http://www.wilderness-safaris.comwas fantastic for stills, but this video
performance blew me away. The lions
didn’t stay sleepy for long. A buffalo had
wandered nearby for a drink. Charles drove
us to a better vantage point. Hot-swapping
between the two bodies and their 40-150mm
and 300mm lenses, I was able to shoot the
lions as they flanked the buffalo – though
the full bellies were their downfall, as
the buffalo was able to fend off their
half-hearted offence.
Some of the E-M1 pair’s other tricks came
in handy elsewhere on the trip, namely Pro
Capture – a feature that starts buffering
frames as soon as you half-press the shutter.
By recording the last 15 frames before you
fire the shutter and the 20 frames afterwards,
you never miss that decisive moment- perfect for capturing birds in flight,
cubs wrestling, or a cloud of dust
on a sandbathing elephant. - Special thanks to Olympus for its help
with this feature. Discover more about the
Olympus OM-D E-M1X and E-M1 Mark II
