As all of my friends know that I have 11 years of photography experience. My camera is like my loved one, my brother, I don’t like to sell it or never use it for a second time because I bought a new one, so I have several cameras but often use them in turn. Even I have many different camera brands’ cameras, I have to say that my favorite one is Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II.
This retro-style E-M1 is designed with aluminum-magnesium alloy. Almost the entire body is covered with function keys and turntables. Even the front of the fuselage has preset function keys, depth-of-field preview keys and flash sync jacks. The user completes the shooting settings faster. The top shutter button has a turntable 丶 movie recording button 丶 color creation function button 丶 zoom out dial 丶 mode dial 丶 preset function button 丶 HDR / film mode button 丶 focus / metering mode button and switch button, more special It is the mode dial that adds a lock button for unlocking, and does not need to rotate one side to change the mode setting. AEL / AFL keys and controls are added to the back of the machine. Other buttons include Info 丶 arrow keys 丶 menu button 丶 play button 丶 delete button and display button. Of course, there are 2.36 million electronic viewfinders and 3 1.04 million Point flip touch screen.
In order to take care of the user’s long-term camera, the back of the machine and the position of the handle are also rubberized, and the handle of the E-M1 is also thickened to increase the comfort of the hand, mimicking the hand of the SLR, but also the overall shape. Become a mix of vintage and modern, I hope that Olympus can design a better looking model in the future! In terms of interface, E-M1 uses Olympus high-order non-reverse operation, and it is very convenient to set on the shooting interface.
E-M1 is designed with aluminum-magnesium alloy body to achieve dust-proof, waterproof and cold-resistant function. With comfortable handlebars, the solid feel is the same as that of ordinary SLR. The lightweight body is more suitable for long-term use. For photography, it is the time-contested user, the E-M1 button turntables definitely help them speed up the operation. However, for users who are accustomed to one-handed operation settings, the reconfigured button positions take some time to adapt. It is worth mentioning that the rearranged turntable position makes the shooting smoother, the tightness is moderate, it is not too easy to push, and it is not too difficult to rotate. In addition, if the fuselage is used with some long lenses, there will still be a feeling of heavy head and tail, which makes the balance feel a little worse.
Wi-Fi function
Although we know that the E-M1 is faster when it starts Wi-Fi, we still appreciate the Wi-Fi control and transmission that Olympus has added to it. First, the camera will display the QR Code on the Wi-Fi startup screen. After the phone scans, enter the password to connect the camera. Next, download the Olympus Image Share program from the Apple Store or Play Store. After launching the program, you will find it provides four functions: Control, Transfer, Photo Editing and Adding Photographs. We can use the following interface to control the camera to shoot in P / A / S / M or iAuto mode, in addition to the shutter 丶 aperture 丶 exposure value 丶 sensitivity 丶 white balance 丶 continuous shooting and touch focus settings, etc. The number of photos stored in the memory card and the focus mode will be displayed!
Thanks for 5 years of companionship, my love, Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II.
