my googling found a few threads with the same issue. The solution appears to be to enable cookies. eg: View: https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/15tgopz/trouble_with_thunderbird_with_gmail_accounts/ or https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1421490 That said, I use thunderbird...

I had assumed that my printer only used dithering to get greyscales (when set to "greyscale printing" in the driver). This was re-inforced by the fact the driver has a manual colour balance option in colour mode but only allows brightness and contrast is greyscale mode. So no way of adjusting...

If you think about the white issue, it is the same with a colour printer. ie none of the CMY colours combine to make white, only black ;) White is the absence of ink on nearly all printers I think. From what I understand (and I am also far from an expert) printers having grey inks is just so...

Don't the cheaper Canon printers allow use of black ink only? I think my ip3600 has both a pigmented and dye black ink and has a "grayscale" option in the driver. I have not tried it for b&w photos though.

Thanks Paul. I think more luck than good judgement though. :ROFLMAO:

Thanks, I will take a look at affinity.

Well, I have just spent a couple of hours trying different stacking options and have come to the same conclusion you did. I get better images from a single shot. The jpeg from the high res mode is also worse than the normal shot. Mostly because it causes colour artifacts that become obvious...

Interesting. I think conditions last night were not bad. It looked pretty clear and the moon was fairly high overhead. I did try a couple of high res shots (also available on my EM1mk2) but it didn't appear to give me much. Plus it appeared to only give jpgs, I much prefer raw files to play...

According to flickr I haven't pointed my camera at the moon in 10 years. So last night I thought I would give it a go. To be honest, the results surprised me. Not least because it is the first time I have seen any sort of colour in the moon. Which leads me to a question: This is from a single...

Yes to all that. There are plenty on youtube using the em1mk2+60mm+V350o flash to very good effect. eg https://www.youtube.com/@JamieSpensley

Yes. I cannot be sure about every camera system but, based on how it all works, I believe that is correct.

To be clear, you can manually focus bracket with any lens. However you cannot use the in camera bracketting (or stacking) unless it is an auto focus lens. On the olympus I had a feeling in camera stacking requires specific lenses as well although I could be wrong about that.

btw. If you want to see what can be done with a very basic camera setup then have a look at Thomas Shahan's flikr page https://www.flickr.com/photos/opoterser/ and the video he did.... View: https://youtu.be/qmMcCjEU68Y?si=XNO8rGy5yhG8KIha

I would count myself as a beginner to macro work. However I would say learning to do basic macro stuff (ie single shot, not stacked) is the same regardless of camera. I am not sure I see how the Oly setup would really make it easier. Yes, you will get more depth of field but initially you want...

fwiw, I have a em1mk2. Coming from older nikons I do find the menu system a bit of a pain. Not complicated but there are so many settings it takes a while to remember where everything is. I would say it is worth persevering though as, once you have it set up how you want you are unlikely to need...
