What they both claim is that many photographers, when they want to capture a really fast action shot, by the time you fully push the shutter, you missed the shot.
Olympus and Fuji claim they solved this issue with pro capture and pre-shot, but does it really work, and how exactly does it work?
I have used Canon, Sony and Nikon and they have nothing like this, does it make a big difference and should the big three adapt this? And could it be done by a firmware update?
How about you boys that own these camera's, lets hear from you on the inter workings of this.

Three times should be enough so I wont explain it it again, but I can easily reply that yes, the "big 3" ( and others) should all adopt this.

Once youve read the explanations of it, it should be very clear that implementation is less challenging at lower pixel counts where burst rates can be 30 to 60fps.

Great for those with slow reflexes!

It can deliver lightning pix. No one has literally "lightning fast" reflexes, not to mention normal hardware lag.

Presently an easy "just do it" feature, once it becomes wide spread that will change. Hogsters will find endless ways to mess it up, and our UHH Experts will eagerly muddy the waters with all their "advice". However, for now its simply point and shoot.

On the OM-1 you can use pro capture at up to 50 fps with auto focus and 120 without auto focus between each shot and still use RAW.

Im using it in my research into alien crow sky calligraphy.

Aliens control thousands of crows and use them to write messages across the sky as seen just below:

Excellent answers you have got so far for your question. None of my cameras have the Pro Capture feature but from what I know it is a most useful feature for the wildlife photographer, perhaps useful also for other types of photography.
With Olympus if the shutter button is partially held down the electronic shutter of the camera takes a series of pictures which are recorded when the button is fully pressed down. Nature photographer Joe MacDonald has recently switched to Olympus cameras and he has been using very successfully Pro Capture. It makes a great difference on capturing the image of lets say a bird ready to fly.

In my humble opinion it is a great feature and very useful for the wildlife photographer.

The Olympus pro capture feature works very well and is fully-adjustable to accommodate your specific needs.

Nikon calls it Pre-Release Burst, a feature of the Z9. Unfortunately, they only capture JPG images; an unreasonable limitation. Why they did a toy implementation is beyond me. I shoot RAW, and don't ever use a JPG only feature. Maybe one day they will figure it out.

Panasonic calls it Pre-Burst, only available on the G9 (on GH5 and others, it is 4K Pre-Burst and it is still frames selected from a 4K video segment). They didn't add it to the GH6, and since it seems unlikely that there will be a G9 ii, it looks like a dead feature.

Olympus has nice videos on various subjects. Here is one for pro capture.

I am sure there are others on YouTube as well.

So Pro Capture can do your job as a photographer? It takes the picture for you.

Every camera takes the picture for you.

No, it seen when and what. I believe the todays camera does everything except view the picture and decide when and what the picture should be and then you squeeze the trigger. It seems to me that you point the camera and the camera decides to take the picture for you. I may be incorrect but that is what this camera setting is.
Sorry if I misunderstood.
