Images before the click
Oct 21, 2019 20:07:44 #
A couple days ago I was bouncing around from "the newest photos" and found myself in the middle of a thread that had already gone on for a couple pages. The text with the image which brought me there included some description of the camera that had taken the image. (Sorry this s a long way around the Bush)
Th poster said his camera , a high mp like 61pm(?) Said his camera was able to capture something north of 50fps. And that when he fires off a burst in continuous mode it actually records 20 or 22 images that would have obscured prior to the shutter release being tripped.
I have been scrolling back hoping to relocate that post to ask what camera the poster has. He didn't say.
Anyone have a clue? Can I buy a vowel? Or were the mushrooms on that pizza really special.

You don't need to buy a vowel. But I wouldn't mind mushrooms, peppers and onions on my pizza. But they have to be chopped very very small.
I am shooting with Canon. I have heard that the Sony a7R is blazing 61mp. Fugi just came out with a GFX of 100mp. Both of these are Mirrorless.
I'm not much of a professional and I'm slightly more than a hobbyist. But when it comes to mega pixels I'm not that impressed. I feel comfortable with a camera that allows me to dial up or down on the Shutter, f/stop and ISO.
If you are a pixel peeper then look at the Hasselblad H6D. Sure it's expensive but the quality can't be beat. That is what you should expect with a medium format.

You are prob. referring to the Pro Capture mode on the new Olympus OM-D mark2. In Pro Capture Mode which you set by the dial, the camera buffers a series of full res. 20 mp images until you fully depress shutter button. your image plus 14 previous images in jpeg/raw will be recorded. I believe there is a way to capture 60 fpm also... I don't have the feature on my M1 so I have no direct experience. Sounds pretty wild though. Oly is pretty innovative in areas like this. The M1x has some pretty innovative features also which incorporate a little AI in focusing...Hope this leads you in the right direction. Bob

Thanks. That sound about like what I read. My daughter's iPhone does something like that but not quite so extreme .

I think some cell phones do that also, seen the commercials, where you go back to pick the one with the right expression or whatever. I'll be really impressed when they cache the future images. He's baaaack!
No I don't know the answer to your question.

Just checked. Bob is correct. It is the pro mode on the Oly imp something or other mark something. There flagship mirrorless

It’s is not new. It is new to interchangeable lens cameras. I have an old Nikon P100, super zoom, circa 2010. It had a burst mode where it would capture up to 30 or so frames 15 before and 15 after the shutter click. That and combined with the long zoom range, It was fantastic for sports action shots. I got some good motorcycle racing action pics, and baseball pics, with that camera. The downside of using that method is it really creates a lot of images. Use gingerly. After taking a mere few snaps that way, there could be over 100 very similar images to go through. The other down side was it had a small sensor. But no DSLR I have owned since has come close to that kind of performance.

I prefer WDCash's mushrooms, hold the pizza.
If you've got $52,000 you can get a Phase One IQ4 150mp camera. It makes the Hassy look like a crop sensor camera.
When I do panoramas, they are typically 150mp or greater. I use a D800 or a D810.
And my little Sony RX10m4 can do 24 fps, and burst for about 3 seconds for 72 raw images or 10 secs for 249 jpegs. It will also shoot up to 960fps in super slow motion.
So none of this is very impressive.

This is the Olympus Pro Capture mode, available on the Olympus OMD E-M1 mark II and E-M1x. There are Low and High Pro Capture Modes, and for each of those you can set the frame rate, number of frames buffered, and total number of frames captured with full shutter press.
I have used this mode to capture the moment a butterfly opens its wings, the moment an eagle takes flight, and the catch of a football.
Some Panasonic cameras have what's called 4k Photo mode, where you shoot a 4k video and then select the still photos you want in camera. Similar, but lower resolution.
These modes are possible because the cameras are using electronic shutter, EVFs, etc.
The advantage to these modes is that you only capture images or save images that catch the action you want. The old way was basically "spray and pray"...shoot a lot and hope you caught something.

Both the Olympus E-M1mkII and E-M1X will shoot 35 RAW shots of 20mp before the pressing of the shutter followed by 60 RAW shots per second after the pressing of the shutter. The process is called Pro Capture by Olympus. It allows a pro to "miss" capturing the actual peak moment and yet still have captured the moment in the pre-capture. And now Olympus has added a third camera to the Pro Capture but not quite as powerful. The brand new E-M5mkIII has a Pro Capture I believe of 16 RAW shot at 20mp but I believe a slower capture rate than the 60fps after that (a poor man's E-M1mkII). Other than Olympus, I know of no other manufacturer that offers a Pro Capture yet. Pro Capture imaging can only be done with a mirrorless camera.

And the way it operates is it fills a buffer with the 35 RAW shots when you press the shutter button half way down. Every shot after the first 35 kicks out the oldest of the 35 shots and stores the new one continuously - until you fully press the shutter button at "peak action". Once the shutter is pressed, the buffer dumps all 35 RAW pre-action images to memory and sends any shots after that directly through the buffer to memory.

Sorta odd, me thinks, that these are a 4/3 sensor. Funny how different manufacturers choose what they think all set them apart

He might have been reading about the Pro Capture mode on Olympus’s newest cameras: em1X, em 1 II, or the newest e-m5 III. The camera starts imaging at the half click. Up to 60 FPS at 20mp resolution in raw or jpeg. The feature will only do this with their Pro line of lenses. BTW, it’s this feature the led me to pre-ordering the new e-m5 Mark III!
