Check the Slow Limit setting under custom menu F
This sets the minimum shutter speed in auto ISO

For what I'm seeing, that appears to be specifically for when the flash is firing. I'm trying to adjust the setting for all shooting conditions, flash or not. (I have the 1.5 firmware, if that matters)

Picked up the SEMA-1 mic, and it picks up a lot of white noise, from what I'm assuming is the IBIS. Pretty awesome how it actually renders the stereo playback, though, huge improvement over the built in.

This setting applies for all Av and P mode with and without flash. I know it sounds weird but it works. Give it a try.

I am now in the OMD club :D got a nice silver one with the 12-50 kit lens plus the 60 macro and I am a very happy camper.

Very soon I hope to have a 12-25-60-75 kit to go along with the kit zoom and maybe a 7.5 Rokinon fisheye .

Welcome! I had OM-D for a couple of months now and I love it. Slowly selling off all my Canon DSLR stuff. I got the same kit as you - silver with 12-50mm. The kit lens is actually very nice, I've gotten a lot of greats shots with it and it is weather sealed. I added 25mm 1.4 and 45mm 1.8 which are both great lenses. By the way, Overstock has Rokinon Fisheye on sale 10% right now for 243 shipped. I am not sure if I need it though, had a fisheye for Canon and rarely used it. But if you want it, it is a good price: http://www.overstock.c​om …irds/6527341/pr​oduct.html (external link)

"Cheaper" per the link. Good. The Mark I is ridiculously priced for what it is--$899 for a really slow (aperture-wise) zoom! If they can make it both better and cheaper that would be most welcome.

The Mk I was sharp and seemingly well built but very expensive. I see that the picture still shows f4.8-6.7 on the barrel and the min focusing distance is identical so perhaps it is largely a cosmetic update.

So I've been getting my PW MiniTT to kind of work on my OM-D. It has a dummy mode to make it just a trigger but it only seems to fire once every 3 shots. I'm going to replace the battery and try it. If that doesn't work I'll try and tape all the other pins to see if that works. The P2 works perfectly, but the profile on the MiniTT is less akward to shoot with.


My village called. I was told that they missed me.

Speedotron users, untie!

75-300mm Mark II is $549.99 down from $800 or so street (I think) on the Mark I. That's much more like it.
