I wanted to test the Hi Res Shot mode on my Olympus E-M1 Mark ii and while I may have had a little incident with camera settings I think the 50 megapixel files came out great!
Using this Hi Res Shot mode my Olympus camera produces RAW files with a higher resolution than a Canon R5 and a Nikon Z7, a little bit of food for thought.

As Olympus said themselves, that high resolution mode resolves around 50MP of resolution, that's why that's the output, however, RAW files are 80MP, because E-M1 Mark II is moving it's sensor in 8 positions, but 4 are half pixel movements, so final resolution is 4*20=80MP. And one more thing - you are getting not only raw resolution using high res mode, but also full colour resolution. You can see the difference in dpreview E-M5 Mark II review, when is compared to D810 - resolution is similar, but when fine patterns are visible, then Olympus was better, because there was no colour shift.

Chris, I loved the video, and I love that you don't shy away from sharing the missteps. They happen to us all, but you made a great save! 📷 P.S. I just bought a beautiful 48MP carrot 🥕, but it only shoots in black and orange.

@ted5017 21 день назад

The moment I gave my thumbs up was the moment you mentioned that you made a mistake and forgot to add the RAW format. Thank you very much for another informative video and…long life to Micro Four Thirds!

@ChrisBaitson 21 день назад

Thank you, I saw no need to hide my mistake. It was slightly annoying as the video didn’t turn out how I wanted but every day is a school day.

It will always be Olympus, Chris. OM Systems is just a group of investors. Money people who know zero about art. The Olympus spirit is what is about art. And Olympus lives on in our hearts.

@TigerPaw193 22 дня назад

I agree that it does live on in our hearts, but does it live on in the hearts of the current generation of engineers and designers? Does it live on in the hearts of the current generation of management and executives? I honestly don't know. If they update the OM5 menu system, that will help me believe it. If they bring out an OM10 with phase detect and a restoration of certain features that were deleted after the E-M 10 mk ii, that will help me believe it. If they bring out a Pen F mk ii with phase detect and some other updates, that will help me believe it. For now, the Olympus spirit of art lives on in our hearts, but I'm not feeling it from the company.

@davidmantripp5312 21 день назад

Sorry but that’s complete bollox. OM Systems is the ex-Olympus camera business unit. Same people, albeit probably slimmed down. Olympus Corp remains, is, and always was about far more than cameras. The divestment of the camera division was fallout from major corporate corruption. We should be thankful that JIP (the actual “group of investors”) saved the Olympus camera business from oblivion as OMDS, because Olympus itself totally screwed it up.

Did you ever figure out the hand held hi-res? It's definitely available on the OM-1 and I don't see it gone for the mark II. There is a shortcut button to activate it and when you hold it and spin the front selector wheel you can select hand held or tripod. Both work great.

@ChrisBaitson 17 дней назад

It’s not available on my camera. The next generation has it.

@Bigfarmer8 12 дней назад

As usual I enjoyed this Chris. I have three cameras with High-Res mode. On the Pen-f I used it exactly once and couldn't be bothered to use it again as I use it for street photography. Both the OM-5 and the OM-1 have the handheld High-Res mode and do a great job. Still, I do not use it that often. One of the reasons is that it eats up disk space. Like someone else in the comments said it does give better colour definition though. So, in some cases it has been very useful to me. On the other hand I still shoot with the 8Mp E-300 so, resolution is not that important to me. Nice shirt and cap by the way! Obviously for me as a Dutchie it is from the wrong team 🙂

@bamsemh1 20 дней назад

It's also mentioned since high was added, that it's for still and not active photos. A bird passing your frame can actually ruin the shot.

@johna5624 18 дней назад

Tripod mode gives 80mp Raw image and 50mp jpeg. The raw file needs to be downsized to 50mp or it will look soft. You need to use the free 'Olympus Workspace' software to get the best out of the high res raw file. Other software programs like Lightroom, DXO etc. are garbage in comparison. You need to sharpen the raw files very aggressively. High res mode is good but in some respects is not as sharp as an equivalent megapixel FF sensor.

@WhoIsSerafin 17 дней назад

I have the EM5 MARK 3 and the OM5 which are essentially the EM1 MARK 2 and the EM1 Mark 3. I also could never figure out how to turn on the 80 mega pixel shot. But on the OM5 I use the hand held high resolution shot constantly with fantastic success. Have even used it for a few portrait sessions with the more patient ones since it takes 15 seconds to complete a photo.

