Question :
Approximately how many shots can be taken with a fully charged battery?

Answer:
The number of recordable shots with a fully charged BLX-1 battery are:

  • Approx. 500 shots when Quick Sleep Mode is Off
  • Approx. 1,010 shots when Quick Sleep Mode is On
  • * when using KIOXIA KSDXU-A064G, IS set to ON, without flash, based on CIPA standard



Question :
What is the approximate movie recording time with a fully charged battery?

Answer:
The approximate movie recording time with a fully charged BLX-1 battery are:

  • Approx. 90 min according to JEITA
  • Approx. 150 min when zooming or other operations are not used
Note:
  • - When the video taken with a SDXC card exceeds 3 hours, the video is automatically divided and the rest is saved as a separate file. (Depending on the shooting conditions, the file may be divided in less than 3 hours.)
  • - When the video taken with a SD/SDHC card exceeds 4 GB, the video is automatically divided and the rest is saved as a separate file. (Depending on the shooting conditions, the file may be divided in less than 4 GB.)



Question :
What is the approximate file size in each record mode?

Answer:
The following tables show the approximate values:

·When shooting in RAW mode
·When shooting in JPEG mode
·When shooting in High Res Shot (Tripod, Handheld)

Note:

The same image (OM Digital Solutions' standard image) is used to calculate the file size in each mode. The file size depends on the subject or the type of memory card.


When shooting in RAW mode
* Approximate file size when the aspect ratio is set to 4:3

Record Mode Image Size
(Pixel Size)
File Format File Size (Approx.)
RAW 5,184×3,888 ORF 22.4 MB

When shooting in JPEG mode
* Approximate file size when the aspect ratio is set to 4:3
* The default combination of JPEG image quality mode (image size and compression mode) is L-SF, L-F, L-N and M1-N.
* The compression rate for JPEG image quality mode is 1/2.7 in SF, 1/4 in F and 1/8 in N.

Regarding RAW recording 14bit for High Res Shot:
If you select 14bit in the recording bit setting for High Res Shot, the tone expression will be richer, but the file size will be larger. It takes time to process the image after shooting than that of the 12bit image. It is suitable to be edited later on a computer.
What is a ORI file?

When image quality mode is set to RAW+JPEG, a single RAW image (".ORI" extension) before combining is saved in addition to the combined High Res Shot. This RAW image can be played back in OM Workspace.




Question :
What is the approximate movie recording time in each mode?

Answer:
The following table shows the approximate values:

Video Codec H.265:

H.265 codec is a setting intended for editing on a computer, such as for video production. Although the file size can be compressed better compared to the H.264 codec, a TV or monitor that supports 10-bit input is required to play the videos with correct color and brightness. The videos cannot be played back in OM Workspace. If you do not have the equipment that allows you to playback or edit H.265 videos, set the recording codec to H.264.

Note:
  • - The video file format is MOV (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, H.265/HEVC).
  • - The table shows the values when set to the maximum frame rate. The actual recorded bit rate varies depending on the shooting scene or combination of frame rates.
  • - When the video taken with a SDXC card exceeds 3 hours, the video is automatically divided and the rest is saved as a separate file. (Depending on the shooting conditions, the file may be divided in less than 3 hours.)
  • - When the video taken with a SD/SDHC card exceeds 4 GB, the video is automatically divided and the rest is saved as a separate file. (Depending on the shooting conditions, the file may be divided in less than 4 GB.)



Question :
How do I change the functions assigned to the ISO or exposure compensation button?

Answer:
You can assign a frequently used function to the (exposure compensation) button or ISO button in Button Function to make the assigned function available just by pressing each button.

Different button settings (functions) can be assigned to the same button for still photography and movie mode.



Assigning Digital Tele-converter to the (exposure compensation) button

The following procedure explains how to assign a function to each button.
Digital Tele-converter is assigned to the (exposure compensation) button in this procedure.

1. Set the mode dial to still photography mode or movie mode.
(You can assign a different button function for still photography mode and movie mode.)

2. Display the super control panel by pressing the [OK] button. Select on the right side of the super control panel and press the [OK] button.



3. Select a button where to assign a function using the arrow pad Up and Down button and press the arrow pad Right button.
The button is selected in this procedure.



4. Select (Digital Tele-converter) using the arrow pad button and press the [OK] button. (In movie mode, you can select Movie Tele-converter that enables you to choose the magnification position.)



5. Check whether the (Digital Tele-converter) is displayed next to .



After the setting, press the button in shooting screen to turn on the Digital Tele-converter. The center of the image is cropped, enabling you to shoot the image in approximately twice the original size. Press the button again to turn off the Digital Tele-converter.

Note:
  • - When the Digital Tele-converter is On, the icon is displayed at the top of the monitor.
  • - You can also turn on/off the Digital Tele-converter in the camera menu. Press the [Menu] button. In , select 2.Other Shooting Functions and change the setting in Digital Tele-converter.


  • - In still photography mode, the Digital Tele-converter cannot be used in multiple exposure, keystone compensation and fish-eye correction shooting. In movie mode, it cannot be used in high-speed movie recording.
  • - A frame is displayed when you playback the images taken in RAW mode, indicating the cropped area with the Digital Tele-converter.


Question :
How do I display the menu with my right hand by assigning the MENU button function to the erase button?

Answer:
If you set the Menu operation by function to Yes, you can use the button instead of the MENU button to operate the menu, enabling you to display the menu with your right hand which will be convenient in some shooting situation.

If this function is enabled, the button operates as the MENU button in shooting standby and menu display, and as the button in playback display.



How to display the menu using the button instead of the MENU button

1. Press the [MENU] button. In , select Button Settings in 1. Operations and press the [OK] button.



2. Select Menu operation by using the arrow pad Up and Down button and press the [OK] button.



3. Select Yes using the arrow pad Up and Down button and press the [OK] button.



4. Check whether Yes is displayed next to the Menu operation by .



Question :
I cannot shoot in shutter speed 1/640 or 1/160 second, or slower. Why?

Answer:
When sequential shooting mode is set to SH2 (High-speed Sequential SH2) or ProCap SH2 (Pro Capture SH2), the slowest shutter speed is limited to the following:

  • When Max fps is set to 50fps: 1/640 second
  • When Max fps is set to 25fps, 16.7fps or 12.5fps: 1/160 second
If you want to shoot in a slower shutter speed, set to other sequential shooting modes.
Note:
In SH1 (High-speed Sequential SH1) or ProCap SH1 (Pro Capture SH1), the slowest shutter speed is limited to 1/15 second.


Question :
How do I open the "Highlight&Shadow Control" display?

Answer:
There are three ways to open the Highlight&Shadow Control display on OM-1 Mark II.



1. Using super control panel / LV super control panel
In super control panel / LV super control panel, select Exposure Compensation / Highlight & Shadow Control. Press the [OK] button to open the Highlight & Shadow Control display.



2. Using Exposure Compensation button and Info button
In shooting screen, press the (Exposure Compensation) button and then the Info button to open the Highlight & Shadow Control display.



3. Using Multi Function
You can open the Highlight & Shadow Control display using the Multi Function (Multi Fn), which is a function for setting multiple function with a single button.

Assign the Multi Function (Multi Fn) to a button in Button Function setting in advance, referring to the following question:
How do I change the functions assigned to the ISO or exposure compensation button?

While pressing the button where the Multi Function is assigned, turn the front or rear dial to select Highlight&Shadow Control, and then release the button. In shooting screen, press the assigned button again to open the Highlight & Shadow Control display.
