroom negotiation is appreciated.
I love my E-M1ii, but it often over exposes. However, I get that thing into lightroom or premiere pro and knock it down 0.6 ev on Olympus natural profile and I get the best skin tones, colour and contrast of any camera (I've used them all). I have proof.
It overcompensates its own sensor size.
I like your style man!
Good to hear that this is not the perfect camera. I was honestly very worried that this channel was about to be closed down.
And the quest for the perfect camera still continues!
Best vlog camera you’ve tested. Buy this
Nice try Olympus.
Xt-3 is an awesome camera. Good autofocus, no flip screen and zero stabilization.
I’m so glad Canon announced the development of the 1DX Mark III today. That means we will have a video this Saturday??? I very much enjoyed having breakfast watching last Saturday’s video! 😉😉
Did you try spot exposure metering on your face?
2:49
You have to adjust ISO while shooting in manual mode my dude. That was one of my biggest gripe with the EM5ii. It would let me do auto ISO in video mode and set manual. And, that menu system is atrocious! But, you get use to it. :)
Oh this is disappointing. I was series about getting this camera but you're right about the exposure comp in your video. As for the other gremlins, I think it does do better with native lenses from other vids I've seen. Having to adjust exposure comp in video all the time would be seriously annoying. Firm ware update needed for that one. IBIS was killer though, almost worth it for that alone.
Olympus IBIS was a game changer but I'd forgotten how bad their menu system is. Fucking awful. Not sure I'm so bothered about exposure compensation, can you not just set a function dial to change exposure or is everything disabled when recording?
Kasey every camera and lens combo you tested was awesome because you sir are awesome.
Thanks for making this video. You just saved my money for november 21.
I think you can adjust the metering by setting your camera up in stills mode then hitting the record button instead of going to movie mode. I'm not 100% sure. Haven't used Olympus in a while.
Exposure was just wrong. It didn't focus on your eyes every time, often slightly in front, perhaps your nose or chin. Worth another go with some help from Olympus on what went wrong, the best settings to use, and have a shave.
You're right...bro just please let me know are sony A6400 has a great AF with slow mo??and if we use it with lens has image stabilization can we get problem with it? which lens you prefer? thanks for your help...
Best channel on TH-cam
Auto focus and stabilization seemed fine, and i loved the colors / overall look. But the metering was bullshit, and so its the $1.655 price tag.
Claudio Trajtemberg That’s kit pricing.
You are always so funny 😀 it is several week that I would like to buy a camera to start making nature videos, I have Sony and M4/3 lenses and just got a Panasonic GX80/GX85 but AF-C is unusable and also focus peaking is pretty bad. Any M4/3 alternative to Sony a6400?
Sadly the Olumpus is geared towards photos while the Panasonic is more of a video camera. That's worth bearing in mind if you are going to invest in this alleged new camera which is essentially the superior EM1in a plastic body.
I wonder if you turned off digital IS if auto-exposure would work then
we're a year later now, did they fix the firmware?
The EM5 was as stable as the Rock of Gibraltar. Autofocus was lighting quick smooth and accurate. Throw the 17mm f1.2 on for blurry backgrounds and hope Olympus fixes the video AE soon. Gold baby Solid Vloggers Gold
The dude is hysterical. 😂
Maybe they'll add auto exposure in a software update.
The olympus had the sharpest imaging. I think you are in denial. Your Gordon laing is hilarious. 👍
Maybe watch this clip again lol th-cam.com/video/tM4q4TtWC8E/w-d-xo.html
@@cameraconspiracies One thing you need to understand, is that the E-M5 is a photo camera first, video second. You have to set it up properly for video. You took it straight out of the store, bet you didn't take the time to set it up. You just expect it to work as you wished. the E-M5 with the proper lens never stopped focusing on you, that was impressive. I agree that it needs improvements regarding auto exposure, but I'm sure Olympus will fix that in the next firmware. That clip you are showing, clearly proofs you did not set the camera properly for video. No camera looks that crappy now-a-days.
@@MuertoInc I spent about 30 minutes just going through the menu setting it up the way I wanted, asking the Olympus reps questions when I couldn't find a feature. It's not user error, the camera just can't auto expose in the mode I chose. It can't even do auto iso in full manual. And the Olympus reps themselves had no answers for as to why it wasn't auto exposing in video, so you can't blame me. If an Olympus rep couldn't figure it out either, then it's probably the cameras fault.
Any update on this? I went to an Olympus promo event for the EM5-3 today and brought this up, and that rep hadn't heard of this problem. Others in the audience seemed to think it was a setting hidden in the menus . Did you try the steps suggested above by Izan ashari? Thanks for all the laught and great info!
Regarding video AF, if it's like the E-M1X setting the video C-AF speed to -1 makes it way too slow. I imagine Olympus' think was +1 is for sports, 0 is for general use, and -1 is for glaciers; it's really kind of dumb. The 1080p on the E-M5iii seemed pretty soft compared to the G85 as well.
"The EM1-II is better"
Get it. Show us!
Do you have it on auto iso? Otherwise do you expect it to adjust exposure?
EM5 has that movie feel 🍿
You must live in a city that has a large number of Vloggers, since no one looks at you funny filming with two cameras. :)
Church street is definitely a shadowy street. For more reasons than one 😅.
Is that slow-mo street crossing move patented yet?
doesn't the G85 also have a Digital IS mode on top of the IBIS? my GH5 has that and it actually somewhat fixes the warpy shit on wide angle
Yes but it makes things worse lol. I tried it on the Laowa 7.5mm.
Could the Oly EM5 have reached the end of the adjustment. Could a ND filter have helped but it will not fit on the 7-14 !!!
Best stabilization I’ve seen
Don’t know if you went through the cameras settings and went to the video icon and put Manuel mode on than you should be able to mess with your exposure
No auto iso in manual mode.
I just confirmed there is a massive difference in video AF performance in 4k and C4k. There is a night and day difference, much quicker and smoother. It's still usable in 1080p just not nearly as good. Of course I'm using the E-M1 ii though, it's supposed to be the same thing.
rtfm?

you should balance the Fuji xt3 on a Olympus to get a stabilized image out of the Fuji...haha
With kit lens, do you mean the 18-55 or that entrance XC kit lens?
Maybe, if you start doing intensive forearm workout training, you could combine the Fuji and a dji.
But I guess your search for the perfect camera has to continue... good luck brother (z6 maybe, Heard- they’ll be on sale)
