The new Olympus magazine issue has been released.

GetOlympus (Click here) published a guide on how to capture brillant fireworks photos.

Here’s a rundown of common adjustmentsmade in the Fireworks Scene Mode:
Shutter speed is set to four seconds, which helps capture the streaming trails of the fireworks.
Sets the ISO to 100 and the f-stop to f11.
Sets the White Balance to 5300K.
Sets the exposure compensation to -1.0 EV. This is a full 1-stop underexposure to keep the firework highlights from burning out.
Sets the color to Vivid, the Saturation to High and the Contrast to Hard, all of these changes help enhance color.
Sets the Sharpness to Soft, which uses minimal sharpening in anticipation of post-processing.

Ray: “I thought perhaps your readers, especially those who are into action cam video, might be interested in what I’ve done to solve a problem that I’ve had for a while with regular action cams. I’ve taken a completely different approach to what I need in an action cam and purchased an Olympus Tough TG-5 and found that it works very well indeed and complements my entire m4/3 system perfectly: https://australianimage.com.au/olympus-tough-tg-5-part-1/.”
