Welcome to the second week of OM SYSTEM Summer School!

This week is all about Pro Capture Mode!

In Pro Capture Mode, your camera starts shooting before you do. Just half-press the shutter button to begin buffering images – your camera will save up to 70 of the most recent buffered images, taken both before AND after you release the shutter button.
