Camera Settings

Saved banks of camera settings that can be recalled with a dial position or button. Set one up for each situation you shoot often, and switching to it applies every stored setting at once. This avoids the classic failure: settings dialed in for one situation, then one of them forgotten when the situation changes.

Micro Four Thirds

The smallest of the common interchangeable-lens formats. Its featherweight sensor moves fast and far in its stabilizer, depth of field is immense, and long lenses stay small, which makes the format a favorite for birds and wildlife. Its limits: diffraction arrives early when stopping down, and serious low-light or night work wants a bigger sensor.
