Oly 14-42mm Just Died. Suggest a Replacement

The Oly 14-42mm EZ lens on my M-10 II just developed the dreaded "check the position of the lens" error and will not display any image or permit shutter engagement. It zooms out and back at power on and then dies. I know this is a common issue and doubt I'll buy another copy, but what would you sugg...

OM-D E-M10 II Back from Olympus Repair

Yesterday I received my OM-D E-M10 II back from Olympus repair in New Jersey; the LCD ribbon cable was malfunctioning and failed to show anything on the LCD. Total turn around time was 10 days using ground shipping from and to Florida. Can't complain about that. Cost of repair was $218. They also di...

The Wrens are Back

A pair of wrens nest in my yard every year. They are mad in these images because I won't let them nest in my garage. ;) These are small copies of original RAW images from the M10 II and 40-150mm kit lens. Processed in DxO PL4 Elite. https://photos.smugmug.com/Nature/Birds/Song-Birds/i-brN6VS5/0/1c3d...

Re: Emulating Fuji Colors on an Olympus Camera?

FYI. I've been revisiting the Fujifilm emulations and discovered that DxO Photolab 4 has a good easy to use set of Fuji color emulations built into their application. I only have the Essential version but Astia, Provia and Velvia are available. It's possible to build your own simulations using the s...

Loving the 75-300mm ii for nature

In good light this lens is very capable. Here are a couple of samples from today's nature walk in central Florida with the O-MD E-M10 II. Images heavily cropped from RAW shots and processed in ACDSee Studio Pro 2020. https://photos.smugmug.com/Photography/n-4cSxs/Olympus/i-JRCCNS9/0/344f827f/X4/P129...

Direct Access to BKT options Menu with Long Press of Fn Button

I've not seen this mentioned here before or in the .PDF manual. If you have Bracketing (BKT) set on the Fn1 (or other button as I do) you can access all the BKT functions by pressing and HOLDING the Fn1 button until the BKT options menu appears. At this point you can change the BKT options by using ...

Re: Assigning MySet to Fn Button. Not Working?

I asked Rob this question on the Live Stream and he pointed me to his video number 250 here: https://youtu.be/XrVFYLlCSvM . The short answer is that you can't recall a MySet using an Fn button when you have previously assigned that MySet to the Mode dial. Assigning MySets to the Mode dial is easier ...

Assigning MySet to Fn Button. Not Working?

I've set up MySet 4 on my M10 Mk 2 for shooting birds using Shutter Priority, Auto ISO, etc. I can assign that MySet 4 to a Fn Button - for example Fn2. Shouldn't I be able to enable MySet 4 no matter what PASM mode I'm in by pressing the Fn2 button? In this scenario nothing happens when I press Fn2...
