Thanks for the lesson, Peter. I remember a few years ago, trying HDR in my D?, whichever it was. The outdoor scene had good dynamics, especially with the sunlight finding its way between trees. The resulting HDR image was very flat, no good. It took some doing to learn what has potential of being an acceptable HDR shot. I wish I had seen this video back then.

The old E-M5 doesn't have a dedicated HDR function, but I have set up a "My Set", which does an exposure bracketing in high speed drive mode. That served me well for several years. Of course a software for post production is needed with this method. I can recommend EasyHDR, which was mentioned in the video. It is really affordable and gives very detailed control, but is still easy and quick to use with many presets.

There is no way to take a series of exposure Bracketing on HIRES mode. Not for EM5 markII nor for M1 markII as far as I know. They have to fix it via firmware, what do you think...?

Hi Peter, Thanks for this tutorial. I've been thinking of switching to Olympus but there's a particular function that I'm looking for. My Canon 6D can shoot 2 Auto Bracketed photos but the 2nd photo has a maximum EV Increment of either (+3) or (-3) stops. By installing Magic Lantern software I can set my 2nd bracketed photo to (-5) stops if needed. I shoot property handheld using an image stabilised lens so I can have a properly exposed room and still maintain the view outside the window. Can I shoot 2 auto bracketed shots with the Olympus omd 1 mk 2 and set my 2nd shot to (-5) stops ? Thanks for your help. Darren

Thank you, Peter, Good explanation!!! I love the 12 stops of bracketing I can get with my EM1.2 and use it all the time. The only thing I would like is the ability to cut a sequence short when I don't need any more exposures. For example, if I am shooting a 7 shot bracket at sunset with a starting shutter speed of 1 second, then the dark frames are shot quite quickly but the light frames are shot at 4s, 16s and 64s. Often times I don't need the last two shots but I either have to wait for them to complete or turn off the camera to abort the 16 and 64 second frames. I could change to a 5 bracket setting but I will forget to set it back so I don't do this. Having a way to abort a HDR bracket sequence would be way more elegant. (like pressing the OK button or something like that) . This is especially important during HDR Panos where I want to minimize cloud movement between shots.

I believe that the way the RAW files are created in HDR1-2 modes differs depending on the camera. I now remember that on the PEN-F the RAW file was simply the exposure in the middle. This is confirmed in the manual for the PEN-F: In the case of [HDR1] and [HDR2], the HDR-processed image will be saved as a JPEG file. When the image quality mode is set to [RAW], the image is recorded in RAW+JPEG. The only image recorded in RAW is the image with suitable exposure. Unfortunately this means that the single RAW file is useless as far as HDR is concerned. For the E-M1 MkIII there is no such limitation, according to the manual. However the JPG and RAW files seem to differ. I shall investigate further. Cameras: PEN-F, E-M1 MkIII
