    Shooting with the Olympus E-M1 Mark III, I rely pretty heavily on Face Detect AF in general, but needless to say there are cases where it fails and the camera will fall back to using single point focus. Sometimes this can come in the middle of a shot sequence and in a performance photography context this can result in wildly different exposures since the camera's metering will change if a face is detected. I'm pretty "active" in using Auto Exposure Compensation, but that can also exacerbate matters when the Face is no longer part of the equation.

    Anyone else encounter this issue and found a workaround? Keep in mind that this is in the context of performance photography, where conditions are changing constantly and the dynamic range tends to be pretty extreme. Example, below...

    D'oh, sorry mods - meant to post this to the MFT forum. Would one of you mind moving it? I can't delete and repost myself, it appears.

    Sam,

    As far as deleting, I ran into the same thing. The best you can do is go back to your original post and edit it.
    Erase or delete everything you posted, and then type in "Deleted",. or "Forget everything I ever said", or whatever.

    Save that, and then go post on whatever Forum you originally wanted to post in.
