Olympus EE-1 Dot Sight for Cameras with Hot Shoe,Black

Product Information

The flash shoe must have a 1/4-20 screw socket at the bottom, which simplifies attaching it to the clamp with a 1/4-20 bolt, and should be a "low-profile" shoe (lower than the one shown in the figure) to keep the dot-sight as close as possible to the lens axis. Si chiude semplicemente spingendo in giù, il movimento di apertura e chiusura accende e spegne il mirino.

Infine aggiungo che il costo non è esagerato considerando che l'unica alternativa mi pare sia solo il Nikon che costa il doppio. I sometimes use an extender to get the EE-1 in front of the camera; because I wear hats and the EE-1 gets in the way when trying to use the EVF.If you are in a hurry, you can begin a session by mounting the sight on the camera and trusting that the alignment used in the previous session is still good enough.

it is easy to locate and follow the bird because you see the bird with the light target on it as you would see it through a normal 50mm lens (normal vision). When panning quickly the red reticle can appear slightly decentralized as if it has some sort of delay. This is also important because you can observe how the birds behave in the air, how they change direction and where they go. The Dot Sight offers a centre aiming dot with adjustable brightness and position to allow fast subject acquisition and tracking.Get some extra help when aiming at faraway or fast-moving subjects with the Olympus EE-1 Dot Sight for OM-D E-M5 Mark II or Stylus 1 Camera. Most red dot sights cannot even be zeroed/aligned at very short distances because they don't have the adjustment range. If you choose Release priority over Focus, you will take more shots but you won’t have any clue at all about how the camera is focusing since your eye won’t be on the LCD screen most of the time. TLDR: Olympus EE-1 dot sight works wonderfully on the OM-1 in conjunction with subject recognition and is much more user friendly than an adapted firearm sight that does essentially the same thing.

Put the camera on a tripod, select the smallest focussing point you can and then focus on a subject at least 50 metres away. Instead I permanently mounted a Picatinny rail on the tripod collar and use an actual dot gun sight that slides into place and is tightened into the same repeatable alignment in seconds. You lose so much field of view in your peripheral vision that finding and tracking subjects quickly becomes a real problem.With two setting buttons, I made sure that the center of my viewfinder exactly aligned with the position of the red dot. Photographing a bird in flight with loads of space around it is manageable, but as soon as the bird gets close enough to nearly fill the frame, it really gets difficult—for the camera, the lens and the photographer.

This makes it more likely that the camera will focus onto the head (and hopefully, the eye) rather than the tail or the tip of a wing. I started using it when I realised that if I was out and about, and I knocked the dials, unless I could calibrate out there, my kit was useless. Method - use pin-point auto focus - track the subject with the red dot and rely on the GX9* (wash my mouth out ) AF to get it right. Per funzionare funziona, si riesce a velocizzare il puntamento di piccoli soggetti in movimento con un teleobiettivo. The only thing I didn't like about it was the need to calibrate it with the viewfinder when starting out on a photo session, I needed a tripod to do this even though I didn't need a tripod for the actual session.

New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . This adjustment never changes because the rail is solidly mounted and the dot sight fastens into the exact same position every time, an advantage of all-metal construction. It is important that you remain in the same position while performing the whole operation so that your view of the LCD screen and Red Dot Sight doesn’t change much. Use the up and down adjustment wheels on the dot sight to move the subject into the middle of the reticule. Overall I found the Olympus EE-1 to be an interesting accessory especially for those like me who have little experience with bird photography.
