![]() A firmware update was subsequently released with EFC, but it only works in single shot mode.įirstly, I must apologize for the delay in this review, but it’s difficult to write a meaningful summary of something you have not shot with (though it never ceases to amaze me how often this happens both online and in print). The initial review unit did not, because it was a preproduction unit with a shutter module from a different batch. On top of that, I tested >80 E-M1 bodies including >70 at Olympus Malaysia HQ, all of which exhibited the problem. Different users may have different thresholds of acceptability and different levels of shot discipline and not see any problems. *I demand critically sharp pixels and can achieve them with the same camera under other conditions. ![]() We were amongst the first to use the original E-M5 for video because of its stabiliser, and continued to use the E-M1s for video (including all of the workshop videos after The Fundamentals), Olympus and I then parted ways, and it appears they found new champions less demanding of their equipment. Thirdly, there was no real solution to the shutter shock problem of the E-M1, which produced unusable images under basically every shooting condition – from 1/90s to 1/350s*. ![]() Secondly, my output requirements have changed the cameras have never had sufficient resolution to make a meaningfully-sized Ultraprint. The reasons were simple: firstly, camera technology has moved on what was an impressive size/quality ratio in 2012 is not in 2015. Many of the long-suffering readers of this site will know that I had a period of enthusiasm for M4/3 gear (and specifically the original E-M5) before that abruptly came to a halt in early 2014. I am working on fixing the hard/sharp/uncomfortable edges of the battery grip with a silicone putty compound called Sugru, and will post the results in a future post.īetter late than never (or, I finally get around to trying out the second coming): the Olympus’ E-M5 Mark II. My usual deployment: handheld video, with HLD-8 battery grip, Zeiss ZM 1.4/35 Distagon rin an adaptor, and a Zoom H5 audio recorder. ![]()
