Ok here are some shots I took over the past couple of days. All images shot with auto white balance and in manual exposure mode. Shooting Info for the waterfowl images,t 1/2500sec, ISO400, em1 mark2 with the 300mmf4. Land birds were all shot at 1/1250 sec, Iso 200, 300f4. All images at f4.
Processed on my laptop so hopefully I haven't screwed up the sharpening or something!
Edited: I can see I compressed them too much for the upload, I'll try redoing it.
Beautiful shots all. I esp. like the 3rd duck down=just a great pose.
I see you are blessed with Cardinals too
Too early to say but do like what I've seen so far. But if you don't shoot birds and wildlife don't even bother with the Mk II. The E-M 1 can do almost anything except fast-action photography.

Anyone please critique my best guess on these
My C1 is for things that move fast. It's under constant evaluation currently but is like this:
ISO auto
WB auto
Vivid (for jpg gimping)
9 focus point
C-AF (no tracking)
IS on PL100-400 OFF
S-IS off
M-IS off
Card 1 RAW
Card 2 L F (is this the best jpg setting
4:3 ratio
and other like 4K that dont matter for C1
Ctr-weight metering
C-AF mechanical 1/1600
Aperture wide open, 9 of 10 times I'll be using the PL100-400 so maybe F5.6
If any have better suggestion I'm all ears.
I was thinking of a C2 for landscape but haven't gotten far in that.
C3 would be portraits but I don't shoot portraits
I always use the LSF (Large Superfine) setting for my jpg'. You only need to activate it in the menu once and then it shows up in thr SCP from then on.

You'll probably laugh but I like the sound of the shutter. In electronic just dorking around I'd fire off a ton of shots before realizing it.
I think....correct if wrong please....that mechanical's only advantage nowadays is for the video guys who don't want jello'ing ??
On my GX8 I relied on electronic because of the shutter shock; but I think (hope) Oly has addressed this.
Under certain conditions you can get weird artifacts with stills as well.
Yes, but it's not been perfected yet - so you can't have anything moving including flowing water and leaves blowing in the wind, people walking, etc. You can possibly take better pano images and merging them in LR or PS.

And 80mp raw - which is what I'd like very much!

I don't think theres anywhere near 80MP of detail in the image. I'll have to play around with it more, but I suspect it is considerably less, but it's definitely more than the native resolution.

It's definitely been my experience with the Pen-F that you're better off stitching a pano for landscapes but the Hi-Res mode works really well for product and giclee photography as it eliminates color moire.

Maybe not. In the TN EM5II review, Tony said that the results from the HI RES shots were better than the D810. He tested it doing product photography.

Probably around 50 megs since that is the resolution of the jpg option Olympus recommends. Still, that's pretty amazing for such a little sensor.
I would take that with 10 grains of salt. Resolution by itself is not everything. A larger sensor with lesser MP is better than a smaller sensor with more MP.
