Well, after 2 hrs charging I've got 97% charge and the camera is working.I'm hoping it will still be quicker than waiting for MPB to sorting out getting the correct charger etc to me.
It's now plugged in and red light is showing
Ah I missed this. I don't suppose it was recorded?
So glad to read this and sorry I hadn't spotted your issue earlier. I sold my EM1ii and the guy I sold it to accidentally customised it so that the lever became the power switch - it had us foxed and I offered him his money back ... and then he touched the lever and it sprang into action.
Thanks, this was obviously the post I remember, as I was flicking the lever between the two settings, but as you have read, it was in fact much simpler
DATE WITH A DUCHESS .... by Robin Procter, on FlickrFantastic shot well done. And a beautiful head of steam too.No snow in my neck of the woods and fortunately roads not icy when I travelled north to this new spot last Saturday. The railway line in this stretch runs due North and so the position of the sun is critical. Fortunately the 'Duchess', travelling north, was running about 40 minutes late and so the sunlight direction was okay.
I use an iPhone app called LumosPro (less than £4) which is very simple and easy to see sun position without having to do calculations like some other apps.
Image now chosen on Flickr Explore, which of course pleases me.
Sometimes a camera preview can look great and then disappoint when uploaded and viewed large at home but this one was the other way around - I had driven home feeling a bit disappointed.
This has now been chosen as “explore” on Flickr by some strange algorithm
.... I rather like it. I find it crisp and not "miserable" looking as you describe it.
Thanks. The day was miserable, but I don’t tire of this view, despite seeing it almost every day. You can almost see our house - hidden by the trees.
Not surprised, given the quality of your landscapes
.... Cheers James! The cold winter air tends to help the steam exhaust appearance.

It's not all landscape photos and it can be surprising what gets on. My explore album is here.
Unfortunately Roger doesn't allow his talks to be recorded. I'm sorry.

Perfect timing
Thats what I thought its about double the price to get a 100-400. If I go for the 75-300, I might even have some left for a prime as well
Good point, I’ve no experience of that lens but I asked on here myself for recommendations between the two lenses and some of the images being shown with the Olympus were excellent.
if you can find one at the right price a four thirds 50-200 F2.8 plus mmf-2 adaptor would be more than adequate . they can be found at the right price if your lucky and under the price of a 75-300 plus they will also take a EC-14 tc giving more reach;;;; worth looking as these still are classed as a pro lens
I can't speak to the Olympus but I do have the Panasonic 100-400 on my E-M1X and I'm really happy with it. I got mine from MPB for a good price so it's definitely worth looking on their site.
E-M1X has the train recognition, not sure about planes and vehicles though.
I don’t know to be honest. My issue is I’m currently using an Olympus om 10 mk3 and the focus isn’t brilliant for me.
That’s great to know your using the same camera, I’ve seen lots of your photos on here and they are fantastic.
I’ve not used an EM10iii, but I think it’s highly likely that an EM1ii or EM1iii would be a big step up in terms of its ability to focus with fast moving objects.
Not any more .. but I had thev 10-mkii . Now just down to 1-mkiii … E 620 … and EP5 plus lots of lenses that rarely get used
