Comments
“ The sensor is the same, but in the E M1X, Olympus shifted the dynamic range towards the shadows and gave away some of the highlights. The E M1 II is better in highlights, worse in shadows. Same sensor, different calibration, that is all. „
“ ...the E-M1X sensor is an updated version of the mark II one (not just tweaks concerning DR, but also updated coating and micro lenses). „
“ One little annoyance of the E-M1X is that the camera only displays the remaining charge for one battery at the time on the LCD screen or EVF, even if you have two inside. When the first battery is about to run out, the icon starts to blink red which makes you wonder if the other battery is charged. Once the first battery is dead, the camera automatically switches to the second. The only way to see how the two batteries are doing is to go into Battery Status in the Menu (Custom J2). „
“ On both cameras it is recommended that you set the AF-C Sensitivity to +2 to make sure the AF is as reactive as possible when correcting focus. It might prompt the camera to change focus a bit too quickly if multiple birds are in the frame, but otherwise it is essential to ensure a better keeper rate. „
