I haven’t used my E-M1 in about 8 months, so being I have to shoot some paid work starting next week when I return to Canada - I felt I should get used to the feel of it before I am under pressure to perform.
I have decided to try rear button focus for the first time. And that is quite a balancing act - not as quick and spontaneous as just pressing the shutter button. I wanted to see if it was worth the extra effort, and also get used to figuring out by feel where on the camera back the button is.
I did find that awkward and think I will use that camera every day this week so finding the button and using it along with the front shutter button, will become more natural. I was very pleased with the results though and hope it is a good focusing solution with my portrait work.
Here are a few of the practice shots from tonight - all in lower light just before dawn. I had the 40-150 kit lens mounted on my E-M1.
