Olympus PEN E-P2 Field Video Test

A field video test of the Olympus PEN E-P2 DSLR, featuring tropical plants and flowers. The 14-42mm kit lens and the in-camera microphone were used. The DSLR was hand-held, with no motion-stabilization. Very little color tweaking, the images are pretty much right out of the camera. You'll see that the kit lens is quite capable of macro shots, it gives beautiful bokeh, and there's even a surprise macro shot at the end. Try to guess what it is.

my e-p2 on HD only record about 4 min and stopped.... do you know why and which settings I need to adjust? thanks

@jpzhouutube Could be your card, could be the battery, not sure. Try using a higher performance SD card (one that can specifically handle HD video write speeds) and make sure the battery's fully charged.

Is that nice bokeh only achievable in macro mode with the kit lens?

[raoulpop]

@WilliamRayWalters All I used was the kit lens and manual focus. Worked beautifully.

Beautiful clips! Got an E-P2 myself, it is suprisingly good for filmining.

@CameronCampbellFilms My cards had enough size left. It was not size issue. I think raoulpop is right, it is SD card performance issue. Regular card may have a problem at high speed... I tried my other "Ultra 200MB/sec" card, it seems work fine. Well, I found sound quality of HD is far worse than that of SD mode though. I think Olympus E-P2 made a big mistake on this regard. I basically cannot use the HD model at all becaue of poor sound quality: /watch?v=k73Z97dOSzQ

@jpzhouutube its a limit set by the file system on the SD card if I'm not mistaken, my canon t3i does the same thing and I have a class 10 32gb card

Do you have the link to where you got it from?

@qaqtuze Thank you!
