Distributed Solar: The Democratizaton of Energy

2025Jan22-J22 converting ORF files to JPEG
Several professional photographers who teach use of OM System (nee “Olympus”) cameras and lenses recommend recording photos on camera in raw file format as a default. These are called “ORFs”. Any OMD camera can be set to do that. I … Continue reading
