After the first power I had once performed a firmware update.
By disconnecting the program (from olympus.de) "Olympus Digital Camera Updater"
install on the PC, run the program, connect the camera to the PC and switch,
Program finds the camera and looking for a firmware update.
Only after I had made the other camera settings.
User profile: opportunity clippers, often in rooms
(Omma's birthday, Christmas, ... but also outside)
So far I had compact cameras, Spiegelrefelx Pentax Kr, Pentax MX-1, Sony DSC-WX220 last.
Somehow I was able to make friends with nothing really - especially because of the unsatisfactory
Image quality in low light with the compact cameras.
SLR made very good photos, but the size of the equipment ...
The MX-1: very good and solid workmanship, very good photos.
But the sensor with 1 1/7 inch rapid has his limits.
Very compact, the MX-1 is not, but I knew that before, and I wanted that.
Sony DSC-WX220: very compact, fast receptive, but the photo quality .... No;
in rooms that was then but nothing at all that was nothing.
For some reason I got to the MFT system.
The MFT System (was'n dat?) I had unfortunately ignored and underestimated for far too long.
Logical: compared to APS-C devices are MFT cameras with the smaller sensors only slightly
and the lenses for much more compact.
Compared seems to me the image quality of a MFT for a user like me
to be far worse than APS-C!
The MFT image quality for my needs simply fantastic (in rooms already!).
Why Olympus E-PL5:
I admit, the price is very pleasant, especially in view of the performance.
Only Olympus cameras have image stabilization on the sensor, not the objective;
which makes the lenses cheaper and more flexible (Pancake is ;-) stabilized,
Panasonic and Fuji not).
The processing and haptics fascinates me; good weight, Controls
such as buttons have a rich tactile feedback.
Manual zoom - that I can zoom in peace with millimeter accuracy on the lens ring
adjust and thus hold the camera with both hands.
The photo quality is, in my amateur assessment for me very well,
and already in rooms. Even in areas ISO 1600 sharp, low-noise photos.
The E-PL5 is not greater than a Pentax MX-1; up to the larger objective.
Nevertheless, the E-PL5 fits into the pocket of the MX-1 (figure-hugging ...).
The Automatic "iAuto" trying to stay in the lower three-digit ISO areas.
"IAuto" makes my impression judging really good photos.
The manual settings are if you want the very extensive and very detailed possible
something I known not at all up to now - that there is to adjust everything ...
The function of the software in detail seems to be working very well and practical,
What the photo results concerns (so my assessment), very accurate - hats off.
The menu is very extensive, but I do not think it is particularly confusing.
You have to deal with it alone.
Even "snapping" I in the setting "iAuto", or "P".
For the more advanced are not very detailed manual controls
available. With the kit lens I come so far very good. I may take in the future
the 40-150 to which are for 149 to buy in silver already new.
I am aware that there are better in the photo result lenses (real even better?)
if you want it or need - for my application
is this "basic" but so far totally more than satisfactory!
The beautiful now is: there always remains the possibility to change the lenses in the future.
Thus, the Micro Four Thirds System is for me just right: compact and yet somehow
professionally. For "promoted" from the compact clippers area with the desire for compactness
and the desire for beautiful and sharp pictures seems MFT to be right;
but I guess MFT so that even more professional users may have their pleasure.
Because so far as someone like me is always assumed that only an SLR
or a system camera with APS-C sensor large "for good photos guarantee" - large equipment rucksack included.
What a fallacy - a look beyond the mainstream towards MFT is worthwhile.
In the eye I had a Samsung NX3000 (yes, even for reasons of price) - but they look
to times the size of the lens; and then: what options I have in lens selection? You see ...
And already is a "chance clippers" an interested in more Olympus owners.
Olympus E-PL5 as a brand and a model have impressed me sustainably.
I can use the E-PL5 as fully automatic, or dig deep in the manual settings;
in both cases the result is true (manually: if you do because it has ;-)).
Toll!
Why do I only have the MFT system and especially Olympus so long ignored?
