Photographing Stonechats in Flight using the OM-1 Procapture

Procapture is a brilliant feature that I look for the opportunity to use all the time. Here I use it to photograph Stonechats in flight. Not an easy subject. Procapture plus the stunning bird eye tracking of the OM-1 makes the impossible, possible.
I still need good light, the wind in the right direction and a bird that understands my needs!
I use the OM-1 combined with the 150-400mm lens.

@doncooper2344 Год назад

Really like your videos. Very useful. For this situation I prefer manual focus and SH1. As mentioned you won't get many frames with anything useful, but with SH1 you double the chances of getting the type of shot you want. Can't see any advantage of AF since the bird in the focus plane for the split second you're capturing action. I'd also use a tripod and the remote if that were possible. Just makes things easier.

Great video as usual, Mike. Minsmere absolutely epic place, fair old drive from the Midlands though isn't it (I'm in Shropshire). I got my first ever Dartford Warbler sightings (and one picture) only last year at the neighbouring Dunwich Heath

@MikeLaneFRPS Год назад

Yes long drive. Too far for the day.

@CamillaI Год назад

Painstaking work Mike Procapture certainly helps and 50 frames per second but still hard to do ! I still hope Sony will update the A1 with Procapture. Awesome demo thanks Mike. 👍

@MikeLaneFRPS Год назад

If not surely it will be on the next Sony model.

@godsinbox Год назад

Mike, they make the EE-1 to solve the issue you had .

@MikeLaneFRPS Год назад

I have a RU-vid review on one. Would not help with this subject. You need faster arms.

@jasonpalmer2497 4 месяца назад

give the dot sight a try ive had good luck with one even an the em1x although keeper rate was terrible if the om1 af is meant to be that good i cant see there being a problem good luck for next time

@palpacher1968 Год назад

Beautiful pictures Mike. Do you switch off the IBIS in the lens at high shutter speeds? Have you noticed any difference if it is on or off? Thanks

@MikeLaneFRPS Год назад

I never switch it off and when I have tried testing it (hard to test) I can see no difference.

@yournemesis1969 Год назад

Love your videos Mike. They are very helpful 👍🏼😊 Considering switching from Nikon to Olympus OM-1. Question: Will the Pro Capture work with a wireless radio-shutter-release?

@MikeLaneFRPS Год назад

To use procapture you need to be able to half depress and fully depress the shutter release button so the quetsion is does the wireless radio device support this. I think it very unlikely, but maybe out there somewhere there is such a device. It works with a wired remote control.

@yournemesis1969 Год назад

@@MikeLaneFRPS Thanx Mike 👍🏼 If i get the OM-1, your channel is where i will learn from. You explain things better than the others. Greetings from Northern Norway 😊

@hemlockwood Год назад

Great video Mike. Very enjoyable. Just to clarify that you have set your camera in bird detect with pro capture. Is that correct? I have not used this facility on my OM1 yet but after your video I am going to give it a try.

@MikeLaneFRPS Год назад

Yes. Usually SH2 procapture with bird detection

@craiginthemud7086 Год назад

Great video and photos again Mike. I am struggling to get decent results on my om1 with procapture sh2. Many photos are out of focus and I am wondering if it's due to me using the pl 200mm f2.8 and pl 100-400 and not OM/olympus glass? Af sensitivity is +1 most of the time and af area wide depending on the composition. By all accounts this should still work even though sh2 is capped at 25 fps. Any thoughts? Thanks muchly.

@alecstewart9099 Год назад

Hi Mike excellent video as usual. I have just spent some time with stonechats and for the first time used procap sh2 with bird detect. I had some good results but it did not seem to track the bird across the frame as in your video. Mostly only getting the take off and one or two frames sharp. I was using small area frame to lock onto the bird first , would it be better to use all points. My shutter speeds were 3200 -8000sec. They were taking off parallel to me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

@MikeLaneFRPS Год назад

The focus points will not make any difference. It will use all focus points with bird detection on, once it has found a bird. Using a small area can help if you have two birds in the picture and want to tell it which one to focus on, but after that it uses all focus points. I had a high failure rate, but that was because the birds was flying in the wrong direction. You are on the edge of what is possible so can't expect to get it right all the time.

@alecstewart9099 Год назад

@@MikeLaneFRPS Thanks for clearing that up Mike much appreciated.

@przybylskipawel Год назад

Great tutorial. I am struggling a bit with my setup, as having Olympus 100-400 I am capped at 20fps. This quite a lot, but for capturing critical moment with small bird it is too slow. I hope they will fix this if they ever release mark II of that lens. Also I was wondering howmu current setup would work with SH1 and pumping focus. This 150-400mm is great lens but it is prohibitively expensive and 300mm pro is not that flexible.

@MikeLaneFRPS Год назад

I only use SH1 procapture occassionally. C-Af is too useful.

@tagechristiansen7176 Год назад

Good video, thanks for that. I also have the OM1 and 150-400 lens. What is your experience with using image stabilization and which one do you use, if any?

@MikeLaneFRPS Год назад

I leave it on auto. Never switched it off.

@johnpavett68 Год назад

Nice film Mike but I do have one question, do you use back button focus in conjunction with pro capture? Feels a little fiddly to me

@MikeLaneFRPS Год назад

No I do not use back button focus. Whenever I try it I quickly give up. Does not suit my hands.

@johnpavett68 Год назад

@@MikeLaneFRPS thanks Mike, guess I need to practice what works best for me. I'm used to back button so a bit of trial and error for a bit. Practice on the garden Robins at the weekend. Keep up the good work, I really enjoy your films
