For a clean HDMI output, with the E-M10 II, hold down the info button until the info disappears, that might be the same with the Mark IV. I know some capture cards will lock up when you do that but all you have to do is restart the capture card in the software and you will be good to go.

IMPRESSED! OLYMPUS Has come a long way from my first OM-10 to an OM-1, which I loved back in '83 - 90+, (and still do), but it also has a step above many other DSLRs. The Zuiko lens to name one. All the features are awesome, for the little camera. Bravo!!! for Olympus!
I am using the E-M10 II with the 14-150 II lens. I would appreciate 20 MP, so cropping Gannets In Flight pictures for 33x23 inch prints becomes less critical. I do selfies as introductions in videos. With the 180 degree tilt screen I could do this without guessing the correct body tilt. With the 100-400 lens as well, my moon shots may also go on 33x23 inch prints. Currently I use the SH-1 pocket zoom for frame filling Moon shots. But relying on x4 Digital Zoom, these are limited to use as background screen on my laptops. On the MarIV, is video ISO AUTO only, as on my Mark II? On my Mark II night videos, ISO AUTO totally counteracts my EV adjustments. I go to EV +2, and the ISO is reduced to give me the same video brightness as EV 0 does.
What's remarkable to me is you don't talk about the Moon, what you see there. Just tech. It's just a machine to capture an image. What is significant is the Moon, not the zoom lens. Ya'll miss the point. think again.
If this camera had a mic input I would buy one. Don't really understand why they didn't fit one when this upgrade is clearly aimed at vloggers. I'm still tempted and use a seperate sound recorder but it's a bit of a faff.
@@BandH I did not expect a reply, I’m super surprised 😅 but thank you nonetheless. I’m guessing from your remark, the Olympus’ IBIS is a selling factor over the Canon?
How do you use the flip down selfie screen if the camera is on a tripod? You answered this a year ago with only, "No it does not interfere.", but it has to. The tripod mount is in front of the screen when the screen is in the down position. Therefore the screen should be behind the tripod.
Thank you for pointing this oversight out to us. Although the LCD screen can be flipped down while the camera is mounted to a tripod, the view would unfortunately be blocked.
The answer may depend on the specific tripod you own and its design (unfortunately, we cannot test cameras on all tripods we carry). That being said, the 1/4"-20 female tripod thread on the base of the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV Digital Camera is located near the front of the camera, and the LCD screen on the rear of the camera has a hinge that hinges out and away from the camera body. If you are referring to using the touchscreen feature or using the camera for selfies, then yes, depending on the tripod you own, the center column may be in front of the screen (the selfie mode is more for hand-held or selfie-stick usage), but you may still be able to see around the center column for basic framing purposes. It will depend on your tripod, so your mileage may vary.
@@BandH While it's true that the camera automatically goes into selfie mode when the screen is flipped down 180°, that can be over-ridden in the settings to use the camera in any video mode with the screen down. There are a lot of content producers in the world who make video content of themselves using a tripod from a distance. Dancers, singers, actors, gymnasts, athletes, etc. They can all make content of themselves which, because of the nature of their activities, cannot be made while holding the camera in hand. But thank you for the candid reply. We decided to get the Lumix DC G95
No, you can mount Olympus LS-P4 recorder with inbuilt mic and high quality pre amps (or zoom h1n) on Olympus sm2 shock absorbing mount via hot shoe, for brilliant audio. Red35 uses this setup, very good results

I know this is an old video but, is anyone else bummed out that regular 4/3 lens work only in manual focus mode. WTF is up with that? I started with the 510 and bought many lens. (Yes I'm a lens horder) Then updated to the OMD m2 which uses the 4/3 lens perfectly with the adapter. (nearly went broke buying adapters for all the lenses) Now I notice that the mk4 won't autofocus with them. Can anyone show me otherwise?
Thank you, may i ask few questions- is the IBIS the same as Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III? May we do the same focus stacking (macro in mind) as the E-m1-3? Hows the battery life? Are the sensors the same? How is the eye-AF?
It does not appear that the cameras use similar in-body image stabilization. The Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III's in-body image stabilization is rated for up to 7 stops, while the in-body image stabilization for the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is rated for 4.5 stops. The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV does not have Focus Stacking or Focus Bracketing capabilities. According to CIPA testing, the included Olympus BLS-50 Lithium-Ion Battery is rated for approximately 360 images per charge. Olympus' website states that the Eye Priority AF uses the same algorithm used in their pro camera models and it reliably predicts your subject's movements.
first interesting comment, but for the same ridiculous price, you can get a Sony ZV1. and shoot 4k 24 unlimited. but alas Olympus ain't thinking, it's a company in demise, no innovation, the IV just a reiteration of the same ol' thing.

@@dude1diligence well the M50 is the best selling most popular "real" camera in Japan and here in the States, it's also popular. Most people when you ask about how much you are willing to pay for a camera say $500 range. So what can you get for that? the M50 is okay. If they add stable 4K, and some new features, it will sell 20x more than the R5 or EOSR line. Camera sales in general are a fraction of what they were just a short time ago.

It seems contradictory that influencers on RUclips talk about the end of the mft system because smartphones are more portable and more practical, but those same influencers highlight the benefits of FF !!! In my opinion, no system is more fun than mft! Compact, lightweight, and with all the necessary requirements for high-level photography and video. I don't know of any Smartphone capable of changing lenses, or receiving a supertele lenses, or professional MIC, or optical stabilization with quality! Likewise, I find Cameras FF (although great and ideal in some cenarios) absolutely gigantic (due to the laws of physics the lenses have to be gigantic) and heavy (in the Camera + lens set)!
