    Thank you , again, Thomas for a very informative and useful description of a feature that probably lots of us have not been aware of. I also thank you for the very good and clear and visible demonstration of the 'frame-averaging' technique of reducing noise and improving pixel accuracy i.e. tonal ( and sharpness ) improvements, similar to the LiveND feature and method, before. I hope this small donation buys you a nice coffee and a sandwich! ( or a nice coffee and cake, depending on your preference ! ) David

      Yes, Thomas reminded me of this feature on my Olympus E-5. I must have forgotten about it. Also I would not expect my E-M10III to have such feature (being an amateur camera), but discovering it surely has, takes my appreciation of this jewel again a step further.

    I'm absolutely amazed at your channel's growth. When I started watching your stuff about a year ago you had just under 500 subs, now you're approaching 12K! You must be very happy to have your work receive such levels of popularity given that you tend to be a more focused professional creator, compared to a lot of the other camera channels that produce very generalised and oft repeated material for amateurs. Seems that by targeting a niche audience with very detailed information you're attracting viewers that appreciate the more in-depth technical aspects and theories of photography that few other creators dare to explore. Wishing you continued growth and success.

      Dear Marcus, many thanks for your exceptionally kind comment and extensive feedback. The growth of this channel, well, I owe it to people like you who believed in my content at a very early stage.

Many thanks for sticking around - I am so very thankful!

    I recently used this feature for thunderstorm shots. I don't really like using livecomp for that, because it blurs the clouds - and this is where overlay really helps.

    As far as I know, you are the first to address such a comprehensive topic in detail without it getting boring. Thanks a lot, Thomas.
    Indeed spending time in front of a computer for editing is not always preferred. Especially doing landscapes. Being outdoor is somehow part of this kind of photography and in camera processing will only increase the outdoor time.
    Thinking about that, I remember developing my photos in the darkroom, which was a whole different experience than editing on a computer. I'm not saying that it's less fun, because of the endless possibilities of tweaking digital photo's, but somehow developing and adjusting tonal values in a darkroom was more part of the photographic experience to me.
    The overlay feature is definitely valuable, but I would expect the professional level cameras of OM System for us to set a initial value for the overlay (somewhere in the menu). Like 0.3 for all 3 images and 0.5 for 2 of them. As a starting point, this would work faster. The OM System has enough function buttons to use for different starting settings and that would be great to have.
    I would go one step further by including overlay modes like dark level, light level, multiply etc. Even though I am aware that over-complicating the possibilities of the camera will not be preferred by all users, most photographers are already accustomed to those features and will surely benefit in some cases.

    • @ThomasEisl.Photography
      @ThomasEisl.Photography  Год назад

      You are spot on, darkroom work is so much more enjoyable compared to digital editing.
      Regarding the overlay function implementation - yes, it really requires more manual intervention. Maybe it is because it can be used for so many different things.
      And yes, having more blend modes available would be even better and really useful! Haven't thought of that.
      Thank you very much for your feedback!

    If you could rig an external USB controller like a keyboard or gamepad or one of those small numpads the navigation could become almost pleasant :). I applaud your motivation to eliminate too much computer time, away from the camera and the 'real' world.
    The Pentax in-camera editor is really great btw, with instant previews in a great interface. Not sure if they can do gain adjustments for composite overlays though.

    Thank you again Thomas. Once time again you explain us the multiple tools we can use to enhance shots in difficult situation. It seems to me that OM-1 can offer this features without the use of tripod (by ND filter tool). Is it true? Sergio from Milano

    • @ThomasEisl.Photography
      @ThomasEisl.Photography  Год назад +3

      Regarding the Live ND filter - that is correct. Note that the landscape shot in this video was also captured handheld. If the stabilizer can "stabilize" it, you can capture the images handheld.
      In any case, a tripod is always the most stable option.

    This was a great video, thanks for creating it. Re. the image overlay to reduce noise...The handheld high resolution mode effectively does the same thing, correct? It just takes more frames and gives you higher resolution. Is one setting better than the other at reducing noise?

    • @ThomasEisl.Photography
      @ThomasEisl.Photography  Год назад +1

      Personally, I would rather use the HHHighRes - it automatically aligns the images and you get more resolution. The noise reduction aspect is mostly for photographers who are using older camera models like I did in this video or if you want noise reduction but not more resolution.

