From the E-M1 Mark II Instruction Manual:

"Pro capture is available only with OLYMPUS Micro Four Thirds lenses."

Pro capture enables the camera (for up to 1 minute) to keep up to the last 14 sequential images taken in the buffer while half-pressing the shutter button. Then when fully pressing the shutter button these up to the last 14 images and all subsequently taken images get stored on the memory card.

To me this seems to be a very useful feature when trying for example to catch a bird in flight that takes off from a location typically much faster than a human reaction time as in this way one gets to keep up to the last 14 sequential images taken before one could react and fully press the shutter button.

For me this feature alone was worth getting the E-M1.2.

It makes me wonder how I coped back in the days of Tri-x :grin:
No second chance with this :bugeyes: :

It was 30 years ago and so the EXIF details in my head are extremely sketchy :rolleyes:.

It was a still from a movie I was working on.

I used three Nikon bodies; two were on tripods to be fired using a twin cable release
and the third body was hand held.

I was to get a countdown on my radio from the assistant director, and shortly
before the truck was fired from an air cannon I planned to take one frame with the truck still on the jetty (in that way, before firing the motor drives) I could not miss the instant just before 'take off', and hence still have enough frames left (35) to capture the whole sequence.

However, for whatever reason the radio message was either never sent or received :shocked:
and all of a sudden, the first thing I knew was that the truck was in the air with no warning :scry:

Luckily I had the hand held body up to my eye at that moment and just reacted :angel:.

Theoretically ... :rolleyes:, it should be possible to capture the birds while hatching ... :ROTFL:
