• 2 questions, unrelated to each other.

    No 1. Does anyone use Olympus OM-D? The automatic setting has been taking very washed out photos, there is no depth to the colours at all. When I use any of the priority options or full manual the colours are very rich. Would anyone be willing to share their colour settings so I can see where I have gone wrong/can improve?

    No 2. Has anyone used the Ricoh GXR. I really want one, purely as something to play with, it looks amazing and weird. I don't need it at all but its so enticing... However for a 2nd hand camera with scarce parts its a lot of money. Especially If it turns out I'd not get on with it. Ive also seen you can get it with an M mount box which would be cool.

  • I use OM-D (an EM5.2) but not much help on colour as 90% of my output Is B&W so I have the jpeg set up in B&W to give me an idea what it’s going to look like, but then process the RAW file (through Luminar 4 then Silver-FX Pro). If the priority options give you a look you’re happy with, can you not just use those settings in auto? Is it possible you’ve accidentally clicked an option in the crazy complicated Olympus menus that is washing out the colour in the auto option?

  • I think I have nudged some option in a sub menu somewhere, its very frustrating. I usually use the camera in aperture priority, but occasionally use the auto for some things where I don't know what I'm doing.

    I suppose I am getting better at making decisions and learning a bit more this way, so its not all bad.
