±1±: Best Buy Application: Studio still life photography.
Setup: E-620 body, Olympus OM adapter, Zuiko OM 50mm/3.5 macro lens + Olympus polarizer.
Settings: 200 ISO for maximum dynamic range. Square aspect ratio for artistic reasons.
How to focus: Manual focus with live view and zoom with f3.5.
How to photograph: f11 to f22, 3 second anti-shock delay, Eye-piece cover, polarized studio flashes via hot-shoe adapter.

Overall impression: The live view image allows precise composition for my favorite square aspect ratio, and exact focus, using live-view zoom. For live-view in low light, like using the modeling lights in studio, the aperture has to be wide open at 3.5, and this also makes focus easier, since at 3.5 DOF is very narrow. For the actual picture the aperture can be set to the optimum sharpness around f11, or maximum DOF at f22, or to whatever DOF is required for artistic reasons. This refers to using the camera body with an OM adapter and an old OM lens.

MOS sensor quality: I looked for the typical MOS sensor banding noise, but could not see any at ISO 200, 1/160th second exposure time and studio flashes. The resulting image is sharp even at 100% 1:1 pixel magnification and shows, in Lightroom, a fine film like noise in medium light areas, and blocky noise in lowest light areas, which can be eliminated by shifting up the black-cut-off point in Lightroom or Photoshop.

Main points for me: Square aspect ratio in live view, and zoomed live view for manual focus, and compatibility with old OM lenses using the Olympus OM adapter. on Sale!
