For the Olympus OMD camera owners--how to turn it into a time machine.

The feature is called 'Pro Capture' and it's available on OMD cameras with a single digit suffix. Bit of trivia: When Mr. Miatiani designed the OM 35mm system he designated single digits as 'Pro' cameras and double digits as entry level cameras. Further an odd number designated a full manual camera and even numbers automatic exposure cameras. Thus the OM1 was a pro level manual camera, the OM2 was a pro level automatic camera and the OM10 was the entry level 'amateur' camera. 'Course there aren't any full manual cameras anymore . . .

How to set up Pro Capture:




More trivia: When the 35mm wave engulfed amateur photography market and the 'entry level' cameras were introduced we factory guys (and women) referred to them as "plastic fantastics". A bit snobbish of us, hey?

Wow, they make it look so easy. It probably is, after you learn how. CaliforniaPeggy Dec 2021 #1

My camera doesn't have this feature. But that's OK. I still have lots of things to learn on it!

Very interesting video, nonetheless!

The EM10 puts more emphasis on Scene modes instead of the nutz-n-boltz of deep menu features.

Also, there was a saying when I built hot rods & race cars: horsepower costs money, how fast ya' wanna' go?

Have to enable it.

I love my 10, it lacks the bells and whistle of the pro models, still it does the job well.
Tomorrow I am taking my Pergear 35mm lens for a short urban walk.
