Easter Island - Olympus Live Time Tutorial

[@corrbox2]

Very interesting. Great shooting! 👍 📷

[@deenugent473]

Love this feature as well as the LiveComp. Thank you sir for the video.

[@carlosdlfoto]

Hi Denis. Excellent explanation and examples. Now I understand Live Time. Big thanks!!

[@poorsjm]

Wow! I just played with live comp for the first time at our fireworks show. So fun! Now I want to experiment with live time too!

[@SCHOOLOFLIGHT]

I’m stoked you enjoyed it. I was actually out last night using live comp for an epic shot and it was wild.

[@markhoffman9655]

Great demonstration of the feature

[@neilcousineau4956]

Excellent. Well explained and to die for location demonstrated. Since I can’t afford Easter Island I’ll try it closer to home.

So good to hear a bad arse Aussie on You Tube. Bloody great vid! Thanks Denis. Cheers, Antoine (Sydney)

[@SCHOOLOFLIGHT]

An absolute pleasure!

[@azjoe_6310]

Excellent tutorial! I just got my transfer from Canon dSLRs to Olympus and I am amazed at the features on my 5 year-old E-M5 mkii. This one is awesome.

[@SCHOOLOFLIGHT]

Thanks for the kind words

[@johnplumb2342]

Great explanation of this functionality, I’ll give it a try next time out.

[@jeffogden6060]

Really nice explanation and demo of this great feature. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Jeff

[@ridealongwithrandy]

Amazing video guys, love that live time on my "X"

[@bobdilg2838]

Helpful, thanks. As a side note, I think on the new OM-1, the camera needs to be in B mode as opposed to M mode on this older camera.

[@SCHOOLOFLIGHT]

No worries mate! And yes you are right there is a change to the OM1. Have fun.

[@aasolvi]

Superb! Thanks for sharing :-)

[@vincentraw]

Absolutely STUNNING!! Olympus will be my next camera afterf over 30 years of Canon (sorry Canon)!

[@evab1410]

Really good explanation! I just learned about this on a Olympus event but it was a bit too fast for me to really understand how it works, but now I do :)

[@JulesMoyaert_photo]

👍Thank you! (I'm falling in love with Olympus - now shooting Nikon since 1992).

[@davidponce1901]

Thanks foe the great vid!!!

[@todanrg3]

Does pressing the shutter button second time induce any camera shake? Or does not matter because of long exposure?

[@Serenitees]

Hi Dennis! I am getting ready to change out to an Olympus camera just to get these Long Exposure features. I noticed in your video that your camera has the same fully articulating screen that flips out as my current Panasonic GX8. Can you tell me which model(s) will have this? Thanks for the lovely video and GREAT location!

[@adrianland]

Hi! yes, awesome... Usually I use Live Comp mode... I will try Live Time mode. What's the difference ? I got E-M1 Mk II... Thanks.

[@joennick1]

Nice video! My tripod is on its last legs (no pun intended!), what it the tripod and head you are using? Thanks.

[@royd63uk]

Noise reduction on or off?

[@Palateth]

That should be pretty convenient for the light painting too, as you can see what you got and "fill the holes" before the end of the exposure without having to use the Live Comp and the numeric blending the Live Comp is creating. :)

[@MDMiller60]

Mr. Living, how do you feel about exposing all the way over to the right, so that the histogram does almost touch the right side, and then bring the exposure down in post? It's supposed to control noise.

[@succulentdiaryz1510]

Amazing video! Wish I can take photos like that too, I have a question, do the lumix gx9 came out with this live composition mode too. But it’s more for taking photos of a moving person or something? I’m not sure. Can you tell me if they are the same thing or what’s the difference? Thank you so much!

[@raymondearley623]

do you manually focus or auto? I have the Olympus 10 mark 2 so i don't think it has the ir preview screen that yours seemed to have to focus

[@raymondearley623]

Also might want to mention to turn of the IS when on tripod.. your images looked fantastic

[@thelonesoldier4518]

When I try this why does my pictures come out just bright? Someone help plz?

[@idzakaiasan]

Perhaps you are shooting in too bright a sky? Try it later at night because if you do this in daytime you will need an ND filter to get proper exposure.

[@SCHOOLOFLIGHT]

Hi Mate, try live composite during the day.

[@brendonwhite2382]

Yeah great video...just about to try some long exposure photography, bought some ND filters but didnt realize my Pen F i bought recently and didnt no it had this feature lol.

[@steveC2307]

Absolutely brilliant video. Thank you! One question - I have recently purchased the OM 1 and wondering how does the camera focus in darkness? My results have not been sharp. Is manual focus the way to go? Necessary to turn off IBIS? Thanks again Denis.

[@SCHOOLOFLIGHT]

Hi Steve. Focusing in the dark is complicated use. A bright torch helps. The OM1 has starry sky autofocus as well.

[@SCHOOLOFLIGHT]

But always manual focus in the dark. If not starry sky.
