I agree with you, don't worry about shooting with high ISO just fear the appearance of Noise. Because it can be overcome with Denoise software. The proof, just look at the pictures you shared are really sharp and beautiful. Thanks for sharing. 1 LIKE from Singapore.
Hi Richard! Hope you're doing well. I actually took the plunge recently and went up to 6400 ISO on my EM-1 MARK II. Bad light, in the woods, but I wanted my owl shots😅. Take care!
Hi Blaine. Yes no need to be afraid to shoot that high..I was hesitant at first but with good technique and some good software…great results can be got. Take care👍🙏😀
Hello again Richard, some great photos in this video. When I had my Panasonic G9, (with 100 - 400) anything above 6400 ISO it would struggle, but recently I was taking photos in ancient woodland with my OM1 ( and 150 - 400 lense) and the ISO was up to 25600, I couldn't believe how good they came out, so now I don't worry about high ISO's at all, I know they will usually come out OK no matter what.
That's the best attitude to have Chris. At one point I put 1600 in my camera settings as rmax ISO I wanted auto ISO to go.. but after trying higher ISOs I realised that the camera does great way higher then that🙏🙏 Thank you
Hi Richard, just found your channel, fantastic shots with the OM 1. I recently got one myself after years with the omd1 mk2, I also have a 12-40 & 40-150 both f2.8 pro. Loving the system still got lots to learn, thanks to videos like this. 👍
All beautiful images Richard! With the right techniques and correct exposure plus the good editing tool, I never hesitate to shoot at ISO 12,800. People also need to have the right expectation as well how much to crop at that very high ISO. Always fill the frame as much as possible. Look forward for your next video, mate. Cheers.
Thanks so much. Yes cropping definitely plays a big part in what you can achieve in terms of the final image… but if you can fill the frame.. then 12800 is good to go🙏🙏😀👍
Hi Richard. This is the first of your videos that I’ve seen. The photos are fantastic and it’s great to hear you have had a similar positive experience with the OM-1 and high ISOs. I’m looking forward to watching your previous videos and hope you have the opportunity to upgrade to the OM-1 Mark II. I think you’ll love it. - Mick Thompson - Seattle, Washington
Thanks so much Mick. Appreciate the kind words. I'm not sure if I will be updating to the MK 2 just now as I recently got a Nikon z8 to use alongside my OM1. Anyway thanks again and take care🙏
Wonderful pictures and excellent discussion. I've been using an OM1 with the OM 100-400 lens for a couple of years now, and have many excellent shots taken at ISO 12800 and higher. In fact, I don't even start to think about something being "high ISO" until ISO 6400 is well in the rear-view mirror. On a recent trip to Ecuador, photographing in deep shadow in the jungle before 7:00AM I could see that my buddies with full-frame sensors were getting somewhat better results, but those were about as extreme conditions as I have ever really tried to take pictures in. I have primarily used ON1 Photo Raw as my software. Do you have any sense of the comparison between the Panasonic/Leica 100-400 lens and the M.Zuiko 100-400 lens? I am a bit dissappointed with the M.Zuiko lens because I think it gets a bit soft beyond about 300mm. Thanks,
@@richardfichera2971 Hi Richard and thanks again. I have never tried the Zuiko 100400 but my PL100400 really surprised me with how good it was. I had heard about sample variation but mine was great and it's so small. I did quite a few videos using that lens when I started the channel. Sorry I can't be more helpful, but to me my PL lens did pretty well beyond 300mm👍🙏
Thanks so much Maarten. Maybe I'm lucky in that I have more time to get out and practice than you. Practice and continually trying to improve.. That's all it is! Take care
Very nice, all good! I particularly like the first one though at ISO 12800, I’m not sure what species it is? I use Auto ISO quite a lot and it can go up to 12800. For birds I mostly control the shutter speed in M mode and just let the auto ISO do its thing.
For me, everything is about *IS THAT OK* to *SELL AS PRINT* on that ISO. Because I'd not personally go further than 6400 on that sensor. For me at Sony A6400 everything above ISO 8000 was "cartoonish" and VERY FLAT alike after denoise. Though Sony A7IV holds up ISO 12.800.
@@richardfink7666 I thought that shooting at F4 in the morning, backlit situations or just morning/sunrise photos like, over the water level should not be any problem? Where would be these problems like, in morning? When object is dark, and you pull out shadows?
That first photo taken at 12,800 was thick in the jungle. I overly exposed loads and still raised the shadows in post but because I filled the frame and used the correct techniques it would definitely be good enough to print to at least A3 I reckon, although I haven’t printed it so can’t confirm 👍

Thanks James. Glad you liked the video🙏🙏
All wow shots Richard. I have the same combo OM-1 & 300 f4, sadly nowhere near the same results as you!
Thanks so much Maarten. Maybe I'm lucky in that I have more time to get out and practice than you. Practice and continually trying to improve.. That's all it is! Take care

Are these all edited or SooC? I want to make photos to be away from the computer.
@@mipmipmipmipmip-v5x I hear you. But shooting at high isos needs editing... No way around it🙏👍

If the light is good that`s not a problem.

With the OM1 it`s better to overexpose slightly because brightening the shadows tends to create noise.@@pentagramyt417

One photon is more beautiful than the other! One more thing how is the Z8?
He should do some comparison on that ISO's at the same target if possible.
@@pentagramyt417 In the comparison (noise) the Z8 is better.
@@richardfink7666 Would like to see that, though still you need to use equivalents, and crop factor, picture, to picture.
Thanks so much Richard. Haven’t been out much with it yet, but so far have to say I love it🙏👍😀
@@pentagramyt417 Need to spend some more time with the Nikon first but maybe in the future👍
