Glad to help! I believe Live View and Anti Shake can heat up the sensor over time, but the E-510 will shut them off if it's getting hot. I think there's mention of this in the manual. I wouldn't worry, but I would suggest using the optical v/f for most of your shots.
old old old video,but have seen this lens advertised in places ,but stating have to get/use adapter for use on m43 bodies ?would this lens still be viable in 2019 ?
I do hope to test some more lenses in the future, but in the meantime, there's several Olympus owners on the Cameralabs forums if you want to ask more about lens options...
The E-System does know which focal length it's using, but the sensor can still only move so far within the body regardless of the lens you attach. Whereas if stabilisation is built into the lens, it can be tailored specifically for the focal length.
It certainly is very useful for critical focusing work - have you seen our Canon 40D astrophotography video? That shows how useful LV can be - we also havea demo for macro work in the main 40D video tour...
I don't believe so, but there may be some adapters which offer basic functionality. The Nikon owners on the Cameralabs forum may be able to offer more help.
Live View is very useful for macro photography and manual focusing. An articulated live view screen makes the feature much more useful, but only available on other models.
the reason that the camera shake appears the same with both ON as with both OFF is because the lens is trying to counteract the shake by directing the light to where IT THINKS the sensor is, but the sensor is actually moving to counteract the shake, so the light the lens redirected is no longer hitting it's intended target.
I am upgrading my E-500 to either the new E-3 or the E-510, simply for LiveView. There is simply no better way to manually focus critical pictures than on a larger LCD screen under magnification...small viewfinders just don't cut it. If you don't use manual focus, then perhaps you don't need LV...but I personally think LV is a great tool for critical focusing and perhaps macro.
Wow that's interesting. I guess it also have an effect on battery life as the body stabilization takes effect only when the picture is actually taken whereas the optical stab would "eat" power all the time… could you see that effect?
I bought this camera over a week ago and i love it. i was taking great picture in 30min and this is the first slr i have ever used. it a great beginner slr camera. one thing that really turned me on to it was the live view. ive been used to it for years cause of my old compact camera. now one of the thing that I have recently read is that live view heats up the camera and heat is something that really effect the sensor cause more noise in your pictures. Is there any truth to this?
Please advise, if I buy an e420, which does not have anti shake in the body, would i be able to buy Leica lenses with the anti shake, and get a good overall result?
Im using the E-510 as well and i must say that the in body IS works very well especially in longer focal lengths.. You failed to see that E-system actually communicates with the body so even with longer focal lengths, the in body IS compensates for that.. =)

Very interesting, I'd always wondered how using both OS systems simultaneously would work.
Excellent video, very well presented.

also wanted to say awsome review, you really help me pick out this great camera
excellent video gordon ! keep them coming ...

Yes, the Leica lenses will work fine on the E410 and presumably the E420, but they are quite big, heavy and expensive...
That's right - basically the two systems conflict if they don't know about each other.
It's not that bad - I only had the E-510 about 10cm away from the camcorder microphone...

I am not a big fan in live view originally as well but it does help when u r using MF or when u r shooting object located pretty low
Wow that's interesting.

thanks for posting!
great video
Live view will be the trend! Lets see.
if only i could get this on my riflescopes LOL