  • @marcodimario9918
    @marcodimario9918 2 месяца назад

    Hi mr. Thomas :) I've only recently discovered your amazing channel. My huge congrats for your very valuable content! If I may, I have only one question about this video, in particular the point where you talk about "frame averaging with Image overlays". My question is: What's the point of doing this complex steps of the image overlay, if I anyway can shoot on tripod and consequentially I can simply take a shot using the base ISO 200 with a, let's say', longer exposure of 1 second (for example)? I think that if i can use a tripod, I really don't need to use "Image overlays" but I guess I'll get much better image quality simply doing a 200 ISO shot using a longer exposure. Am I missing something about your explanation? Thanks :)

  • @RafaelPauwels
    @RafaelPauwels Год назад

    Thank you very much for your interesting series about the features of the OM-1 ! Most of those feature I can also find on my older E-M1X, be it that the menu structure is different, and sometimes I have to search ... but most often, the search is successful !!! I also tried this merging of images and I was a little disappointed ! I shot some landscapes, some night skies and some moonshots ! Unfortunately, none of my tests came out well ... in all cases, the single shots were sharp, but the combined shots were somehow blurry ... very probably caused by the (small) movements in the subjects ... I have the same problem with Hi-Res shots (handheld or on tripod makes no difference) of the night sky and the moon ... it just doesn't work ... except with absolutely static subjects ...

    • @ThomasEisl.Photography
      @ThomasEisl.Photography  Год назад

      Many thanks for the kind feedback!
      Without a tripod, perfect alignement of images is really hard, on a pixel level practically impossible.
      If you are viewing the high res shots in Lightroom for example, they need a lot of sharpening and might look blurry because of that. I recommend examining them in Workspace

    I was eagerly anticipating this video of yours. As usual you presented the features clearly and understandably. Many thanks for that. I hadn’t looked into image overlay, but there was an occasion I thought that it would be great. If you could align a new capture to an existing image that would be really useful. My example was a landscape at blue hour, exposed for the foreground, and a sky image at night with the milky way. There was a few hours between captures, so it would have been good to have the prior exposure overlaid in the viewfinder to align the later image. Alas this doesn’t seem to be covered by the feature you are describing. Instead it’s just combing images in camera, which can easily be done on the computer later.

    • @ThomasEisl.Photography
      @ThomasEisl.Photography  Год назад +3

      What might work for your application is the built-in double exposure feature, which I will cover in a later video - it is essentially Image Overlay with in-viewfinder preview.

  • @dtravisphd
    @dtravisphd Год назад +1

    This is a real technical tour-de-force, bravo! But you would never recommend image overlay in preference to (say) Live ND, would you? My understanding is that Live ND also does some alignment on the images, whereas with image overlay you need to hope that the camera doesn't move, even by a pixel.

    • @ThomasEisl.Photography
      @ThomasEisl.Photography  Год назад +1

      Many thanks!
      A difficult question - I'd recommend using LiveND if your camera has it, and only if you need more control over exposure or selection of images, I'd utilize Image Overlay. The latter has the advantage that you can change things after the images have been recorded. The other one is more convenient.

  • @metalmick99
    @metalmick99 Год назад +1

    What a wonderful, informative, and valuable clip, Thomas. I had no idea that this was present in the camera. It speaks again to the depth of thought that has gone into the OM-1 and by implication, your depth of research into it. I can see myself using this from time to time when I'm out and about - it will be excellent as a proofing tool (for HDR, for example) but also for producing final images. And because it yields RAW files, these can be further processed in OMW and other software. Just one question if I may: the display on your camera while you were explaining the feature set showed 4608 x 3456 - I haven't found this setting for image size on the camera (which doesn't mean it isn't there) - which is 16MP. Can you provide further information o this size?

    Und weil du deinen Einsatz einmal so schön manuellen Live ND nennst: Müsste sich im Umkehrschluss die Live-ND-Funktion nicht auch nutzen lassen, um die Bildqualität zu verbessern, also wenn sich im Frame halt nichts bewegt? Das sind ja auch Overlays mit etwas Rechenpower.

    • @ThomasEisl.Photography
      @ThomasEisl.Photography  Год назад

      There are some possibilities:
      1) The viewfinder is set to S-OVF / LiveView Boost. Then, the image will not represent the brightness values of the final image.
      2) The viewfinder brightness was set to a lower level - you can check that in the menu.
      3) When the photo was taken, light reflected in the viewfinder, making the image appear brighter. Try protecting the VF from stray light.
      Hope this helps!
