OM-1 Birds in Flight AI Detection AF | OM SYSTEM Settings

OM System OM-1 for birds in flight photography. I dive into my thoughts on the AI Bird detection AF for bif with lots of example photos from the last few months. Then I show my settings for birds in flight photography on the OM-1 using the AI bird detection AF.

Since making this video I’ve started to use C-AF without tracking and had slightly better results.

Thanks Espen! Great video about settings. I hope that I can make so good pictures from birds like you do👍

Hello Espen: After having been waiting for several months for the ON-1, it has finally reached my hands, I must say that despite the fact that I have been using digital cameras of different brands for many years (one of them was the Olympus E -20p), the OM-1 has been a camera that has really amazed me with the HUGE amount of settings it has... making me feel like an absolute beginner...

There have been many times when I have had to "reset" this camera when I was totally blocked... and it is evident that for someone who has been using NIKON cameras for more than 20 years (and continues to do so), to use the OM-1 properly could be quite a problem.

Fortunately there are people like you who do these great tutorials, which help those like me to take advantage of a camera like this.

Thank you very much for a job so well done.

Cheers
Manuel

Mycket bra Espen, jag har väntat på denna del när du visar inställningarna! Tack

[eddielopez]

Thank you for the video. I'm waiting for my new camera to come in today. Super excited for its arrival.

Thank you so much for this, Espen. The OM1 is so different from the EM series menus especially the AF settings. It is great to have a practical step by step guide to what to use.

Great video love my OM-1 just a couple questions I'm fine with birds in flight but when you have a Egret walking around in the water what settings would you have S-AF small focus point and would you turn off AF Scanner? thanks;)

I have been lucky and have had my OM-1 since launch. For wildlife and birds in flight it has been very very good.

[johngdinesen]

Nice and instructive. The Black grouse pics are outstanding.👍👍

Hello Espen, best regards from Germany. Thanks for your great contribution.

Warm greetings

Well done, Espen! I really enjoyed Your vid from a real professional bird photographer. After waiting for the OM-1 for so long, i finally got the camera just one week ago 😊. And i must confess, the new bird detection is doing very well.

[catherinetremerryn]

Thank you vv much, this fantastic . About to set up - fingers crossed.

[JanicevD]

very clear tutorial on this subject - thanks so much!

[narinthip]

This is fantastic works Espen!!! Cheers.

[victorfeinstein]

Thanks a lot!!! Now I have to try your settings and hope my hit rate will rise.Keep sharing with us your knowledge.

Great tips on the bird AI detection setting. Just wondering whether you can do custom settings for video for the OM-1. Have not found ways to do it yet. Also, previously with the EM1-X, you could map the multi selector to S-af if you press down the multi selector, do you know whether OM-1 can do the same ? Greatly appreciate your help.

[alanryder]

Very useful Espen. I had similar settings to yours but I have not had the opportunity to try them out yet - I will definitely give your settings a go and see how I get on. Many many thanks for sharing.

I am thinking of switching from Canon to the OM-1. So your enthusistic videos are wonderful for me. Can you tell me please, is there a crop on any of the video modes. As most of my subjects are far away I enjoy the extra reach of a crop of 2x for example. I notice it has a 'one push telephoto' function, but it is not explained. Thanks

[lindakessemeier]

Are you shooting in manual mode? If you were to us Shutter Priority mode, what would you set your shutter speed to for BIF?

[raytaylor]

Hi Espen, another great video. I read through the comments and some people were saying a very complex setup for birds in flight, I beg to differ, every new camera needs setting up, my OM1 took weeks of tweaking but once done you don't have to do it again. I used the Canon 1DXii before and setting it up was very similar in time. I love my OM1 I would never go back.
