Dear group, I wonder if anyone can help me please. I have an OM System OM-1 Mark II which has recently developed a fault when using Focus Bracketing. During a focus bracket sequence, the camera stops prematurely before I release the shutter button. The focus motor also stops, as though the camera has decided the sequence is complete. This results in incomplete focus stacks. I have confirmed that: the Focus Bracketing settings have not changed, the issue occurs with both my M.Zuiko 90mm Macro and my new 40-150mm f/2.8, the lens contacts have been cleaned, the problem is repeatable. Could you please advise whether this is a known issue or whether the camera requires inspection? The problem is fully reproducible on different subjects and with different lenses. The camera consistently terminates the Focus Bracketing sequence before I release the shutter button. Many thanks for your help.

Hello everyone 👋 Urgently need some help from anyone who knows Lightroom from technical perspective. Durning exporting pictures from DXO PhotoLab to Lightroom Classic it all the sudden crushed and both app got closed itself. Reopened DXO - working ok now. Lightroom now crushes each time just a second after opens. Tried to open it from backed up library but still same happens. Can not open Lightroom any ideas to resolve it ?

I was just alerted by someone that Instagram is incorrectly labeling real photos as AI-generated including several of my own images. After checking other photographers’ posts, it looks like this is happening to them as well, it seems if you stack or do any kind of retouching you will get this label!!!
