Be Straight And Honest.
Whenever there are firmware updates, there are always problems with them and the usual advice is, to download the file from various sites and update via SD card. It’s much easier and everything is fine. And again and again people break their camera during the update. Here’s some background information. When updating […]
Yesterday would have been a good day for a packet of popcorn. Read the reactions to my report in the forums. In the morning there was still wild anger and indignation, then as more and more people reported clear improvements, the haters became increasingly meek towards the evening and finally they claimed […]
The new firmware for the OM-1 was released yesterday. Officially, only the WiFi protocol has been changed. In reality, however, the entire AF has been rebuilt. And, note, the OM-1 has got the AF of the OM-1II. And, buckle up, better. When the OM-1II came out, I complained that the subject recognition […]
Test & Wow is now available again in France. However, this is no longer done via the dealers, as it used to be, but directly via OMSystem. You have to pay a security deposit. This is done when you “apply” for “Test&Wow”. After one or two working days, the application is approved […]
Hinter diesen Links hier liegen keine PDFs. Es sind lediglich Platzhalter. Ich habe die entsprechenden Handbücher auf meiner lokalen Festplatte und darf sie aufgrund einer Mail von OMDS nicht zur Verfügung stellen.
Since April 11th there are bugfixes for the three OM cameras. With OM-1 and OM1II you can change the WiFI for the connection to the cell phone from WPA3/WPA2 to WPA2. WPA3/WPA2 is set by default. As no end device that does not support WPA3 should receive the WiFi certificate since 2020, […]
Anyone who has ever been to Rocksdorf will have seen that I have labeled lens back caps with “oly-e” and drawers with the contents. I’m a fan of label printers. When my old Dymo Pocket slowly gave up the ghost (at some point the display only showed every second line), I went […]
DPReview has conducted an interview. And since DPReview is no longer known for reporting too critically, Kazuhiro Togashi did the honors. The statements are not really exciting, but at least they are interesting: “Based on our research, the number of outdoor photographers is expected to increase or at least stay the same.” […]
I had already posted a few real-life pictures and a first impression at the FolyFos. Today I took the lens into the studio and – what can I say – the disillusionment was huge. Yes, the lens is crisp in the center even at f/0.95. The barrel is not very pronounced and […]
Frank wrote in the photographers’ quotes: “How do most people photograph a subject, that’s exactly how you shouldn’t do it”. I know that from others too. Don’t snap the postcards, look behind things. Or “Don’t shoot on the twelve, everyone does that.” After a few real fails, I no longer share this […]
Heute Abend das 44. FolyFos. Diesmal mit ein paar ernsten, unter Umständen teueren Themen. Und natürlich wieder Userfragen. Den Link zum FolyFos gibt’s wieder nicht hier, sondern hier: https://oly-e.de/gruppen/folyfos-stammtisch/forum/topic/44-folyfos-5-4-2024-1930 Und damit man das kucken kann, braucht man einen Account bei oly-e und muss sich in der Gruppe angemeldet haben. Account gibt’s bei […]
Pretty much all photo manufacturers are currently outdoing each other in spreading great photo tips among their customers. Flash manufacturer Jinbei is one of them. Like many other manufacturers, it has a “blog” on its website. And just like many other manufacturers, it has not understood “blog”. A “blog” is a web […]
