OM-1 camera. A quick guide to mastering the Focus Limiter.

We look at the focus limiter option on the OM-1 camera. This allows us to restrict the minium and maximum distances the camera can focus within. It has been an option on telephoto lenses for some time, but at fixed distances. Now you have total flexibilty to select whatever distance you want.

In addition the OM-1 camera will measure those distances for you, so you do not have to guess.

Thanks, Mike, for demonstrating how to do this. I don't know how I missed this video when it first came out but I'm grateful that I found it... I've been trying to figure out how to use my OM-1 to determine distances and you explained it perfectly! Thanks again for all of the hard work you do to make these videos... they all are very interesting and incredibly helpful.

Perfect Mike. A concise and clear description of how to use this function (not a 20 mins ramble as some will do on YT) !

Thank you for this. Your video is quite clear, but I don't seem able to see "info settings" on my live view finder which reveals distance when info is pressed. I have the latest firmware. What could I be missing here?

[SachinSawe]

Wow! This camera gives you that distance ... This should absolutely be a feature in every camera!!

What is the advantage of using this feature? Faster focus?

[LarryFasnacht]

Thank you! I had heard that the OM-1 could give me the distance, but I had forgotten how it works. Your explanation was very simple and clear. Thank you.
