One of the more popular questions thrown at me by my blog readers over the years was how I got my images so sharp? There was as if I had some secret technique on achieving tack sharp images being shown on my blog. Honestly, there are no secrets, and I am sharing important steps on how to acquire pin sharp images using Olympus OM-D cameras, which I have been shooting with for years now.

There are surprisingly few videos like this on RU-vid that show, not just tell! Excellent video, Robin!

@dalecunning868 4 года назад

Hello Robin. Man oh Man is your smile and excitement is so contagious. Thank you for your videos. I had a bad brain injury and you are easy and real. I can understand and can't help but smile when I watch and learn. Your awesome.

@robobertelliclark988 5 лет назад

Thanks Robin, you finally persuaded a lifelong "centre, half-press, and re-compose" guy to see the logic of trying it your way.

@Ciorin 3 года назад

ahahahaha, TRUE. We are millions. The fact is that I did that even KNOWING that "that" was wrong.

@jeremybeswick550 4 года назад

Thanks for this, Robin. I first watched this a few weeks ago after buying my M5 MkIII, and have been experimenting with these settings since then. Although very familiar with the aperture/shutter speed/ISO triangle (I used to be a keen OM1 photographer), the additional AF and other settings you recommend make a huge difference - which would have taken me a much longer time to discover by myself!

@mdkush5833 4 года назад

Very good examples , really appreciated. Keep up the good job.

@pch3339 3 года назад

Thank you Robin!! You explained in a short video, what many people couldn't explain clearly or show properly! I've come across others saying use a low AF focus but I could see how their photos weren't razor sharp, even though they were claiming their photos were "sharp". I will try those tips in my next images :) I bought you a coffee, enjoy! :)

@Kamukix 4 года назад

I'm glad that something so simple like #1 move your focus point!....was part of this. I being pretty old school am so ridiculously guilty of not doing this anywhere NEAR enough and I pay for it sometimes. Focus recompose is so deeply part of my brain that even with all of the fantastic technology we have available these days in these camera bodies, I just never utilize the tools that are right in front of me. It's great to have those skills sure, but it can get you into trouble for sure, and the result when just using the tools how they're supposed to be used is just so much smarter haha. I'm still working on that, but keep reminding some of the more stubborn guys like me lol. (now to finish the video haha)

@robinwong 5 лет назад

No worries, that center focus and recompose will affect subjects near to the camera, but for distant subjects like buildings or mountains then it should be ok.

Hi Robin, and thanks for the video. I have a Pen-F and an OM-D M-10 and did not know about the noise reduction feature making the images less sharp, so I made the change. Keep up the great work; I really like your presentations.

@robinwong 5 лет назад

My pleasure to do the video, and yes, there is always a compromise, reducing noise also reduces the overall sharpness.

@Ansantari Год назад

@@robinwong In my E-M5 MKII there's Noise Reduction and Noise Filter. Should I set both to off? Do these settings only apply to JPGs? Or are they also applying to RAW?

@nickhaswell6011 2 года назад

I agree robin everything you look at is sharp and that's how i want my photos the same as i see it with naked eye The only time you dont is when you want that certain effect depending on the effect you want at any particular time Otherwise i want pin sharp how you see it in the real world with naked eye

@d3571 4 года назад

1) Move focus point to objective. No BF 2) Stop down aperture 3) Antishock 0 Secs (menu 2) 4) Beware slow shutter speed 5) Noise Filter off/low

@benny9588 4 года назад

@coldeb8911 2 года назад

For Macro Photography, ( Like I enjoy) good Sharpness is absolutely crucial , it is for me anyway, not just because I want a great looking photo but because I want see in clarity those tiny microscopic little details that eyes could never see, that's what really fascinates me and why I love macro photography.

I really enjoy watching your videos and really learn a lot of useful tips. A question to ask. For your third tip, reducing the anti-shock time to 0 seconds. However, if that is the case , how is it different from using Single Anti-Shock because I expect single is also 0 second?

@AnastasTarpanov 5 лет назад

Sharp photos for the win :) For a long time I was so obsessed with perfect sharp in-focus images, but now the first thing that I look in a photo is the mood and emotion, the sharpness is just a bonus :)

@robinwong 5 лет назад

You my friend, have progressed to the next level of photography!

@AnastasTarpanov 5 лет назад

Robin, I wish, but at least we can try :)

@gangleweed 2 года назад

No matter how good the composition, if it's not in focus it will never win a competition.......one of the first things competition judges look for......every time.

@AnastasTarpanov 2 года назад

@@gangleweed totally don't agree with that. It's not the most important thing. You can have a perfectly sharp photo, without a moment, story, composition, motion, emotion, etc. is pointless. And if you have watched some contest judging the photos are always shown in full size on screen, no pixel peeping, and they have like a second to choose, at least on the first round.

@gangleweed 2 года назад

@@AnastasTarpanov I would agree with your point of view, but at the same time if the photo lacks quality no matter what the subject portrays it will not impress the judges........images that are intentionally made "soft" are for a reason, and most portraits are in this category especially females and young children.....sharp lines in those photos win no points. Animal photos and close ups of insects and flowers MUST be razor sharp.

@robertocollo2890 4 года назад

“focus&compose” technique surely results in blurred subject when you’re shooting nearly macro at f1.2 (as in the video), but I think it can apply in street or action photography at 5.6 or more.

@Ciorin 3 года назад

Yes, or if the subject is far enough. But it is good to know and control that way of focusing too.

@yantidaylewis 2 года назад

Robin, how about birds in flight shooting, do we have to turn off the noise filter and do it in post processing? Thank you for sharing your tips. Love it.

@ForsgardPeter 5 лет назад

Very good tips. I disagree when you say that a photograph is a representation of the world. It can also be a representation of a feeling of the world. If it is the latter then sharpness is not an issue.

@robinwong 5 лет назад

No worries Peter. As I said, to me, sharpness is important. We have different shooting objectives, and we see the world different.

@OMGTapioca 5 лет назад

Hey Robin, you are one of the reasons I got convinced to Olympus camera and now a long time reader of you blog. There was a cheat sheet by you on your blog and was super helpful to get the out of box camera to the right settings. Since there are some new features in EM1 MkII and maybe X, have you consider to update the cheat sheet? Thanks!

@robinwong 5 лет назад

I don't think there are that many new things to add to the cheat sheet at the moment. There are new features of course, but those are only situational features, not activated or needed at all times. The cores are still applicable.

@michaelwoodbodley8099 3 месяца назад

@jerryhughes4720 5 лет назад

Thanks Robin. I am a long-time Olympus user and still found this very useful. Interestingly on the EM1x I cannot get the diamond and the heart together as you did (one or the other I think) for shutter shock and silent shutter. only get the heart on the super menu

@gregs4163 5 лет назад

I believe in the menu there is a section (can't remember where) that allows you to check or uncheck selections in the shutter options, you must have one unchecked. When I bought my E-M1X I remember the anit-shock option was unchecked where it wouldn't show up in the options.

@robinwong 5 лет назад

The menu now should be very similar to E-M1 Mark II after the firmware upgrade, and you need to dive in to enable it.

Dear Robin, thanks a lot for sharing your passion with us! I've just set the anti-shock menu of my OMD EM1 mark II (firmware 3.1) to ON and selected 0 seconds but the "single shot with anti-shock icon" does not appear; I tried with O.Zuiko 40-150 F2.8 and O.Zuiko 7-14 F2.8 with shutter speed lower than 1/320: is there maybe something I am forgetting? Thanks a lot. Paolo
