Great tutorial as usual, Rob. An observation/question, however. On my OM1, I use the AEL button to provide a switch between matrix and spot metering. However, when AEL is set to spot, with the default metering mode being matrix, the metering point does not follow the focus point but stays locked in the centre. If you have the default metering set to spot, then the metering mode does indeed follow the focus point as in your video. Also, the spot follow function only works for the single dot focus point and for no other fixed or custom focus point settings (like the small 4 dot, or even a single dot in custom for example). Do you see this on the OM1? The way I get a usable metering switch function (with spot following focus), is therefore to have the default set to single dot spot, and the AEL button set to matrix.

Thank you for such a concise guide to this function. Now I'm off to practice, practice and a bit more practice 👍

Thanks a lot for this nice tuto . Detailed and clear as usual !

Very godo and ver crear explanation. Thank you so much😊

Oldie but goldie 👍🏻

I bought an OM-1 for $AUD1,450 (about $USD850) with a 12-month warranty from a very good dealer. When it arrived, it was like a lightly used demo model. Apart from the camera, everything else in the box was still wrapped in plastic. Absolutely beautiful camera.

Thanks Rob, so well explained. A very Happy New Year to you 🎉🥂

👌

These are handy tips. Thanks for sharing. A big LIKE from Singapore.

Thank you so much for All the Exploration Videos. They are so valuable. I am searching for a possibility tu use the "ring-switch" around the AEL-Button to switch between AF and MF. Since the OM 20mm F1.4 does not have a Focus-Clutch, I wanted to be Able to switch otherwise and not Lösung a Button. I was wondering wether the mentioned Modes 1 and 3 (Back Button Focus can be used as MF if you Donut press the AEL-Button) could be set to the "Ring-Switch" around the AEL-Button. In this case I would not Lose apotheke Fn-Button.

Brilliant tutorial Rob, greatly appreciated, all the best for 2025🎉

I learned a lot from your videos about using Olympus cameras, thank you very much! My main cameras are Panasonics but in my youth I shot with an OM10 which I still have on display. Must be some kind of Olympus virus but after getting a used E-PL8 there’s now a used E-M5 III on its way to me 😊. Looking forward to going through all your videos for this camera again.

Very helpfull

Thank you Rob great explanation.

Thanks Rob! Your instructional videos are great!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Nicely done. Thank you.

Hello from Finland! Great video, goes with the latest OM-5 also. I'm using the back button focus by setting AEL/AFL button to mode 3, and the "Half way AF" setting to 'Inoperative'. This way I can focus anywhere, then get the spot metering from anywhere and lock it by half pressing the shutter button, and finally compose and take the image by pressing all the way down. I wish happy new year to everyone!

Rob I checked the 70-200 VR F4 lens with the TC 1.7 .......you mentioned F10 with TC 1.7 , this is not correct the F stop wide open with TC 1.7 is F6.7 which is really cool to me with having 510mm with a lens that is super light set up on my Z50ii ....... thanks I just wanted to let you know what I found . Happy New Year

Spot-on (pun intended) tutorial, Rob. Happy New Year!

Wow! I have owned this camera for 4 years and didn't know any of this. Thanks for the explanation and demo!

Very informative. Thank you.

Again, another helpful and detailed explanation, thanks again Rob for all you do for us photographers.

Excellent video tutorial and explanation on this topic Rob. Thanks.

Does it shoot astrophotography good?

Does the X3 also trigger the macro flashes MF12?

Very educational. Thank you Rob. U

Thanks!

Oh Rob , this solves my problem from yesterday …. Virtual Rob problem solver is the best!! rAj london

Yipes. I just priced used Hassy with used digital back. It definitely offers better Instax quality with the Hassy vs. the Evo. Very disappointed with my Evo. Great stream.

Rob, I ll share by email a link for a m43 Reddit photographer who has amazing spider macro.

Greta review.. I bought one brilliant use it on my A6400.. hadn’t watched your channel before subscribed 😊 Pete

I wish you all a Happy New Year! Best wishes for 2025.

Happy New Year Rob! I'm still on my pen F... testing the 7.5 Laowa which I recommend even tho its manual. Turning the EXP COMP dial the image grows lighter of darker on the back of camera.... but the actual image produced is not affected by whatever I set the Exp Comp to ... just the back screen. Whats going on ... how do I gwt the exp comp to change the imager produced? Thanks

The word: CLIP/CLIP....... Around time: 45:29 Where work is being done up in the upper left corner. Photo with river/house. What does that word (Clip/click) MEAN Rob says?

Great review, love this little flash for my film cameras and EDC when I'm going light. But that Olympus flash is amazing. The articulating head is money. One of the best decisions for Olympus to include in their camera kits. So much better than a built in flash.

Thanks a lot

I love this review. I sold my 12-100mm pro lens and bought a used 14-150mm lens. The pro lens is sharper but due to its weight, I found myself leaving it home and just using my prime lenses. What good is a lens if it stays at home right? I had the 40-150mm lens and found the images to be lacking overall. For me the 14-150mm will be a walkabout lens during the day and my primes for nighttime, indoors and also street photography.

Easiest explanation I🎉

great video

Thank you for making it so easy to follow as I have just upgraded from OMD E-M10 to OM-1 which is scary for me.

My EM10 Mark ii is having the exact opposite problem and i cant find anything online to explain it

thanks for the video man!
