How Shutr Scout tailors settings to your OM-1 Mark II

  • Because the OM-1 Mark II has a Micro Four Thirds sensor (2x crop): compact, with extra reach and deeper depth of field at a given aperture, Shutr Scout factors that into depth-of-field guidance and how it balances aperture against shutter and ISO.
  • With in-body stabilization, Shutr Scout can suggest slower hand-held shutter speeds when you want them, so you keep ISO down in low light.
  • Its autofocus is advanced subject recognition that can track people, animals, and vehicles, so Shutr Scout uses the right focus mode and area for what you are shooting.
  • It knows the body's native ISO ceiling (102,400) and fastest shutter (1/8000s), so it never recommends a setting your OM-1 Mark II cannot actually use.
  • For video, it accounts for the OM-1 Mark II's frame-rate limits (4K up to 60fps, 1080p up to 120fps) before applying the shutter rule for natural motion.
