<p>Than you for the answers.<br> I wrote an answer, but i seems to have evaporated completely.<br /><br /><br> I try once more.<br> On my 12-40 there is a manual/auto ring for choosing focusing mode. I ca swap swiftly between the two modes witout taking the viewer away from my eye.<br> From my point of view a ring for choosing between autoexposure and a certain aperture without having to take the camera away from the eye, in my opinion, would be very useful.<br> I do not see that fiddling with menues is a great progress.</p>

<p>I have used FT-lenses, FT teleconverter and MFT-adapter on my E-M1.<br />It worked just fine.<br> But is it possible to use a MFT teleconverter and a MFT adapter on the camera so<br />that the MFT converter will work with both FT and MFT lenses?</p> <p>And I have a wish to Olympus:<br />Please get the aperture adjustment back to the lenses and a separate shutter dial on the camera.<br> The present solution isn't good enough.</p>

<p>Nathaniel,<br> I only shoot in .jpg + .orf with original lenses, like the 12-40, 12-50, 50-200, 7-14 etc.<br> But I think fundamental issues as adjusting WB should be simple and starightforeward. I love the MF ring on 12-40 and wish for the aperture adjustment be on the future lenses also - time setting on camera, not only in the menus.</p><div></div>

<p>Thank you very much Phil.<br />Something is rotten in the kingdom of Denmark:<br />In the SCP the WB is greyed out whatever I do. The only way is through the Live Panel, which is too limited.<br />And when I try to invoke the SCP i get stuck in the Flash menu - which do not work.<br> This should be very simple. But i isn't. <br />I wonder why.</p>

<p>Thank you so much JW and Gerry.<br />Now I have something to study in the Christmas.<br />Merry Christmas to both of you here from Norway, this distant corner of the world.<br />Frode</p><div></div>

<p>Thank you JW,<br />I have tried all the settings on that dial, but with no success.<br />I am wandering if it might be a bug.</p>

<p>It seems impossible to set white balance in E-M1. It is not difficult to find it in the menu. But it is greyed out and completely inaccessible. I have tried to change other menu settings to get access, but no. The control panel, invoked by pressing OK, is seemingly stuck to the external flash settings.<br> Which leads to the next problem: <br />My FL-35 will not operate on E-M1, but it works perfectly on my E-P3.<br />I must have pressed some wrong button - but which - and where?</p>

<p>Thank you very much. <br />Converting all recordings is a solution, but not an optmal solution. I use a few converters, but it takes unnecesseary time.<br> I will try tu dig into the menus and find what I did not find earlier.</p>

<p>I certainly did not by E-M1 to shoot videos. <br />But I find myself more and more shooting videos. Regretably the output seems to be in Quick Time format. This is annoying as my post processing programs do not accept this format. My E-P3 produces AVCHD output which is widely accepted in my preferred post processing programs.<br />Is there a way to make E-M1 produce the same AVCHD video output as in E-P3?</p>

<p>Racoons does not exist here. But I have considered buying long haired musk ox yarn and get knitted a "dead cat". Bur so far the one I got seems ok so far, even in moderate wind gusts.<br />Yesterday I went to record bird songs. But they were hard to spot, so identification may be tricky.<br />The Panasonic mic worked quite fine and I got several crisp and clear bird recordings from about 40 - 150 feet away, in a valley about ten miles north of Ålesund, where I live.</p><div></div>

<p>Thank you Gerry,<br> the main purpose is to record bird sounds. <br />So - if the microphone is primarily unidirectional, I am quite happy. I intended to buy a Røde, but the "dead cat" was nearly as expensive. The Panasonic was said to be better om long distance. So I went for it. <br />I have microphones for E-M1, both a battery powered shotgun and the SEMA1 and ME51S, but none suited for bird recordings.<br />Thank you very much for so being helpful.<br /><br />Frode Inge Helland.<br> Ålesund, Norway.</p> <h1> </h1>

<p>I bought this shotgun to use on my E-M1 and LS-14.<br />The takeup pattern can be adjuste from omnidirectional to unidirectional. But it turned out tha it could only be operated throught the GH3 menus. I can't find this options in the E-1 menus.<br> So, has anybody came across a software that permits me to adjust the microphone without thr GH3?<br> Any tricks up the sleeve?</p>
