Correct, basically you're holding the lens not the camera !Bart,
I'm confused sorry. You had the grip on your em1.1 but you did not get it for your em1.2 and the handling is manageable with the 300/4?

The E-M1 Mark II allows you to assign power switching responsibilities to the function lever (where the AEL/AFL button is), so if you normally switch AF or burst shooting modes using the super control panel rather than the buttons on the left side of the camera, you can control all camera functions with your right hand, freeing up your left hand to concentrate on lens support and control. This comes in handy especially when shooting with a telephoto lens which generally requires more support.
To assign power switching to the function lever:
1) Press MENU
2) From the Custom Menu, go to B. Button/Dial/Lever
3) Select Fn Lever/Power Lever
4) Select either Power 1 or Power 2, depending on which position you want ON and OFF to be in
5) Press OK
Keep in mind that when you assign power switching to the function lever, the power switch lever will not function.
So I got my Em1ll couple of questionsFrom Olympus FB Timeline: have to try it this weekend ...![]()
That is SO very personal Steven.Onto lens choice I currently have the 40-150/2.8 and I purchased a refurbished 12-40/2.8 for $525 direct from Olympus
Not sure if it's worth the extra money to pop for the new 12-100/4 and return my 12-40/2.8
Any thoughts ?
Hi Steven, happy shooting with the EM1.2 !So I got my Em1ll couple of questions
Does anyone know of any online videos on how to configure the camera?
I realize it's totally customizable though a good starting point would be helpful

I'm also getting back into M43, but I've only used the 5.2s for video recently and have an M1.2 and 12-100 coming that I will be able to work with in another month, so this is just my current plan, not current experience. The 12-100 has fantastic stabilization. With the M1.2, at its wide end, shots with exposure times of several seconds seem to be within reach. If that sounds interesting, then swap the 12-40 for the 12-100. For low light, I much prefer the 25/1.4 PanaLeica and the 75/1.8 Olympus, which are both awesome quality lenses, and the 12/1.8 and 45/1.8 are both pretty good, cheap, and very light. Don't go crazy customizing all the buttons on the camera, at least not until you learn how to save them when a firmware upgrade comes along... I use more than one make of camera, and I can't remember all that stuff, so I try to figure out how to do what I want with all the default settings. Incidentally, in the US there are $200 rebates available from Olympus when you are turning in older equipment.So I got my Em1ll couple of questions

Another reason to keep the 12-40 is it is compatible with focus bracketing and focus stacking.Sorry for late reply!
I would keep the 12-40, this is a spectacular lens and part of it is its fast aperture. This is really my workhorse lens for m43. I think the 12-100 would be a perfect one lens setup for light travel.
I am looking to get a 4/300 used, but that might take some time as not so much lenses of this type are out there yet.
Great to know, will try asap tomorrow
Hmm just looked at my usb connection and the e-m1.2 uses a usb c connector. This new cable u bought should come in handy for future devices like phone s tablets etc.Update worked really well, keeping all my settings.
Only problem was I had to buy a new USB cable as I managed to loose my original one - and this cable has a special connector on the camera side :banghead:
