Poof says tear this one apart/all the C/C you can muster!! This shot she got in the Orlando wetlands where we walked four miles looking for Spoonbills.
My initial comment is that if you shot RAW then there is way too much noise reduction. Since this was taken at ISO200 why don't you turn off the Noise Reduction and scale back your sharpening to the LR default. Let's see what that looks like.

Many thanks for your feedback. Indeed I thought the problem might be related to my memory cards.
I use in slot 1: Lexar 64GB SDXC 2000x UHS-II card
I use in slot 2: Lexar 64GB SDXC 1000x UHS-II card
Which download app to do a reformat of the card did Lexar give you?
I am using a Mac. Does the formatter only work on a PC or is there also one for a Mac

I have been having the same problem with my Sandisk 64GB 280MB/sec SD card. On a few occasion the MK II froze up on me, and on one occasion the camera turned off and I could not turn it back on. After taking the battery out it was OK. I put my fast card in the second slot and using a Sandisk 64GB 95MB/sec card in the first one. So far no problems.
It looks like we need some firmware update by Olympus since so many of us have the same problem.
I talked to the local Olympus dealer and he said that the problem seems to be with the higher capacity, high speed cards (64GB and up). Olympus is aware and will most likely do a firmware update.
Olympus have taken the high road and AF speed to a whole new level, so problems of this nature is not so surprising and I am not terribly disappointed, but they need to fix this problem sooner rather than later.
We normally find cedar waxwings feeding on the berry trees in San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary (and elsewhere) in the Fall and Winter months, but since I got my 300/4 and E-M1 II they have chosen to remain out of sight.
Can you please give an idea of how much you have cropped these? Particularly the last four. TIA!
Thanks mitesh. Except for the last image, all the others are heavily cropped. You are seeing the pixel level.
For the last image I took a 3000x3000 chunk and reduced it to 1988x1988 IIRC.
These birds are fairly small and I can get only so close without a blind.
The Oly 300/4 Pro can give really great in-focus areas, but depending on the OOF backdrop can result in funky bokeh.

K-H.
Thanks very much for those additional details, KH!
Perfect shot ... even the eye could be seen. Great job MM! I would suggest you post this in the Nature forum - might win you the Featured Thread of the Week. I (and I hope the others here too) will vote for you in support.

Thanks, MM. Ordered the E-M1 II and the 12-100 this morning. Got a message about 8% eBay bucks today, so that was a nice $200 bonus for buying both today from Kenmore Camera's eBay store .
Really interested to try these out and compare them to my Canon and Sony gear.
Just got home to see that the E-M1 II, PL 100-400, and 12-100 were delivered. Battery charging now, but wow, all three together feel lighter than my 1DX ! Looking forward to learning the new system in the coming days.
