Olympus E-M1MarkIII + OLYMPUS M.300mm F4.0 @ 300 mm (600 mm in 35mm), f/4.5, 1/3200 s, ISO 640.

The last time I shot this Olympus gear was in 2021.

My Olympus E-M1 Mark III works just fine.
However a battery has swollen and is stuck in my Olympus E-M1 Mark II.
How to get it out? Otherwise the camera seems to be in great shape.
Maybe glue some latch onto the battery so that one can pull it out.

Apparently I ignored for too long (2021) the groundbreaking capabilities of my OM-D E-M1 III.

heh. Still have my E-1 and E-M1, plus a passle of lenses and accessories for them. I took the batteries out of the bodies when I put them into the storage boxes. I should see if the batteries can be charged up ... I'm sure the bodies are still fine. Haven't touched them in a long time. Good equipment, always worked well! Complex to configure, particularly the E-M1.

Thank you Godfrey, I appreciate your kind feedback.

Now I could be wrong, but I sense something is wrong here ...

Thank you Bart, what do you mean?

Thank you Bart, what do you mean?

I think it's going too quickly for me. Is it an insect ? Is a bird ? Is it an airplane ?

Thank you Bart. Sorry about that. I should slow down the action.
Well, it's a Bee, a Yellowjacket, or other kind of Wasp.
All the song birds are afraid of them.
Especially the Hummingbirds stay away from them.
Yellowjackets are known to have killed Hummingbnirds.
