James:I received my preordered Olympus EM1 II camera yesterday. I am not a happy camper. Because this camera is so fast, I ordered a 128-GB Lexar Professional SDXC II 300 MB/s card for this camera. This card refused to format in the Olympus.
The slower 256–GB Lexar Professional 150 MB/s SDXC II card formatted. However, when I took a long movie as a test, the camera froze up, and this card was totally trashed. It is not recognized by either the camera, Windows, or MacOS. Hopefully, Lexar will replace it. I could not even turn the camera off. I had to pull the battery.
Then, I was assured by Olympus via an e-mail (that alas I cannot find) that it could take movies longer than 29 minutes by seamlessly opening a new file when the 4 GB limit is reached. If this mode exists for 4k movies, I cannot find it. Every movie mode I try shows 20 minutes remaining at the start. I take symphony videos, and this makes the camera useless.
