Take Stunning Shots Using Olympus’ Live Composite Feature
After my interview with Australia’s first professional Instagrammer “Lauren Bath”, Olympus was kind enough to send me their Olympus E-M1X Mirrorless Camera. During our interview, Lauren talked about its “Live Composite” feature and today, I’m going to talk about my experience with this camera during our first test shoot at Bixby Creek Bridge.

Jared (my producer) and I were blown away with the quality of the shots produced by the Olympus E-M1X Mirrorless Camera. It’s not surprising because it comes with superior resolution Olympus Pro lenses that beautifully capture stunning shots like no other. It’s also easier to move around and find the perfect spot since its packaged in a lightweight and compact system.
What I like about this camera is that I can conveniently access up to 35 commands right away. Its Customizable Menu Interface allows me to customize a variety of settings. I don’t have to dive deep in the menus just to make that happen. It’s pretty organized and can be done just by pressing specific buttons.

Another interesting feature worth talking about is the powerful processing of its “Live Composite” feature. This feature automatically takes continuous raw shots in a fast manner (up to 18 frames per second) with precision and composites them into one sharp Handheld 50 MP high resolution image. You can use either its electronic shutter (up to 60 fps S-AF / 18 fps C-AF) or mechanical shutter (15 fps S-AF / 10 fps C-AF). You also don’t have to worry about missing certain elements of the photo that you want to include. This camera allows you to frame particular subjects instead of focusing with its Air-Based Intelligent Subject Detection Autofocus feature.

Another cool thing about this is that it comes with two batteries. It’s the only camera that I’ve ever had with two complete batteries. This is very useful, especially during video shoots because you have a backup. This allows you to extend your shooting time without the risk of losing your momentum even in harsh conditions. With its Weathersealed Performance and Innovative TECH features, you can definitely trust and rely on this fantastic camera’s ability to capture awe-inspiring shots even when the going gets tough. You can simply toss out your rain cover if you like as this is expertly sealed to be Splashproof, Dustproof and Freezeproof.
Test Your Equipment
Before I end this, I want to share something that can help save you from a ton of embarrassment. One of the most important things that you need to remember is to test an equipment before you go. I photographed a meeting when I was a kid but I didn’t test the equipment beforehand. It was one of the most horrifying experiences of my life because every image is unusable.
In order to eliminate your risk of failing, always keep in mind to Test Your Equipment, especially if it’s something that you’ve never used before. Just because you’re familiar with how a particular equipment works, it doesn’t mean a similar equipment works the same way.
Remember that no matter what, remember to get out and capture your own images of life!
