Robin Wong: Why Olympus Failed – Mistakes That Led To Their Downfall

Share

Robin Wong writes:

Olympus Imaging obviously made a few mistakes that led to their downfall – the imaging company was carved out from Olympus and sold to a separate company, JIP. I want to discuss what went wrong and explore the mistakes in hopes that the new company, OM Digital Solutions will not repeat the same mistakes.

Google translated text from the Japanese DC.watch website:

With the update related to the improvement of the movie shooting function, it supports movie recording to an external SSD. It is possible to record and play photos and videos on an external SSD of up to 2TB via a USB cable.

For video recording, it is possible to record video data with large file sizes such as Apple ProRes 422 HQ (maximum 1.9Gbps) and 4:2:2 10bit All-Intra (maximum 800Mbps) directly to SSD. In addition, since data can be transferred directly from the SSD to the PC after shooting, it is possible to make backups after shooting and improve the efficiency of post-production.

High frame rate/variable frame rate videos with a frame rate of 61 fps or higher do not support recording to an external SSD. Simultaneous recording with an SD card or CFexpress card is not possible when using an external SSD. The company recommends using an external SSD whose operation has been confirmed.
