Mark D. Young report about the stabiliser issue on the “upgraded” E-M1 II

Share

Mark:

Having updated one of our studios E-M1 ii bodies we were testing the “improved image stabiliser in video” and saw a marked deterioration in stability. This held true in all modes. We checked against the non-updated units (The second M1.2, the M1X and the M1.3) and the difference is stark. Fiddling with the yaw axis “stickiness” (which is what I gather was done to “improve” panning) seems to have made the whole thing more skittish and when walking at a slow pace the whole thing wobbles about. For video users this is not an “improvement” at all! And now there is no way to “undo” the downgrade on that one body. Holding off on updating the X and mark iii bodies until this is remedied. If you do a lot of video and rely on the stabiliser, be cautious.
