- Link to Gavin Hoey custom modes video - • Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark...
Having recently posted a video about being sometimes frustrated at the dynamic range of a micro 4/3rds sensor, some of you suggested that I should learn how to use bracketing on the Olympus cameras. In my investigation of this function I also stumbled across a way of completely automating the act of creating a bracketed sequence of images. This video outlines how it is done.

THANK YOU! I have long been looking for this!
For some reason I had had a blockage about trying to set up a custom function. Your video made it seem so simple that I finally did it
Fantastic to hear, and thank you for letting me know!
Thank you for explaining something that was also frustrating to me👍
Many thanks. Do also take a look at Gavin's video on the same topic as he explains it very well.
Great video..I am excited to try this !
Hi Huw: A very interesting video, and I am glad that you got this worked out. When I was shooting Olympus I found that Gavin's CZcams channel provided some great information. This just goes to show you that Olympus always has a way to solve for issues but somethings they are not the most elegant solution to get find. Keep well . . . Cheers, Keith
Thank you Keith. You are right, CZcams is an excellent resource for "how to" and I use it a lot to find out how to do the things that I want. I would say though that there is not a huge amount out there about OM-D and bracketing, and combining it with a custom shutter - hence making this video to give it a shout out! Hope all is well where you are sir.
Thanks Huw! I will now explore the Custom Shutter options...By the way I have the exact same model and must recommend the “long eyecup” accessory. It’s cheap and helps with these sunny evenings as well as being more comfortable on the nose.
You are most welcome, and thank you for the eyecup advise. Never heard of that one but will do some investigations and look it up. Thank you for leaving a comment and for the support.
Thank you Huw ... This was driving me nuts too. Very helpful. Gotta love the lake District 🙌
Thank you. You are most kind.
Very well done presentation Huw...as usual...thank you for the help.
Thank you Scott. Most kind sir
Thanks Huw!
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment. It is appreciated.
I use HDR ‘3f 2.0EV’ (shooting menu 2 omd em5 mk3) - 1 click of the shutter & 3 RAW exposures - have HDR set to button on camera -easy
Thanks Robert. I had no idea that the system would behave like that! Many thanks for the top tip and the info
Good video Huw - whilst you talk about the Olympus, the principle can apply to any system, for example I use Nikon and occasionally use bracketing (more so before investing in a filter system) but I had not thought about assigning it to a custom setting, so thank you for that.
Thanks Paul. Bracketing is a principal that I struggled to grasp on the OM-D system so now I've found a way to work it I just had to set it down on video just in case there was someone else out there with the same challenge :)
A great video. I had totally missed that you can configure a custom selftimer to take multiple images. If you only need a moderate increase of the dynamic range I think that an alternative could be to use the handheld high res. mode. That should also reduce the noise a lot so that it would be easier to lighten the shadow areas in post. I am new to your channel and have still a lot to learn about Olympus cameras, and I have immediately subscribed after having realized the number of useful videos.
Thank you Henrik. Most kind and grateful for your support. Hi-res is reported to result in a dynamic range increase, but in practice I've still found the highlights to be more of a challenge to recover in software. You are right though, the Olympus RAW files are reasonably good at recovering shadow details without introducing too much noise.
You need to go into the hdr options, not exposure bracketing. Easy to customise to a button such as the +/- knob, no need for a custom mode. +/- 0.3 ev is very low for overcoming dynamic range limitations. I generally shoot 3x at +/- 2, more if it's a sunset.
Thanks Mike. I’ve tried the HDR options and just couldn’t get on with them, hence my resorting to the “old fashioned” approach however I agree with your sentiment on the bracketing gap. With a bit more experience I have made my brackets wider as you suggested.
Great video ! I find the custom settings handy, it’s like having 4 different cameras to hand :-)
Thank you Steve. I'll be honest that I'm glad I found Gavin's video to explain the process, but now I know all about it I am as pleased as punch! You have a good weekend sir!
@@huwalban I find Rob Treks Olympus videos pretty good for navigating the menus.
@@stevepereira3604 Thanks, I'll take a look :)
I found this video very useful and looks an excellent workaround. So, I thought I’d try it on my new Olympus System OM-1 and I’m unable to make it work. When I set the custom timer button as you have done, then go to select bracketing (any bracketing) it changes to sequential shooting! How incredibly annoying this is….thank you for this, all the same
Many thanks for your kind words. It would appear on the OM-1 they have changed the way this is implemented. It would be work checking Gavin Hoey's CZcams channel as I'm told it is a treasure trove of advice on the OM system. Additionally, there is a Facebook group called "Olympus OM-D Owners Group UK" which has one of the ambassadors - a chap called Dax Smith - who is also very knowledgeable and helpful. Many thanks for watching and I hope that I've been able to point you in useful direction.
@@huwalban thank you so much for replying to my comment, it is very much appreciated especially considering how long ago the video was posted. I will take a look at the suggestions you have made, thanks again and all the best
Perfick explanation Huw, bugged me to bits with the single multiple presses for the BKT!
