OM-D E-M1’s new HDR (High Dynamic Range) Shooting Mode will fire and bracket four shots in rapid succession with a single shutter press. The images are then aligned, merged and processed automatically, in camera. As such, no tripod is necessary and it will work hand-held as shown below. There is also an extended mode which can bracket in 12 EV range.
OM-D EM-1: Normal backlit situation where meter is influenced by stronger back light.
OM-D EM-1: Auto-blended final HDR image from four bracketed shots. Not perfect but without that surreal HDR look which I hate.
The HDR image from above with a pinch of curves, contrast and saturation adjustments in Photoshop. Took about 15 secs to do.
OM-D EM-1: For comparison, here is the same scene manually overexposed by +3 stops

“Pro lens should come with a hood” – LOL – my E-510, E-620 two kit lenses had free hoods, the 25mm DSLR lens did not have a hood because it is a pancake, the 75mm mft lens is expensive but has no free hood. Olympus stopped giving free hoods easily when they went MFT
Awesome, I really want this type of camera because I like to travel around the world and like to capture all beautiful moments on my cam.
