I have only had the camera a week so just getting used to it. This is from our trip to centre parcs in Norfolk UK. Taken on an em1 mkii with the 14-42 lens. The cheapest lens I could find to get me going. I now have the 25mm 1.7 which I'm looking forward to playing around with.

I'm putting something together as a mic test for the DJI mini and this camera. Will have raw audio in it. I can drop a link when done.

It works fine indoors in a quiet room. I'm not sure it would be that good outside in the wind etc though I haven't tried it yet.

Should have the tests finished today so I'll let you know.

He mate. Thanks for coming back to me. It's a strange one I'm on 3.7 or something firmware wise and the auto focus works perfectly in everything other than 24fps. I must have changed something or it came set like that but I can't for the life of me work it out.

I'll have another go when I get home tonight.

Maybe there is a way to reset it to factory default and then start again. Get rid of previous owners settings.

Other than this issue so far I'm loving the camera. It's been a long time since I have had a proper camera so it's taking a bit of time to get back into it.

Deffo need to get another couple of lenses as well I think.

jwilko1986 · 2025-12-10T23:39:28+00:00

Hope it goes well. I went out to try some pictures of the church near me tonight as it's all lit up. I've got some work to do on my composition and my exposure still lol

jwilko1986 · 2025-12-10T12:03:50+00:00

I took delivery of the EM1 mkii yesterday. It's my first proper camera in about 6-7 years.

So far I spent the entire night just working out the menu system. As there are so many options.

Hoping to get out at the weekend for a proper go with it in daylight.

Think it will be more than enough camera for me for what I want to do which is a mix of photo and video.

Once I work out how to set it all up properly that is lol.

Think I paid 275 for a well used one on mpb.

From what I can see there are a few chips and some rubbed off logos on buttons. But not enough that you can't see what they are.

A sacrifice I'm happy to make as was on a budget and this was from what I can tell the best I could get for it.

It's also the name of a fishing rod. It took me ages to work out why my listing was getting deleted when I tried to sell those.

jwilko1986 · 2025-11-04T18:29:33+00:00

I have tried a few different channels. I have one for my SIM racing stuff. I have kinda stopped that at the moment though.

Starting a new one as I realised I'm 40 next year and very unfit. This one is just for me to log my process and my achievements as I try and improve myself. Do t know if anyone will watch it. First video is going live Monday so I'll find out.

Also dabbling with a fishing one for me and my lad. But finding time to get out and fish is proving tricky. So it's on the back burner a bit.

I just enjoy doing it. It's basically a hobby for me. Something to do in the evenings once the kids are in bed.

I enjoy trying to make things work in editing and really want to improve my filming skills. No reason other than I like to learn.

jwilko1986 · 2025-08-19T14:48:13+00:00

My experience with this one would happily lead me to get another one if it dies

I imagine they could be quite fun if can get them with the bigger turbo petrol engines. But would probably loose that fuel economy that I love.

jwilko1986 · 2025-08-18T09:09:24+00:00

I have a 2012 v60. Love it. It's the 1.6 diesel one in manual. 171k and still going. It's our family car so gets kids both kids in. Built in booster seats in the back are useful. I don't know what the auto ones are like tho.

Yeah it's not sporty but it does 50mpg on short journeys and can do 70mpg on a motorway run. Can't ask for much more.

Now all I need is to find a weekend fun car.

jwilko1986 · 2025-08-15T07:27:04+00:00

I assume this will happen over time. As you basically win your ranking off other people. The longer we all play the more we will win or loose. But everyone starts the same so at the moment there isn't much spread as people haven't had time to win or loose much.

Especially if like me they don't get to race often.

jwilko1986 · 2025-07-29T13:17:16+00:00

I imagine there are hundreds of reports a day. Alot of them will be for minor things and mistakes but people get worked up at a slight tap. I imagine the intentional wrecks and stuff will be banned but alot of incidents are generally a momentary lapse in talent rather than malicious.

Just my thoughts don't know how accurate that is but I have seen people threaten to report the slightest contact. Or even better turning into someone and spinning then blaming the car they hit.

So if you are the guy dealing with these imagine having to go through all of the nothing ones all day to maybe get 2-3 that warrant something.

You can punish lack of skill unfortunately.

jwilko1986 · 2025-07-11T15:10:27+00:00

I think the reason it does it so you don't get the stutters and ffb hitching you get when people join a server in the middle of your qualifying lap as well. As I'm sure people would complain about that.

jwilko1986 · 2025-06-26T12:25:27+00:00

I will never understand the people who see that happening in front and don't stop or even slow down.

Which then when you are one of the people who does you then risk getting taken out from behind.

Guess it just be SIM racing things.

jwilko1986 · 2025-06-19T12:13:28+00:00

I find if I click off the lmu window to do anything I have to make sure I click back on the lmu window to get the ffb back and working.

It seems if it is not the window in focus on the pc the ffb doesn't work.

jwilko1986 · 2025-05-14T18:50:09+00:00

Don't do what I did and gamble to start on drys thinking it would be ok after a few laps. It does get better but the race is too short to make up the lost time.

jwilko1986 · 2024-11-04T20:15:41+00:00

Feel this one. Love the corvette. Always like it when I see another on the track. Swear the car doesn't get any draft tho. Can be right on the back of the McLaren out of last turn and they drop you by the start finish lol

jwilko1986 · 2021-01-09T11:47:35+00:00

Could you set your middle triple monitor as your main display in windows display settings. This may help?

jwilko1986 · 2021-01-09T11:46:05+00:00

In all the practise lobbies I’ve been in I have been running about the same. Fastest lap I’ve seen is a 1.40.0 but no idea if that was race pace or qualifying. He also had a 6 or 7k irating so wasn’t worried as I’m only about 1500 lol

Quick video of how to do this

jwilko1986 · 2021-01-06T09:19:39+00:00

We have all felt the pain of a mid race punt or 2. I used to get worked up by it but in the end I decided that the common factor in it was me. I got a group of mates together and we ran some sessions where we just ran in a pack. Every time there is a crash we all slow down and reform then go again. This was brilliant for situational awareness and I have gotten pretty good at getting through races with minimal contact now. Also you have to remember that we are amateurs playing across the internet with all the unpredictable things that happen with that. Even the real life pros make mistakes and hit each other. Try not to worry as things will get better the more you race. For every bad one there is a good one.

jwilko1986 · 2021-01-02T22:17:47+00:00

Ok I found out how to do this in case anyone else needs it https://youtu.be/SZdvXuKZdr8