Thank Mike. It bugged me for ages. Thank heavens for CZcams!
Hi Huw , thanks so much for this video , I am an amateur and have the Olympus E_620 , I have just started looking a bracketing so after watching this I as excited to give it a go , I use Olympus workspace for my post production, Have you had a look at stacking the images post production ? Thanks again have subed and looking for to viewing more of your videos . Pete Western Australia
Greetings Pete, and many thanks for your very kind words. I have tried bracketing in post, but I'm more inclined to try to use the camera in the field if I can - after all I've paid out for the technology so I may as well try to use it. You are right though - there are many ways to achieve a similar result! Stay safe out there.
Cool workaround, Huw. I think my camera will run the continuous drive until all bracketed shots are made and then pause. I think the real moral of this story is to spend a lot of time getting to know our cameras. Thanks.
Thank you Jim. You are absolutely correct of course, although this combination of functions appear to be little talked about hence me making a video about it. Hope all is well with you sir.
@@huwalban The custom mode for bracketing is slick. I bet it becomes popular in the OM community.
What a convoluted way of getting to a simple task like bracketing, I rarely use it, but it is so much simpler on my Canon, sorry! Still a great video on getting a great shot with tricky light situations, thanks Huw
I agree Roger. It is waaaay simpler on my Sigma fpL too, but hey each system is different with its own strengths and weaknesses.
Hi, I am trying to configure continuous automatic shooting as shown in the video but when I have activated the BKT mode it does not let me activate it, that option is disabled. If I remove the BKT and if I get the option but both at the same time impossible, what could be the problem? I am using an OM1.
Thanks
Hello there. Many thanks for watching my video and for leaving a comment. Unfortunately I am not a user of the OM-1, so am unable to answer your question. However, there is an Olympus group on Facebook called "Olympus OM-D Owners Group UK" and one of the contributors - a chat known as Dax Smith - appears to be very knowledgeable on matters relating to the OM-1. If you are able to join this group then you may be able to ask Dax directly and get an answer to your question. Hope this is helpful. Thanks, and seasons greetings.
Glad you got it sorted, but what a ffaff?
On my Panasonic G9 in comparison, how easy this is; simply select from the menu the number of frames for bracketing, EV steps and in which order the shots are taken.
Then assign one of the customisable buttons on the camera to bracketing, job done, all bracketed images taken in one shutter press. A simple flick of a switch to turn bracketing on / off.
Yeah, it is the same on my Sigma fpL. Thing is that each camera system will have its own approach to procedures like this. I wouldn't say that the OMD one is overly complicated once you have it set up, but I would say that it took some working out - hence the video to share it. Thanks for watching Jon and thank you for leaving a comment - all greatly appreciated.
Hi Huw,
Does hand held bracketing cause motion blur?
Great question - I'll be honest I don't know. With the IS on, unless the +1 & 3/4 stops image was "really" slow, I suspect that you'd get away with it.
Hello Huw, what L bracket are you using? Thank you!
Hello Jorge. OM-D E-M1 Mark ii L Plate (also fits Mark iii) - amzn.to/2ShLusK It is not the perfect l-bracket, but it does the job. Hope this is of help.
@@huwalban thank you!!
Hi Huw
Have just watched your ex marketing video, going to see if I can set the mk2 IP the same.
Can i ask which, L bracket you use please?
It's something I've been after for a while
Thanks
Stephen
Ha ha, I assure you that it is not a marketing ploy :) It was something that I was struggling with until I found Gavin's video, so this is my attempt to spread the word further because I was sure that I wouldn't be the only one. The answer to your question is: OM-D E-M1 Mark ii L Plate (also fits Mark iii) - amzn.to/2ShLusK It isn't the most perfect l-bracket out there, but it does the job.
@@huwalban
Hi Huw
The word marketing should have read bracketing. It’s down to short fat fingers on a small iPhone key board.
Should have read the post before sending
Thanks for the info
@@Koala260 He he he, no issues bud :) Have a great day.
Does that produce better output than using the HDR feature? That takes all the shot automatically.
Thanks David. I might be wrong but I'm sure that the HDR function only produces a JPG. Bracketing and then combining in software results in a TIF or other format that can still be worked as a RAW file, with all the advantages that that gives us. Please do check this though on your own model of OM-D camera. It was certainly the case on my original E-M1 and PEN-F cameras.
@@huwalban yes, I believe you are right about the .jpg. Bracketing is the way to go to keep things raw.
@@davejsullivan I think that HDR1 & HDR2 produce a jpg but the other modes produce raw files. You get the result with 1 click of the shutter.
I use HDR ‘3f 2.0EV’ (on omd em5 mk3) 1 click of the shutter & 3 RAW exposures
@@huwalban HDR 1 &2 will shoot both a jpeg and RAW image if you have your camera set to RAW.
