Pen F, Oly 17 F1.8, Pop Art filter II
I haven't touched Art filters for a while haha. nice shot
Different usage habits lol.
I feel the Pen F seems to be geared towards making Art / Monochrome filters much more accessible to the users now with the inclusion on the front control knob.

Pre-Schooler in SG.
Here in Singapore, children can start 'school' as early as 18 months old under the childcare scheme.
Above this, the premium placed on education means there's a mandated by law minimum 10 years of education for everyone.
‪PenF , Monochrome II Filter, No Grain. ‬
Notes: For this shot, all i did was to turn the front control knob to Monochrome setting and shoot. Users who wish for more controls can even choose Monochrome I (digital) , Monochrome II (Film), or Monochrome II (UV)and the amount of Grains to add within the SuperControlPanel (SCP)

Hi everyone, I just realized the Pen F raw files are not supported by Lightroom. I tried converting it into tiff file in Olympus viewer 3, import the tiff files into Lightroom. Not the best workflow and file sizes for each tiff is astronomical at 60mb. Feeling really disappointed.
I noticed whenever new cameras are launched, photo editing softwares will usually need to follow up with upgrades/updates to support them.
As of last week, I think Pen-F's RAW wasn't even suppported the native iPhoto software, yet. Had to install the Olympus Viewer 3, which seems to be the only converter available at the moment.
Let's wish for early updates/upgrades to our fav photo editing softwares
Thanks !
The sheer amount of customization options for the monochrome shots is enough for one to play around for a while lol.
Imagine:
Monochrome I
Monochrome II
Monochrome III
Each having Red , Orange etc filter
Each allowing u to adjust highlights , shadows
Each allowing u to adjust amount of Grain
And so on.
It's a little irritating but the grip works nicely when I am using heavier lenses.

Pen F, Oly 17/1.8.
The size of the Pen F goes a long way into making it a compact everyday companion. The touchscreen shooting and focusing has become ubiquitous of the MFT system too, allowing one to do a snap unobtrusively.

Was using the hi res mode this evening. Noticed some moire-like artefacts on moving objects. Looks like Olympus is not quite there yet.
This is the original photograph.

The artefacts are clearer if you click on the screen shots and magnify it in Flickr.

On closer look on my night shots has these as well, and mainly on night shots. I'll send these shots to Oly SG to have a look too. I suspect that as pixel shift moves the sensor during Hi res mode, those motion blurred areas (due to people or moving objects) somehow got composited into 1 and causes this artefact. On the still objects, it's alright though.

Has anyone tried the 12-40 F2.8 with the Pen-F? Seems like a good walkabout...the 7-14 looks tempting too but might be a tad large/heavy and wide as a walkabout. Thoughts?
(thanks in advance!)

I am using both 7014mm and 12-40mm on the Pen F. These lenses are not heavy to me but paired up with the Pen F, the setup will be front heavy. I got the optional handgrip and the camera handles fine with the 12-40mm. The 7-14mm is still a tad unbalanced though.
