OM1- ProCapSH2 - photographing Fighting Finches using the 40-150mm F2.8 + MC14 converter 

These images are incredible Roger!

It was a great video. Have set up my perches, the birds are coming - I have no excuse! Fingers crossed and thank you

Thank your sharing your knowledge. Very informative.

Extremely helpful! Thank you very much.

Excellent video Roger, really enjoyed it

Another excellent video Roger, top class technique with some superb images shown. The OM1 sounds like it’s been a positive upgrade.

I found this to be extremely useful, and plan to assign this setup to C1, assuming my OM-1 arrives this century. Thanks!

WOW this is the only video that made think i need to upgrade form OM D1 mark III. thanks so much. i always get weaver on the garden building its nest sometimes they are in a perfect setting, i try hard to get that moment when they come out of get in, but end up with many many shots and so little which are sharp enough. OK i think i need that OM 1.

WOW! Awesome captures. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful images with a nice behind-the-scenes look of how to achieve them. Very well done.

Very good Roger easy to follow and well explained as always

Just bought the 40-150 and 1.4 extender. Can't wait to try some flight shots.. Great video Roger. Thank you.

Watching your fantastic videos makes me want to try some Bird Photography even though i'm primarily a Landscape and Seascape fanatic, you explain everything so clearly and precise and the videos are a pleasure to watch, regards, Colin.

Nice one Roger, very informative 👏 and excellent shots 👍

Magic shots Roger as always, now to setup my Om - 1, only had it a few weeks so looks like my backyard will need to have a feeder similar to yours ! Cheers from NZ

Excellent work great images and fantastic tips Roger. I don't have the camera yet but this one is the first time I've been excited about M4/3 I'm mostly a Canon and Nikon user.

Thanks, Roger very enlightening, hope to get OM1 soon just let the made rush go down first and sort out the updates. Lovely shots of birds in flight.

Muchas gracias. Estoy esperando con ilusión la llegada de mi om1

I live on 5 acres and I usually go to the park to photograph birds. Even though we have a ton of wild birds who frequent my yard. Your set up has me thinking I've been going about this all wrong and I plan on setting up some similar attractions to shoot the birds right out my side door. It's not something I would have thought of before. Thanks for the great videos.

Bonjour Comme d'habitude, de belles phots et des explications claires. Merci

Excellent presentation, thank you

Fantastic- thank you for your tipps!

Thanks Roger that was helpful. cheers!

Wow lo mejor que he visto, gracias por compartir su conocimiento y tanta belleza se queda uno maravillado de lo que se puede lograr sabiendo configurar la OM 1 que Usted amablemente explica muy bien. Que se le multipliquen sus conocimientos

They are fantastic Roger. I'm testing out a friend's om-1 next week as I'm thinking of moving from Sony full frame. I couldn't get they images with mine and the pro capture really appeals to me.

Incredibly good photos! I can't wait to order my OM1 (... but still unable to do so due to high demand).

Perfect tip for action. This should be doable with my Lumix Gx8. Not the same keep rate, but as always one keeper is enough!

terrific Roger, the more videos I watch, the greater my confidence this OM1 can replace my Sony A9ii +200-600, great work as always , just watched Mike Lanes initial impression of the AF - again very impressive

superb!!!

Excellent Roger. Not used the new procedure yet.

Sehr, sehr schöne Bilder. 👍 👍 👍 Gruß aus Sachsen

Could I trouble you to ask what the shutter speed was for the amazing shot at 7:53? I was reviewing this video for the second time preparing to go out and use my new-to-me 40-150 f2.8 arriving today. I love the capture on this with the wide wings so sharp and just a hint of motion on the more active wings on the right. Would like to use it for a starting point and see what I can do. :) Great video - very helpful.

Hi Roger. I can see great advantages in using Pro Capture for birds in flight. I currently use a Sony A1 & a Sony 600mm f4, but feel quite tempted by your excellent results. Best wishes, Richard

Yeow! What more may I say! Thank you for the clear explanation and concrete examples of how to use BIF with ProCap. However, what AF target mode settings have you found most useful for the examples used?

As ever, a well presented, informative and helpful video - thank you. I'm now off to find a suitable post like the one which you demonstrated and will attach a few 6" nails at the bottom so that I can move it around similar to the props which you have shown in previous videos. It was particularly instructive to see how you cropped one of your images as I always wonder how much cropping goes on with these sorts of shots. (Inevitable of course with this sort of action). Are you using a remote cable release, your finger or the OI.Share app to half press the shutter?

Excellent video Roger, how effective do you find the autofocus tracking to be on the OM-1 ? Are most shots in focus on the fighting finches or just the occasional one? The fixed focus on procap high on the EM1x is a drawback.

Hi Roger, great video! Do you know if Olympus has increased their lens selection compatible with the higher FPS of ProCap 2 since you created this video?

Great shots Roger. Have you tried hand held?

Great and informative video, thanks! One question: according to what I have read elsewhere you should just use CAF with the subject detection, interesting that you have gone with CAF+TR?

Excellent video, thank you. When photographing these fighting birds did you find the bird af was focusing on the eye of the birds or their wings?

Nice video Roger. What AF sensitivity do you find works best for ProCaptureSH2?

Nice video! If I use back button focus, should I keep pressing the AF-ON button when trace the birds or the camera will automatically trace the birds for me? And to start the procaputure , I just need to half press the shutter button? Thank you very much!

Hi Roger. Great shots. I notice that you set Bird Ai with C-AF + Tracking. This is an area I am confused about. When to use C-AF with Bird Ai alone and when to add in + Tracking as Bird AI with C-AF alone seems to track birds anyway. Help!

Hi can I ask are there two versions of this lens I have Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150 mm F2.8 PRO Lens, Telephoto Zoom, Suitable for All MFT Cameras (Olympus OM-D & PEN Models, Panasonic G Series), Black and are getting confused if there is a specific 1.4 converter to use with it i can see two versions of the converter as well hope you understand and can help

👌👍👍🙏 👋🙋

I have heard that with pro cap 2 you do not need to enable the tracking but just CAF. I am a little confused.

Hi Great video What focus target area do you use

can you use pro capture with back button focus? thanks so much

I been thinking about that converter for the same lens which I own. I know that there is always always the debates on what to get. The 40-150 with the 1.4 or the 2.0 or getting the 300mm. What is your expert opinion?

Hi Roger Do you shoot using Auto ISO?

what is your settings on the noise
