While wandering around the backyard of my sisters I decided to take an image of this Rose of Sharon. After pressing the shutter buton I noticed a pause in the camera and a message in my EVF that said saving. This is not normal. So after some troubleshooting I discovered I’d somehow moved the drive dial to Adv1 setting. This had placed to camera into creating an image to duplicate a toy camera. I liked how they adjusted the image. So, by accident I found something I will use in some situations. This the untouched image it produced.

Ah yes, the old toy camera setting. A good one for sure when used in the right situations. Like this one. A happy accident 😊

Thanks, Cedric! For the past few years I’ve had some camera begin doing something different because I changed some setting. LOL

An expensive toy, to be sure! 🙂 Have fun with it! On my E-M1, it’s very easy to accidentally change some settings. I’ve had a few frustrating times trying to figure out exactly what I did!

I now have a pdf file of my manual for those times when I’ve done something weird or for simple troubleshooting.

I really like the effect of the shallow depth of field on this and how it isolates the flower from the background. The challenge will be to figure out how to repeat “on purpose” what you managed to do accidentally! 😉

Not even going to try but sure will play with it. Who knows what accident I’ll encounter next.
