I shoot a lot of bands playing in small clubs and I'll use a flash, usually with low power, and I'll have a really long shutter speed between a 20th and 30th of a second. This freezes the action without the subjects being over blown and leaves enough time for the background to properly expose, leaving a nice, evenly lit image that doesn't look too "flashy". I just the same technique to shoot people in the bar after the show. Works well even with the dinky on camera flash!
@danduranduran3 жыл бұрын
@UCuLqYqk2h3CWkCX0rX9waGg No motion blur on the subjects if you use a flash. The shutter is open a long time but the flash is on for an instant, which freezes the action. You can do cool light trail effects by having a long exposure and a second shutter curtain flash at the end of the shot.

I personally found "touch to shoot" feature very useful in S-AF mode for relatively still compositions. This reduces time span between focus-shoot steps to the minimum leaving less room for the subject to move out the "sharp zone".

Excellent post, Peter. Olympus spoiled us with the number of focusing tools in their cams - need practice for mastery. I remember analog slrs where the most sophisticated focus aid was a choice of focusing screens you had to swap out yourself - no push button. I use back button focus set for AF-C; hold button for continuous AF or simply press and release for the same result as AF-S. Preset MF distance is good for quick response in street photography when you know in advance that your subject will be at a certain distance. Ricoh has a similar feature they call snap focus - quick full shutter press causes focus at fixed distance you already established.

Peter I recently discovered your channel, thanks for the excellent work. I have been shooting Olympus mirrorless starting with the E-PL-1 body. When the first OMD the M5 was released I just had to have one. At the same time I was a shooting Nikon DX DSLR cameras using both the D300 and D300S bodies. Over time I developed more confidence in the Olympus mirrorless line and actually used it (OMD M5) several times along with the Nikon gear on commercial shoots. A month ago I finally decided to sell off all my Nikon gear and keep only my Olympus kit. I purchased a low mileage OMD M5 MkII and couldn't be happier with the purchase. I have equipped it with the accessory grip from Olympus and am able to use the Olympus battery grip on both my M5 and M5II bodies. Now to the subject of my comment. When describing the various focus modes the Olympus bodies make available to you stated the S-AF/MF option was only available on the M1II and M1X bodies (5:32). Actually that function as well as C-AF/MF is available on all OMD bodies as far as I know.

Interesting, as usual thanks Peter. Imagine you have done separate videos instructing how to select various focus modes. Take it that Pen F, which I have, does not have Peaf, though you say both that you have never used it & the distance set may not in fact be accurate. Would've thought a firmware update could have solved the problem. Who knows, but doubt any of this fine tuning will take place following in principle sale of the imaging division. One comment that both you ,and other reviewers in general make intrigues me. You shot this with the excellent Olympus 18 2.8. Yet you say, as do reviewers of other brands of lens, that best IQ will not be achieved if lens shot wide open. If I were to make the considerable investment to purchase, most likely, the 17 1.2 , as this 35mm equivalent of approximately 50mm, has most relevance to what & how I shoot, would want to shoot wide open at 1.2. Gives v shallow dof and best light gathering. Appreciate that lens will have better glass, however most of the standard primes give excellent results. Why lose the shallow dof and ability to shoot in low light by e.g opening lens to as much as 5.6? Would appreciate your thoughts if you have time.

3,5 sec is a very good.

With em5 Mark II, I can get up to 1/6 shutter speed : flic.kr/p/PN67L1 Will try to go slower with the holding technique you mentioned here 😀

You haven't got to the point in life Peter (called 'born too long ago' :lol:) when holding a camera is not as easy as it was ; especially the heavier/longer lenses .. Using a one or two second timer does make a difference when the subject is not moving . Has a lot to with the slight (extra) movement when hitting the shutter button . Another way; the second file may well be sharper if burst mode is used. Naturally, it does depend on many varying factors . It can be amazing what you notice wrong in that seconds of watching the subject .

Who is going to pay for Olympus innovation now that they are not tried to a large corporation?? The better up their video specs so they can stay in the game
@ForsgardPeter Жыл бұрын
I agree that video specs is something OMDS should concentrate a bit more. I think Olympus innovation is going to be ok. It is a medical company. You probably meant OMDS? For that i do have an answer, but I suspect it is the investment company JIP. Eventually it will be paid by OMD, if they get profitable.

Peter, with regard to stance when holding the camera, a position that is adopted by natural history photographers is equally applicable to general photography and it keeps the camera more steady than holding it in front of the chest. Typically people are instructed to use their dominant eye which is often the right eye, well there is nothing wrong with the left eye provided of course you are using glasses if required, or have set the dioptre adjustment accordingly on the camera. The best way in my view (no pun intended!) is to turn sideways to the subject with your left side facing the subject, hold the camera in the left hand with the index finger of the right hand on the shutter release, now you will find that the left arm is braced against the body trunk and there is minimal movement, this is especially beneficial for longer lenses but hey why not try it for shorter lenses? I think instinctively many people will react saying, "oh I cant use the left eye", I think the situation is they can if they try, it just takes a little getting used to that's all. As i was about to post I have just noticed below someone has likened this to archery stance, yes that is exactly what I suggest!

The reason I am using my right eye is that with my left I can see what is going on outside the EVF. I usually keep it closed and open it every now and then to check.

Use manual focus...not even close.Maybe in the past years when autofocus was terrible, but not now, in 2019.
@ForsgardPeter5 жыл бұрын
Sometimes manual focus is in place, but you are right in most cases AF is the way to go.

I have 2 manual focus lenses for my A73, and they are all great. In low light, sometimes MF is also necessary even with AF lenses.
