p.1 #8 · p.1 #8 · Force E-M1 MkII to autofocus stopped down - possible? | |
Hi again,
I tried the focus peaking function but it isn't exact enough for the purpose of setting the focus exactly right. I use the enlarging function instead, at around 7x works fine for me when critical. Both enlargement and peaking works, and simultaneously to that, when focusing manually. (The help text in the setup says peaking shouldn't work but it does.)
OK, I'll try to live with this. All I need to do is focus manually, stopped down, when super critical and using f/2 and f/2.8. Another thing that happens when doing this is a certain amount of aperture dance. Annoying but that's the way the smart camera works: when focusing manually with the DOF preview button set to sticky the aperture quickly opens up and closes down again when pressing the shutter release. Sometimes more than once.
Now what?
And here I was, buying the opposite I thought, to my RX1. I thought the E-M1 MkII shouldn't get in the way for me when shooting. Other quirks I have stumbled upon is that the aperture value doesn't change when turning the control wheel unless you have the camera lifted to the eye, you can't change the aperture when in enlarged view and perhaps something more. I'll give the camera a real try but if I can't get around these annoyances I'll sell it and search for something else.
Thanks again.
