  • Why I Switched to Olympus – 5 years ago

    Why I Switched to Olympus – 5 years ago

    It was five years ago when I took all my Canon gear to the local camera store here in Helsinki. In this video I will tell why and what I think now.

    I did not have to rely only on my memory. I had a blog post about that day and about the switch.

  • Olympus OM-D E-M1X – Best Exposure Settings

    Olympus OM-D E-M1X – Best Exposure Settings

    In my latest video (14.5.2019) I was talking about the experience that I have had with the E-M1 X now that I have used it for a couple of months.



    I promised to write down the best settings for exposure.

    Menu D1 > InfoSettings > LV-Info and in one of the Custom setting choose Highlight&Shadow
    Menu I > Info Settings > in one of the Custom setting choose Highlight&Shadow
    Shooting Menu 1 > Picture Mode > Muted > Contrast -2, Saturation -2
    Menu G > Keep Warm Color > Off

    Menu G > Color Space > AdobeRGB

    Menu D3 > Histogram Settings > Set Highlight to the value you want the red color to appear and the same goes with the Shadow (blue color) I have set Hightlight to 253 and Shadow to 3.

    Menu B1 > Dial Function > Set on each exposure modes the back dial to exposure compensation.

    These settings will show the image on the LCD and EVF so that it is perfectly exposured when adjusting the exposure compensatuion so that there is no red or blue flag color in the scene. Usually you can have a half a stop brighter becouse the image that shows in the jpg and the final image is a raw-file.
