As I am having to work from home I thought I would start a collection of the birds that visit our garden over the coming day/weeks/months, who knows, no where near as good as blackfox and others on here but it's keeping me sane but only just

Ruddy hell, look at the claws on that !!!

You can see where they got the idea for digger machine buckets now.

Ohh....bet he wrecks your lawn. Couldn't kill them though.

A rare shot I would I say

Well been working from home since last Tuesday (luckily I have a home office setup), and whilst I am working (honestly), I have my camera along side me, and during a break yesterday, decided to try out the pro-capture mode on the EM1 MK III. To be honest, I've never used it on any of my Olympus bodies. Set to Pro-Capture Low (18 fps), and shot on the 300mm F4 Pro at a roof top across the way (so these are pretty big crops). I then just needed to wait for a suitable model.

Along came this magpie and whilst the images won't win any awards etc. it did surprise me how easy pro-capture makes shots like these. I had plenty of frames to choose from (these are 3 consecutive). God only knows what Pro-Capture High (60fps) achieves ?

Is that a good deal do you think?

I had to look, and managed to find one of those from last November.

Taken with the 300mm + 1.4 extender in pretty rubbish light

... actually on this trip, when we first saw them, we were playing Bob Marley in the car and I videoed them through the window as they danced to disturb their food in the mud. When I got home I realised it did look like they were dancing to the music!

A little while ago I reported my frustration at the fact that you cannot save E-M5 iii menu settings in Olympus Workspace and that the firmware updates will delete settings. As a consequence I've put off this rather tedious task for some time but seeing as I now find myself with a lot of time and not much else to do....

But I have a problem. I have two E-M5 iii and neither seem to want to connect to my computer. I plug the USB into the camera and laptop. I switch it on and get the choice of selecting storage, MTP, PCM recorder or exit. I understand I need to select storage, though the behaviour is the same on all of them . Whatever I press, I just get a screen that says 'one moment' and it never goes away.

So far I have this issue on three different USB cables, one PC laptop and two macs and on both E-M5 iii's.

What on earth am I doing wrong here?!!

 

[gad-westy]

Right. Just in case this benefits anyone else, I have a solution....

You have to use an Olympus USB cable. A regular one doesn't work. That took some figuring out!

Was the one you were using a USB3 usb-c cable?

 

[jono2002]

Hope all ok, been too long since I posted. Thinking I need to try more monochrome from my Oly.

 

[gad-westy]

Was the one you were using a USB3 usb-c cable?

Nope. Just a regular micro-usb cable. Same as the olympus one. But I notice the olympus supplied one does have two ferrite cores on the cable where as most cables have nothing.

Yes sorry, forget it's micro USB. I found a few Olympus cameras that are picky about the quality of USB cables.
