I use my lens hood when I'm travelling and don't want to have lens cap on.. it protect the any dust or water droplet on the lens when drizzle..
But it does help a lot to reduce flare when u have a bright light, like Sun, on ur top 4 corner..

guys, can i know what is the best price for Ep3 and Epl3 in the market now?
and im getting my 1st 4/3, so can u guys explain which should i get Ep3 or Epl3.
thnks a lot!

e-p3 rm2700
e-pl3 rm2300

if budget low, go for e-pl3 or e-pm1 and buy any prime lens like Panasonic 20mm 1.7 (rm1450)

details difference between e-p3 and e-pl3 and some intro e-pm1

Help, sifus recently upgraded from ep2 to ep3 found pic abit smudge... Why... Setting same with my ep2 also... Any master ep users facing this prob be4??

try check your noise reduction and noise filter setting

Noise reduction -off
Noise filter- normal...

Any better ones?

NR - Auto
NF - Low/Off
Mode - Muted, -1 Sharpness
Gradation - Normal
Exposure Shift - -1/6
Auto ISO - 200 - 500 (max 800) depends on lens aperture

for me i off all NR and NF. So far so good eventhough shoot in ISO 2000
din reli touch other setting..i off the warm filter as well since sometime it is reli annoying to c pics turn out quite yellowish warm

where to off warm filter ?

Just shoot raw... Won't have wb issue...
can be post process after that...

Hi, I've jz got an used EP1. May I know where can I buy the USB Connector? my set didnt come with it.. thanks

which lens shall i go..

panasonic 20mm F1.7
Olympus 45mm F1.8

usage > street, portrait, landscape, travelling, walkaround,

20mm

45mm will be too tight as walkaround lens...

both are nice lens. if you like wider go 20mm or else 45mm..plus 20mm is nice for group shot as well

ya 45mm is too tight for walkaround but is good for portrait

that,s y i dilemma in choosing, both r good lens with fast aperture which will deliver creamy bokeh,

my point is hopefully 1 lens can do all stuff like portrait, walkaround, street etc.

I have close to person face if i use 20mm and shot in portrait. But good for street. Walkaround

if i using 45mm lens then i might face problem when shooting landscape all those wide view.

Quite dilemma now. Both lens price quite affordable.

Hi all,

how bout the 25mm/F1.4 lens? is it good to cover potrait, street photo and scenery shoot? thanks

25mm = 50mm(35mm Equ)@ f1.4 is good for alot of type photography if not required zoom. If you expecting to take alot movement picture, hell yeah it very good and the price also very good!
