Do you know if focus stacking can be combined with hand held high res mode?

my Sony A7R2 also has a similar feature where the camera will give me 2 pictures one crop and one original. I don't recall such features on my A6400. may be because my A7R2 has 40MP to do the cropping. and important thing is the subject is still in the center, so it knows where the crop.

I've attached it to the lens Fn button on the 12-100 F/4 I just got. Looking forward to giving it a whirl with my EM1 MkII. Cheers Andy.

I do love tiger

Hi Andy, great video by the way. Just wondering, currently i have the 300mm F4 PRO and am getting the most out of it on every widlife shooting. I have been doing photgraphy for just over a year now so am still learning across the board. I was looking to either invest into the 150-400 f/4.5 int he next 6 months or so. Do you think it is worth taking the 150-600mm instead, having previously shot with the 300mm? I understand that it is a bit of difficult question to answer because there are many factors involved in this, but overall i am just looking for some insight and how to spend my money in the best way possible. I know you cannot go wrong with the 150-400, it is a cracking lens and have borrowed it a couple of times for usage. Absolutely phenomenal to be honest. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated!

In this video you shown some pics. Which lens do you use to capture? 1500-400mm?

You know what...I'm inspired...It's already set up now...thanks Andy...

what lenses are best for this type off trip? I have canon 100 500 and the 200-800 rf .

A lot of people are saying that this lens is not sharp enough and is not worth the money.

Thanks Andy - very useful! I've just set mine to subject selection lock - very useful when you have multiple faces in a frame for example but want the camera to track the same one permanently.

Back lit shorts are very popular with OM ambassadors It Obliterators any fine details the subject has to offer. This method has its place in photography And fits in with OM systems capabilities. But do you have to spend a shed load of money to get the same result as Andy I don’t think you do in fact I know you don’t. I have the greatest respect for Andy his style suits OM Systems down to the ground.

Roe Deer wish I’d taken in Andy I cannot praise it enough. 👌👏👌👏. I have got the book it’s a good read

It’s not just ISO number. It’s how much camera sensor will have to compensate between 6400 iso and given lighting conditions. If you shoot dark football field on Friday night with 1/1000 SS with 6400 or 8000 iso you’ll see the camera struggles. If you expose your image to bright sky while shooting BIF, you’ll find unrecoverable shadows at iso 800!! Take it easy with your excitement. The camera is good but people should know it’s limitations..

So isn’t the digital teleconverter essentially the same as cropping the image to get the same view?? I’m not grasping the advantage other than the teleconverter lets you see your composition prior to taking the picture.

Thanks Andy great video the only thing is I didn’t buy a £6500 lens to have the detail Blown to bits with Back lite shots. This lens is so soft I had to resort to this method. Which I could have achieved with the 40 150mm with 1.4 converter. Thanks for getting me out of trouble that lens is now in the cupboard I’m back to using the 300 mm prime.

Awesome. I just tried this yesterday on a Bald Eagle nest that was 450 feet away on my 300/4 and was astonished at the results. I’d always dismissed “digital zoom” but this resulted in a couple of keepers!

Thank you. Very useful and love your total enthusiasm 👍

I’ve just bought a new MacBook M3 (my 13yr old one finally died…it did me well and paid for itself ten fold…). I’ve been using my iPad Pro but of course PS for iPad doesn’t have denoise AI….so imaging my absolute joy at trying it for the first time yesterday on some wedding photos in RAW (the photos have already been processed and given to the happy couple)……it’s an absolute game changer for low light (especially inside a church where flash and shutter noise are a no no, I use a OM-D E1mkii nowadays after moving from Nikon…) I’m completely blown away by the sharpness and lack of noise, and arty mono images look even better!…..this is the second piece of tech you have introduced me too Andy, the first being the digital teleconverter which I initially dismissed but after trying it because of your advice I have more tools in my arsenal (no…not THAT Arsenal 🤣) thanks Andy……away to Northumberland tomorrow and the Farnes again so new tools, new art to make!

great video. would have liked to see the settings at the bottom . for us newbies

Very helpful. We now live about half an hour away and I imagine I’ll get an annual membership.

I have both the 1.4 and 2x converters having just moved to OM-1. I found this video really useful as I was using the digital converter with the 12-100 f4. I’m still working on that combination.

Andy I use Olympus I’m an amateur it’s a bit of fun. But you’re a professional surely it would be better if you use Canon full frame with a much better iso performance. So much better in low light conditions.

I only just found your channel Andy, and I am very glad I did. This is golden. This video is the last push I needed to get an OM-1. I've been on the fence all the time because of the FF talk and the so called worse performance of a smaller sensor. Your images are stunning, and they truly motivate me to get out making pictures and spending time in nature. As for lenses. What is your primary lens? I can imagine either the 150-400 mm F/4.5 or the 300 mm F/4? Thanks for this video.

