You and your YouTube channel have been a great discovery for me today.
I like your English pronunciation, your voice and your great videos about Olympus cameras.
Of course I have subscribed to the channel, it has my "likes" and I'll tell my friends about it. Thank you very much and a hug from Malaga, Spain.

Peter, since I can only afford to buy used equipment, I really appreciate the fact you show exactly which cameras have the features you are describing. Also printing the list is very useful because I can stop the video and make a note before continuing. Thanks again, and to borrow a great phrase, bye for now.

Just got myself a nice secondhand 17mm f/1.8. Feels very old school. Nice to have a prime lens.

Just purchased my first Oly camera, OM-D 1 Mk ii. In part thanks to you and your excellent videos here! This is a most timely video... Thank you, sir!

[davidblack]

Great tips! I have AF Limited assigned to my Lens Function Button. a quick press will turn on or off the AF Limited. A long press will get me to where I can select which AF Limited setting to select. Then the Info Button will let me change the settings.

Peter, just wondring, you didn't renew with OM-D? I mean you've been a great ambassador of Olympus for such a long time.... they should keep you. Thanks for all the Vids! you're amazing!

[michaelhall]

Definitely want to try the AF limiter the next time I photograph birds.

Hi Peter, thanks for your tips - especially the Live ND one, very interesting. I came to using the lever to switch between still and video last year when using an E-M5ii for both video talks and general photography. Together with the custom modes I was able to quickly switch to my preferred video settings and shoot away.

Have I used any tips recently? Sure! The Manual, constantly! You can shoot video? Wow! I’m such a noob! I love your tips, and now need to see about a passport for 2022. What a fun trip that may be! 🙏

[donsnow]

Looks like Its a great time to upgrade my Em-5. Been 10 years already. Love alot of the newer features.
Cheers.... loving the channel.

Thanks for the tips. The folder one sounds useful. I did not know about the liveND noise reduction will take a look. For Astrophotography I have tried Hand Held High Res on a tripod for Milky Way shots - you can go up to ISO 6400 and it will take 16 frames and combine them which gives some noise reduction. I got better results for this compared to tripod high res mode.

[EspenHelland]

Great tips Peter! Always handy to have the manual at hand, didn't know that you could get it in the app 👍

[charliegreen]

Thanks for the tips, I will be using that Folder one it takes me ages scrolling through old images to import in Lightroom waiting for them all to load.

[RonaldBrown]

Thanks for the your five tips, I love these kind of video’s. Thanks for sharing.

[garybrown]

Great idea to flip the lever like the x-t4 fujifilm has from video to photo
I sure wish Olympus would bring back the panorama mode
Its a lot of fun

[gazjones]

That AF limiter is a godsend for astrophotography!

[DeMorcan]

I never thought of the ND for noise. I use hhhr to lower noise and then resize it back down/

[Lordvader]

I had no idea about Live ND. I’m going to try it tomorrow! That is a fantastic tip. With DXO and now this, I’m going to have the cleanest images. Thanks Peter.

Great tips! Thanks for sharing your experience again!

Hi Peter, thanks for the live ND and noise reduction tip much appreciated.
