I have the Epson PerfectionV700 Photo.
Not a cheap machine, but I did have the money at the time and have never regretted buying this one.

I did that. It doesn't name the software I'm looking for.
If I remember correctly, it was not actually Epson software, but provided by another company.
If I could just remember the name of it, I could buy it to use it again.

Since there's a conversation going on about scanning, would someone please refresh my memory?
When I bought the V700 Epson there was a CD with it with software that I installed, and used all the time, for different settings, different size photos, neg's etc.
Three years ago we moved. Recently my hard drive crashed and I lost a lot of what was on it. Most of it was backed up to an external drive, except for the CD's I had used to install the various programs.
Now I cannot find the CD for this software to go with the scanner and for the life of me I cannot remember the name of that program.
Can someone help me out, please? I would really like to buy this software to have it again.

Even with the negatives in sleeves now, you may find that they will not lay flat on the scanner. Even in the holder, I found they were not completely flat.
From a picture-framing shop I bought a piece of non-glare glass. I covered the edges with strong packing tape (the kind that looks like there are strings of thread woven into it), just so I wouldn't cut my fingers when using it. On the corners I let the tape stick out about an inch or so, to have tabs to easily pick up the glass from the scanner again.
So, the film goes on the scanner, then the piece of glass on the film and then close the lid.
BTW, I haven't used this for about 3 years or so now, but I seem to remember that there was a setting for scanning negatives directly on the scanner glass, or in the provided holder. There is of course a slight difference in distance between the negatives and the part of the scanner that records what is on the negative.

Do you have a scanner that has a setting for negatives?
I have scanned a lot of negatives (with Epson V700-Photo) and all of the negatives were converted to positives.
It is a few years ago since I did that, so I'm afraid I don't remember the exact steps.

You can use M4/3 lenses just the way they are, as the E-M5 is a M4/3 system.
You can also use 4/3 lenses with an adapter.

My first Olympus camera was an E-5. Heavy beast! At the time, I got 3 or 4 lenses for that camera.
Then switched to the OM-D E-M1 and a bit later also bought the OM-D E-M1. I did get a few lenses in M4/3 format, then bought an adapter and now can use the both 4/3 and M4/3 lenses with that camera!
I'm a happy camper.
Now wishing covid would pack its suitcase and go home so we can move freely again to get to the places where I like to take photos!

Hey! Aren't we all members of this forum to help each other out?
I don't ask questions very often, or am able to give answers very often, but I have learned a lot, just reading the posts.

Just last week, I sent a folder containgin files totalling almost 148mb, using "Weshare"
It was the first time I used this, but it went off without a hitch.
May be worth a try.

My husband and I each have a Lumix/Panasonic DMC-FH1. It has a wrist-strap (important for my arthritic hands),
it fits in my handbag or pants pocket, even in my husband's shirt pocket. We've had these for a few years now and are still amazed at the quality of photos you can take with it!
Having said all that, my "go-to" camera is still the Olympus OM-D E-M1 mk3 as it does fit my hands better and there is definitely "more I can do with it."

For text, Blurb has a tutorial on their website:
https://support.blurb.com/hc/en-us/categories/201450966-Tutorials

I have not yet read these tutorials, but will be doing so in the next week or so, the book I am planning right now will have a lot of text, illustrated with photos.

Blurb is my go-to book printer. I've had them do the book with the wedding photos of our granddaughter, a book with the photos taken at my sister-in-laws 80th birthday, and a few more along that line.
I was very happy with the finished products!
For my next book I have the text ready, have to go through my photos to find appropriate ones to go with the story - it is the story of my growing-up and early adult years, will have four printed, one for each of my boys.
With the birthday book I had no problem putting captions with the photos.
If a full page of text is a problem with Blurb, I will save that page as a photo and use it that way.
Now to make a long shopping list and send my husband shopping so I can work on the book in peace :-)

Probably can be listed as "stupid question" but I have had this "problem" myself once or twice:
Did you format the card in the camera you would like to use it in?

Might be a bit difficult, especially if the boarder has just finished eating and wants to just sit down.
However, if you were to try a border, you might have more luck...

(Sorry, just couldn't resist)

Are you referring to the one you responded to?
That's not a little square, it's more of an oblong shape (of a hand) with a thumb sticking up...
In other words: a "thumbs up".

There is a another rectangular one, green in colour, that annoys me to no end - if I see that in a post, I skip that post, because it's advertising.

The Instruction manual that comes with the camera does not give size of card, from this I have taken that any size can be used.
It does give types of card, see pages 26, 27, 284.
