It's good to see ISO 50 again as it has become a rare commodity. A medium close-up here with the city skyline in the background. Light is dull after a downpour and the slight blusish cast was was easily corrected in post.

Oly 550 meets a fellow Indonesian. Both camera and bulb are made in neighbouring Indonesia. The extreme telephoto may be getting all the attention but the camera's extreme close-up capability (1 cm) is another killer feature. The filament of this bulb (in my long-abandoned darkroom) measures less than 1 inch across.

Cats don't get red eyes. The camera's built-in flash is pretty decent but focusing seems erratic in low light despite enabling the AF illuminator. Manual focusing is frustrating with the access buried deep in the menu. Besides, my cat refused to stay still and my fingers keep hitting the play button when adjusting the up/down key. I have not read the manual but I think manual focus can be assigned to the custom button.
