Es gab und gibt bei OMDS/Olympus sogenannte Garantieverlängerungen um 3 Jahre zu kaufen. Diese sind nur für bestimmte Gerätschaften zu erwerben. Eine Zeit lang sind die für 59 Euro vertickt worden, derzeit kosten sie 149 Euro. Die aktuellen Verlängerungen sind auch keine “Verlängerungen” um 3 Jahre mehr, sondern betreffen eine “Gesamtgarantie” von […]
Termin: 45. FolyFos 3.5.2024
Wieder mal ein Stammtisch. Wieder am Anfang des Monats, weil Peter gerade noch unterwegs ist. Irgendwann werden wir den Turnus mit dem Ende des Monats schon wieder hinkriegen. Wenn nicht, dann halt nicht. Immerhin machen wir ja so grob jeden Monat nen Stammtisch – ganz im Gegensatz zu unserem Lieblingshersteller, der das […]
Ask PAT: Why is the image brightened with S-AF?
Yes, the “why” questions. Whether it’s the degree of curvature of the banana or the advice of OMDs marketing… Now there’s definitely been another question “Why is the image in the viewfinder/display brightened in dim lighting conditions during S-AF?” When such a question is asked, the question is always “What are dim […]
OM-1 and 100-400 and IS
There was just a question about the stabilizer of the 100-400 and the OM-1 after the firmware update. Unfortunately, I had to answer the question involuntarily at the Freystadt-Plankstetten Bezirksliga – match. Not good. I kept getting completely blurred pictures like the one above. The exposure times were actually short enough (1/640s […]
District Class: TSV Freystadt II – SG Plankstetten II

The game in the Kreisklasse ended 2:0 for Freystadt, both goals were scored in the second half, the 1:0 unfortunately by Benedikt Rupp’s own goal, shortly after […]
GfO: Firmwareupdate machen
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 […]
OM-1 the new AF
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 […]
OM-1 Firmware 1.6 New AF
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 […]
