The Micro Four Thirds Feature I Never Understood... Until Now

Have you ever wondered how OM System Live Composite Mode (Live Comp) really works for long exposure photography? In this video, I head down to Mapleton Beach with the OM System OM-1 Mark II to put Live Comp through a real-world test and answer a question that's been bothering me for ages: Can Live Composite create smooth, natural-looking clouds in long exposure landscapes? Using a series of experiments with different exposure times, ND filters, and compositions, I compare 0.5-second, 1.3-second, and 60-second Live Comp exposures to see how cloud movement is rendered and whether longer exposures produce better results. Along the way, you'll learn: ✅ What Live Composite Mode actually does ✅ How Live Comp differs from traditional long exposures ✅ Why cloud movement can look strange in Live Comp ✅ The best shutter speeds for smoother cloud effects ✅ How to set up Live Composite on the OM-1 Mark II ✅ The benefits of Live Comp for landscape photography ✅ Using ND filters with OM System cameras ✅ Noise reduction and image quality advantages of stacking exposures If you're an OM System, Olympus, or Micro Four Thirds photographer looking to get better results from Live Comp, this practical field test may save you a lot of trial and error. 📷 Camera: OM System OM-1 Mark II 🌊 Location: Mapleton Beach 🎞️ Photography Style: Long Exposure Landscape Photography Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:05 What Is Live Composite Mode? 02:27 Setting Up Live Comp 03:13 First Test – 1.3 Second Exposures 05:22 Second Test – 0.5 Second Exposures 07:37 Comparing Results 08:16 Going for 60-Second Exposures 10:46 Live Comp in Action 12:00 Results & Analysis 13:41 Final Thoughts #OMSystem #OM1MarkII #LiveComp #LongExposurePhotography #MicroFourThirds #LandscapePhotography #OMSystemCamera #OlympusPhotography #NDFilters #PhotographyTutorial #LongExposure #PhotographyTips #M43 #CameraSettings #SeascapePhotography ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • OM System Cameras & Lenses https://clk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=... • Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/chrispikz • My Camera Gear: https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/chrisba... •Follow Me On Instagram:   / chrispikz   • Buy My PRINTS here: https://chris-baitson-shop.fourthwall... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe for a NEW CAMERA 🤭:    / @chrisbaitsonphoto   or Subscribe to SHOW ME THE LOVE 😍:    / @chrisbaitsonphoto