Noise and ISO seems to be the only thing Olympus ambassadors want to talk about. they imply it doesn’t matter it doesn’t matter.

I suppose Andy with these back light shots no detail required It would be achievable with a relatively cheap point and shoot camera. Always enjoy your video thanks.

Neat! Also I like your hat!

A really unusual use of a 90mm macro, amazing portrait lens in daylight for this.. bloody brilliant & unique shots of hummingbirds.

I recently added the Olympus 1.4x & 2.0x converters, never even thought of the digital converter. I also shoot fine JPEGs as standard as never really needed raw images for most of my end requirements. Just tested in on my EM-1 Mkiii - works brilliantly on the 90mm macro, the 100-400mm & the 40-150mm F4 Pro lens. Which can also use the 2 teleconverters in mentioned earlier.

Since watched a few video including this one ive gone out early this morning and shot a few Springtime mating birds at a local park with the newly acquired Em1x mated to a Nikon 300mm pf f4. Strictly manual focus i was able to nailed sharp handheld photos at 1200mm f4!!! Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic footage 👏

Hi Andy, sorry about the Hammers 😦, Thanks for this very informative video. One question please, is it possible to fix focus (AF, etc) before activating the Digi Converter and then switch to it. Will the focus remain? Up the Gunners Glyn

great video Andy; I used it for taking pictures of the moon in combination with high resolution mode handheld with 150-400 mm TC at 500 mm with great results

Thanks Andy. Is there any way to turn it off? I noticed that sometimes during bird in flight tracking I accidentally touch it, which is trowing the focus off

Beautiful images. Thank you!

So thats what makes all your pictures orange 🤣🤣

did you use the digital 2x tele on this trip?

Bird detecion is great, but what subject detection do you use for lions, elephants, bears, moose and other wildlife? Can you use the one for cats and dogs?

Thanks for this great advice.

Thanks! I needed this! 👌

Absolutely stunning work….

For a safari trip, would you consider this lens or the 40-150 f2.8 to be a better complement to the 300 F4?

K čemu je toto reálně použitelné? Ten objektiv má v přepočtu clony proti FF na výsledné fotografii bokeh rovný f12.6 a stojí jako objektiv na FF který má poloviční hodnotu (f6,3) clony 😂 na čipu o třikrát větší hustotě tranzistorů a výrazně vyšším DR. Tohle je hodně odvážný tah od OM System, když už mám fotit na 4/3 budu si už kvůli přepočtu výsledné světelnosti snažit používat objektivy s co nejlepší světelností a ne naopak a jestli za to někomu stojí to ohnisko, tak už bych si za ty peníze koupil hvězdářský dalekohled. To sklo má na delší vzdálenosti asi kilometr hloubku ostrosti, nehledě na to, že za o něco horších světelných podmínek z toho polezou fotky v dramatické kvalitě, vzhledem k snášenlivosti vyšších ISO hodnot a m43. Za mě, pokud to někdo chce, ať si to koupí, nicméně smysl mi to nedává a cena? Ta je úplně mimo, ale OM System je poslední dobou hodně mimo. Jako první vydá nový makro objektiv zase na m43 a za opět šílenou cenu je z převážné části plastový. Pak přijde s “novým” tělem které vlastně dostalo jen vylepšený software a má pouze rebrandovanou značku a nestydí si za tyto drobné vylepšení říct částku rovnou novému fotoaparátu a další je tahle černá díra za cenu pevného skla.

Holy Crap! Those photos are freeking gorgeous. My OM-1 mark ii arrived yesterday. This isn't my first foray into MFT's but this time I am committed to figuring it out and making it work. If more of the KZbinrs talking about MFT had photos like yours, OM would be the dominate brand. Subscribed. Do you have any videos on how you develop your photos in photoshop?

This is gold..I am guilty of trying to keep iso low. Glad I am across this vid.❤

Hi Andy, wonderful shots, I use whatever ISO is needed. As a side note, I use the highest ISO my OMDs will go to, and use a pinhole body cap with sepia for that 1850s look. Cheers!

Thank you!

Andy will this work with the 40-150 f2.8 with a 2 X teleconverter as well?

Great energy and clear information. I’d dismissed this feature, thinking it was a simple crop. I tested myself and yes it’s terrific. I’m thinking this is a compute function in the camera that uses the sensor shift to interpolate (like the HD shot) followed by an in camera crop. Do you have any idea if this is what’s going on? Anyway, for static subjects in good light it is a freebie. Best tip I’ve had in years. Thanks. Oh btw, I assigned mine directly to the lens function button. It’s so fast to toggle. I frame and focus in 1X and then ‘zoom’ with the lens button. It’s sort of addictive. Hammers, eh? Oh well …

Absolutely beautiful! Just learning about wildlife in preparation for a safari in 2025 (hopefully). I have the OM-1. Does the new OM-1 mark ii offer more improvements for photographing large animals? Thank you.
