I assume you mean EM1 mkiii as the EM1X is only at the mki stage.

I have the EM1 mkiii.

If you are in A - Aperture Priority
Simply press Menu - go to Shooting Menu 2 and select High Res Shot and press right arrow
this opens up a new menu press right button again and then down button. You can select the shutter delay time. when done press OK
The HR symbol on the rear screen will appear.

Hope this makes sense.

Another from yesterday. This time trying to show movement whilst showing the name plate. Don't know if it works. Thoughts?

.... Almost! I photograph steam trains in motion too and appreciate the difficulty. The hit rate is always low! You gotta go for it though, so don't be discouraged.

I think your previous post shot works very well indeed.

Mine didn't quite work either but received hundreds of Likes in various steam loco groups, although not on Flickr (surprise surprise!) :

OK, we all know how well this flagship Olympus lens performs but handheld at 2000mm equivalent and only 1/50s says a lot for Olympus's image stabilisation technology. The image is not enlarged - It is only cropped top and bottom to go from 4:3 to 3:2 proportion, so it is the full width of the original captured image :

Sorry Mate. If the engine is sharp and the background blurred it’d have more movement.

I actually think the photo does work. But probably the orange person extreme right should be retouched out --- we need the space but there is too much of a colour clash.

Agreed. It could easily be toned down without the need for cloning. Or else convert the whole scene to mono.
 
I don't know if this will interest anyone who has the Olympus 100-400 lens.
When i got mine it didn't come with a case and i really wanted one mainly to store the lens in at home. Being a long time canon user before i swapped out to Olympus i always like the L cases you got with the L lenses i use to own. I thought would the 100-400 fit in a Canon case so i risked it and bought one from a popular auction site and the case arrived today. The lens fits in quite snug and the case zips up so it perfect for me.
So if anyone else is looking for a case then i can recommend the Canon LZ1324

indeed, I was also thinking along both those lines. Perhaps you'd care to do a quick mono, just to give an idea?

I went in a little caff down an alley in Settle not that far from the station.
Might have been this one, it was only small, bit surprised they had live music advertised.

That doesn’t really narrow it down much! Could be Bar 13. The Wonky Cake doesn’t have music, neither live nor dead.

Great close up but the colour looks to be very yellow, was it the light or have you edited it that way for impact?

touch of both this particular shot caught a brief few minutes of low winter sun , but I have bumped that up a tad to for impact
 
Both great images, but something is not the perfection you normally post.
The focus seems to be just a bit in front of the body.

same shot just LR changes ,do let me know which you prefer
black and gold by jeff and jan cohen, on Flickr

.... I much prefer the blue sky background and I actually really dislike the black background because to me it looks totally false. Also, it doesn't sit comfortably with the golden hour sunlight on the bird. I know you wouldn't want me to be anything other than totally honest in my opinions Jeff and they are only my personal opinions.
