Thank you Mike for your thoughts and real world experiences with the Mk2. I am still undecided about getting a Mk2. I will wait for your next video after you get to go over your images of birds in flight.

Fantastic video. So educational and full of knowledge! Thank you so much, Sir.

Absolutely fascinating to watch, and possibly your best video yet, to my mind!! I had no idea a little owl would take a mole. Never too old to learn something new!

Wonderful footage. I too am fascinated by video and slow motion video. My last trip to Yellowstone was one where I spent several days working on video footage. Very fun stuff.

Mike, nice video as always. I was wondering what was the issue with your lens? How long it took to fix it? Is pro support making any difference in repair speed ?( e.g. was it repaired within claimed 3 days?) I have noticed sometimes peculiar issues with mine recently. It is often completely missing the focus of bird flight sequences without recovery when the background is changing (from rocks, trees to water, and backlit situations, etc). I was not sure if that is because of the switch to OM1 Mark 2 or because something is going on with my lens. My lens is approx. 2 years old and I used it extensively. I also experienced time to time brief blackouts with the lens, which improved with the lens firmware 1.1. I really love this lens and very reluctant to send it to repair when the problem is not black and white. I am afraid that a potentially costly repair will not improve anything or will make it even worst. thanks

Great work again Mike, several comments about making a video about video - you could spoil us with making one from start to finish inc the edit.

Are you still using the GH6 for videos, or just the OM-1?

Great video again, do you need a new camera for slow motion or can you slow it down in editing on a computer?

Fabulous Mike, as always a real pleasure to watch. Slow motion footage absolutely mesmerising. Top work indeed 👍

I must confess I find video a bit overwhelming to learn. I love watching others work, but there's so many variables I don't know where to start...................

I loved those slo mo woodpeckers, Mike.

This is simply phenomenal! Thanks!!

Hi Mike, great bit of slow motion video! As you say, I could watch slo-mo vid all day as well. Great shots of both the little owl & Gt spotted woodpecker, loved the shots where you can see it’s tongue probing into the cavities it’s just excavated, First class, more of the same!

Looks like a very successful day's filming, Mike. In some countries eg Indonesia, they keep owls as pets, much like we do with parrots.

Great footage. Apparently, the woodpecker's skull is specially designed to withstand repeated blows and to protect the bird's brain from concussion. Unlike other birds, the bones between the beak and the skull are joined by a flexible cartilage, which cushions the shock of each blow.

Great as usual. What is the deal with the owl's left eye?

Very enjoyable Mike. I’ve been there a couple of times but never seen the woodpeckers from the hide. Nor the mole capture. I’m hoping to return when I’m able to. Would the 150-600 be a good choice to replace my Canon prime, now sold to reduce the weight I carry?

Another enjoyable video... thanks, Mike!

Such a good video! (again!) The slow-motion GSW was wonderful. Thanks

Beautiful From 5:10-5:15 I see a bit of choppiness. I have seen this in other om1 videos. Is this a setting, a shortcoming or youtube compression?

Mike: How about a video for us non-video shooters about how to set up and video in slo-mo with the OM-1? Focus settings, when to hit the AF on button, metering mode, etc.?

I shoot a little bit of video with my Panasonic G9ii, but this woodpecker footage is on another level, absolutely fantastic thanks for sharing.

Excellent video. Loved the footage of the GSP Woodpecker. I am just starting my journey into video. There is a lot to learn especially with the editing. Hopefully I will start to get some footage and maybe look at putting it on you tube. Your channel has given me a lot of inspiration. Thanks.

Little Owl is not native to the UK, as you probably know. But now I hear for the first time that it is declining in your country. It is my favourite Owl species and few weeks ago I took some photographs of it for the first time in my life. I fed the birds with mealworms ;-)

Brilliant video Mike, I agree with you slow motion wildlife videos are great!

Superbe vidéo impressionnant le pic épeiche au ralentie ............................................................................................... Superb video impressing the spotted woodpecker in slow motion

Awesome... Thank you for sharing.

Great footage and a good point - I need to start taking more video, once I've got the shots in the bag!

Absolutely fantastic, thanks for sharing.

Always a treat starting the weekend with late morning coffee and a new video from you Mike! I was sceptic to the bird-eye detection but now when I have it , I love it. But I recently set it to of on my OM-1 when I use pro-capture. If there's more than one bird on a treestub and want to nail a bird-fight the focus tend to catch both birds better somehow. One thing I will try out is to follow the bird a little bit when it take of and then press the shutter fully down in pro-capture.Maybee I get more keepers then. But all my braincells are on the shutter so I usualy press right after the bird take of and end up with the one shot with fully wingspread.. Has anybody else thought about trying that?

"Watching birds in slow motion is fabulous" - it absolutely was! Lovely video. What a treat!

Great stuff again Mike 😊

Lovely footage, especially the Woodpeckers marking holes in slo mo. I don’t do much video, but do enjoy the slow-mo on my G9 ii, I got some lovely footage of Gannets landing at Bempton.

I enjoy the slow motion video. Nice to see you getting such great Owls close to home.

Wow! Fantastic and so inspiring! Thank you for sharing! 😊

Thank you very much for a great video. As always, it is a pleasure to see your photos and videos. I really like that you talk about how you work. What video setting on the OM-1 mkII did you use for slow motion on the woodpecker?

Magnificent footage Mike...Many thanks for sharing which is much appreciated.

Amazing footage. I lover watching in slowmo too. 1 LIKE for the video. Greetings from Singapore.

Your not kidding about slow motion Mike fascinating footage great work sir 👍📷

Exhalant Mike, it makes a great watch while you eat your breakfast on a rainy Saturday morning. No, I haven't tried slow motion, but after seeing that, I will give it a try.

@5:30 this woodpecker could really use some nicer looking slowmotion. G9II 120/25p nearly 5x slow motion would be really great. OM-1 unfortunately doesn't do this scene justice. I must say as a G9II and OM-1 owner it is hard for me to find usecase where the use of OM-1 would be advantageous to me.

Another great video Mike, fabulous footage of the GSW.

Wonderful shots and footage as always Mike. The OM1ii is indeed a wonderful camera!

One of your best Mike lovely video. With regard to the automation I personally don’t think it will ever replace the artistry and enthusiasm that people like yourself bring to Photography and videography.

Thanks Mike. Footage of Woodpecker is fantastic.

Lovely little film Mike

Excellent , as always. I gather Frederic wasn't having so much success with the flight shots ?

Great video mike enjoyed the slow motion and pro capture. I have just invested in the Sony A9iii for pre capture 120fps and better video auto focus. I couldn’t wait any longer for the features of the OM 1/2. Amazing tech these days. I thought I had better join the party 🎉

Hi Mike. Would be great if you could share your video settings for the OM-1 Mk II. I’ve struggled a bit finding settings that stay on focus with the subject (used with the 300mm F4 lens and x 1.4 teleconverter). Great video as always!
