Barn Owl @1:1

Nigel G — Wed, 08 Feb 2017 18:52:11 +0000

by: Nigel G

Description: Well this morning I took the plunge and bought the E-M1 Mk ll. I gave it an hour to charge the battery and then headed for my favourite bird hide. While sitting watching very little I spent about 30mins working through the menus to get everything set the way I did on the Mk1 and then waited patiently for something worthwhile to test the allegedly much improved continuous AF. After another hour's patience I was rewarded with a quick flight from a Barn Owl. It was short, erratic and the light wasn't great - I wouldn't have got the Mk1 to lock focus at all. I shot 4 short bursts for a total of 11 frames and 9 of them are as good as this. I know its expensive but if you shoot moving subjects with Olympus you need one of these :)