@tobiasdavid3096 12 дней назад

I used the 50 megapixel mode with my OM-1 for a selfy, holdinng the camera myself. Try to have a shutterspeed of 1/500 and a tripod. If the model is still for a second, it should work with 80MP. It might take a couple of shots.

@mistergiovanni7183 16 дней назад

Hi Crhis, the high resolution mode on the Olympus apparently can only be used safely in the studio, since outdoors any movement can ruin the photo. I understand that only Panasonic on the G9 II and I with the new firmware have an option to stop motion blur and it does not leave artifacts in the photo.

@treebeard909 18 дней назад

Great video Chris. Will have to give him a res a go.

@odemata87 22 дня назад

Have the same question about the OM-5 it reads 50MP and 80MP by way of tripod yet you don't see any mention of that in the camera itself despite many reviews and even the official sites stating such.

@permghattaura7101 21 день назад

Hi Chris Outside of being able to print at larger sizes what is the advantage if hi res mode? As you mentioned the clarity and sharpness of and image is down to the lens.... So i feel hi res mode is more of an advantage to the marketing team at OM than anyone else. Views?

@ChrisBaitson 21 день назад

The samples I took at home did show an increase in detail, which possibly didn’t come across with RU-vid’s compression, the colours are also ever slightly more accurate.

@5thdayadventures 22 дня назад

I use my EM1 for video 99.99999 % of the time but love to take pictures with it to and just amazes me the stuff this camera can do considering how long ago it came out... It's definitely better at taking photos then I am 😏

@bamsemh1 20 дней назад

Open menu. Then find high res in 2nd tap. There you can choose 50 or 80MP. 50 is for handheld and 80 needs a tripod.

@mattbibbings 22 дня назад

I belive the 50mp is thr Handheld mode and the 80mp is tripod mode. Might be wrong but i think thats where the difference is.

@ChrisBaitson 22 дня назад

I need to look into it some more as the shots I took at home had a larger resolution from the RAW file than the JPEGs but nothing on the camera to suggest the larger resolution.

@noble_diamond 22 дня назад

This option works in EM1 M3 and other newer models, it by default allows to shut 50mp handheld and 80mp with tripod

@MikeRamsay 22 дня назад

The mk2 has 50mp jpeg and 80mp orf high resolution output. I don't know why. Handheld HiRes came in later models.

@@ChrisBaitson I just did some tests on my OM systems OM5. Both Handheld and Tripod mode Hi Res said 50mp in the settings on the camera. However in LR I can see the tripod mode files are 10386x7776 but the handheld are 8160x6120. Regular RAW is 5184x3888.

@@mattbibbings Thanks for confirming that, it’s what I saw too. JPEG was lower in resolution than the RAW files by quite some margin.

@zachbenson9548 22 дня назад

Where this really shines is for product photography. As for the em1 m3, I don't know. I have the em1 m2 so I'd probably gravitate towards the em1x for a different shooting experience. I think a combo of the em1x, em1 m2 and the pen f is a world class combo of camera bodies even in 2024 and for the foreseeable future.

@MikeC2K10 22 дня назад

I have the E-M1 Mk III and it is basically the E-M1X in a E-M1 body. Instead of dual TruePic VIII processors it has a TruePic IX processor equivalent to the two VIII in the E-M1X.

@zachbenson9548 22 дня назад

@@MikeC2K10 for me it's about the entire package and switching things up. The em1 III is incredible but it's not a hugely different overall experience compared to the mk ii. The em1x feels like a different beast altogether. I do think it's probably better just to have the mk III and call it done but I'm a bit emotionally attached to my mk ii and don't want to give it up. 😁

Not that 1080p looks a bit dated these days, your 1080p looks terrible, more like 720p. As a serious photographer you should think about 4k, everything shown here could have done with a smartphone and nobody would recognise. no front.

@ChrisBaitson 22 дня назад

As a serious photographer I can tell you that the resolution isn’t to blame, not even a little bit. 1080p is in fact a series of 2MP images shown to you, 4K is a WHOPPING 8MP. What actually makes a difference is the codec used when recording video, and more specifically the bit rate. Unfortunately, my Sony A7R has a fairly low bit rate for video. Learn the basics before trying to teach.
