I use the
Olympus Workspace app to update the Olympus software on my Mac computers and the firmware on my Olympus cameras. This app also can be used to reveal actual shooting parameters from images taken years ago. Here is such an example from
October 2017.
Olympus E-M1MarkII + Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 300mm 1:2.8 @ 300 mm (600 mm in 35mm), f/4, 1/2000 s, ISO 640, Copyright Karl-Heinz A Winkler,
Date Taken 2017-10-31 12:32:14.
Using the
Olympus Workspace app one can extract detailed shooting information like this:
Model Name:E-M1MarkII

Here I was particularly interested which
AFMA values I had used.
Did I use
S-AF or
C-AF?
Did I use the
Silent or the
Mechanical shutter?
And finally did I use
Sequential shooting?
This type of information is needed to judge whether the
intended AFMA parameters were applied or not.
Back in
April 2017, you
Bart and I, had carefully examined our Olympus FT lenses with regards to AFMA adjustments needed.

I arrived at the following adjustments for my
E-M1.2, quote:
"
• HG . 50-200/2.8-3.5 SWD:
AFMA = -2
• SHG 90-250/2.8: @250m .
AFMA = -3 z(oom) tuna
• SHG 150/2.0: .................
AFMA = -2 little tuna
• SHG 300/2.8: .................
AFMA = -3 big tuna
"
Since then the
E-M1.2 had
12 firmware updates, quite a few of them improving AF. It shows.
Lately for
little tuna I measured the AFMA values needed when used on my
E-M1.2 or
E-M1.3.
I now find no adjustment is needed! :shocked: :thumbup: :grin:
• SHG 150/2.0: .................
AFMA = 0 little tuna in
August 2020! :clap:
I still have to work on the other FT lenses. :banghead:
BTW, Ric at

noticed similar improvements with his
E-M1.3. :thumbs: :salute:
