Once you get in the habit of doing regular backups and use a backup tool, even a simple one like Microsoft SyncToy (which I use) that reminds you at whatever predetermined date/time you want to ...

Slightly OT, on a different type of backup. My PC power supply has been acting up recently (that's what I determined) and today the PC wouldn't start under any circumstances. So I invoked my backup ...

It would be cheaper to  just but a fireproof safe and store your portable drive/s in one of those.

I concur with that. There have been examples of cloud storage services not delivering what they promised. For example, MegaUpload left a lot of people in the lurch. And I was reading about ...

Indeed, you start with a clean slate, but with a world of experience.

I'm like you, I ditched optical media long ago after bitter experience of non-recoverable data loss.  There was a lot of discussion about optical media a decade or so ago and it was recognised ...

You have to admit that the customisation is amazing, though sometimes I do wonder why some options were seemingly hobbled/limited. If there's one control that I've never come to grips with it's ...

I tried that, but it doesn't seem as flexible as the option I'm using now. I just wish I could swap the controls around so that Fn1 activated flash EC and the front dial remained as the EC control.

I like EC on the front dial and aperture on the rear, as these are my most used adjustments. But looking at the button dial menus, I discovered that I can assign the one of the buttons (Fn1 in this ...

Yes, exposure compensation is available, but I've found that it doesn't alter anything in the final results. Not for stuff I've shot anyway. I don't know why Ps isn't available with the flash ...

Here is the latest Olympus financial report: http://www.olympus-global.com/en/common/pdf/brief148PA_5.pdf .

Yes, there's no exposure compensation when using the flash in TTL mode. I pretty much always use centre weighted metering. I haven't used RC for your situations with the E-M1 and FL-50s, so I can't ...

My cloud storage solution: 2TB+ cost stuff all nowadays. You can store one off-site, take them with you if you go away for some time, always know that you own what they contain.

I tend not to use the histogram anymore, as I've become so used to the EVF and visual the changes it displays when adjusting EC. At worst, there's maybe a quarter stop difference between what I ...

But that is exactly what MySets does.

Olympus is in the black, the cameras have been very profitable in the last few years, especially with the introduction of the E-M1. Olympus doesn't have to introduce new and significantly improved ...

I certainly disagree with moiré. ;) How many people make full and proper use of 4K? By that I don't just mean happy snaps style of video where you just point the camera at little Johnny as he tears ...

I doubt that Olympus would be going backwards, as not having the filter hasn't drawn any crabs. The only reason for introducing such would be if they were suddenly to use some form of sensor that ...
