The high speed version, a screaming 60 fps, works great for "flighty little
things" that are not coming straight at you or straight away from you.
The real neat thing about ProCapture, is the viewfinder never goes dark! So you
can accurately pan with a bird flying perpendicular to line-of-sight. It stays
in focus, and you have 60 frames to pick from!
And not only this, but you can do it with ANY lens you can put on the thing,
whereas the "slow" version only works with PRO lenses, because only they have
adequate auto-focus to track at 18 fps.
(Actually, I think 18 fps in continuous autofocus is spec'd as the peak,
depending on speed of autofocus.)
The E-M1.2 was criticized for not doing 4k video at 30+ fps. But with
ProCapture, it will do MORE than 4k at 60 fps, for one second! If you're then
viewing it at standard frame rates, you get 4x slo-mo for four seconds. A
slow-mo cut of more than four seconds starts to bore users, anyway.
Try it. You'll like it!
