How to get Olympus Colour & Look / Best Camera Settings for Olympus OMD&PEN

[@mobilepsycho]

Olympus tends to lose users in its menus . This tutorial is very useful. Well done, thank you.

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ mobile madman - Hello There, Thanks a lot for your encouraging comment. You are absolutely right about the olympus menus. It takes a long time to remember where your settings are eventhough super control panel helps. I tried a lot to find a simple and useful olympus tutorial when i bought my omd. There are very good blogs about it but very few youtube videos. That's the reason why i thought of making one since a lot of people search youtube for tutorials. I am so glad it clicked. Cheers !!

[@praker5139]

Most of this was basic but important to take the time and get these settings right. Well done and thank you! We spend so much money on these great cameras and it makes a whole difference. Especially turning off that 'noise filter' and keeping warm colors 'off' in auto WB. Makes a huge difference.

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ P Raker - Hi There, Thanks a lot for your kind words. I do appreciate it. You are absolutely right about the money that we spend on cameras and photography in general. I totally agree with the difference that changing settings make. I always think that all camera companies make their default setting the best settings for getting the most out of their cameras. Atleast for Jpeg images that most people use it for. But that's not happening. Well, KZbin tutorials and online blogs help. But still there may be many people who never change settings at all and feel unhappy about their purchase. Anyways all the best for your photography P Raker. Cheers!!

This is a wonderful tutorial! You're demonstrating slow enough for first timers like me to follow. Thank you so much! I feel like I am learning instead of listening to other videos that babble on like a review rather than a tutorial.

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ ティラ - Hello there, Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to read comments like yours and find my effort is getting success. Well, I am a slow learner myself and i only understand things when it's explained slow and simple. That's the same method i used here anyways. All the Best my Friend..

[@ElizaEnsueno]

I have just bought my camera and have spent all day searching for the best tutorials because I want to get to taking my pictures tomorrow! You are the last person I found and THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE AND CLEAR IN YOUR TUTORIAL!!! Thank you so much!

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ Elizabeth Torres - Hello Elizabeth, Firstly, Enjoy your new camera & Thanks a lot for your kind words. I don't think i am the most knowledgeable. But i tried my best to make it simple & clear. When i bought my camera i searched a lot for tutorials. Robin Wong's & Gary Ayton's blogs were super useful, I have written what i needed. but i still had to try it and make sure it works for me and to find some more useful things for easy shooting and editing. Anyways i am really happy that people find this video simple & useful :) All the Best for your photography Elizabeth !!

[@ggray3479]

Finally, someone explains some of the menus and settings. Very helpful.

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ G Gray - Thanks a lot for your kind words G Gray. I really appreciate that. I struggled a lot in the beginning to get the result i want from my olympus em10. Ofcourse changing to good glass does help. But to know the best Jpeg settings in camera was a difficult task especially olympus has a long list of menus. Robin Wong's & Gary Ayton's blogs were super useful, but i still had to try it and make sure it works for me and to find some more useful things for easy shooting and editing. Anyways i am really happy that people find this video simple & useful :)

[@svvancouver3307]

Thank you much! I bought Pen F and put it on the shelf always thinking of selling it because the menus are confusing and I got discouraged. I bought a second EPL-7 and came here. In 20 minutes you helped me get past my frustrations. I will try these on the Pen F too.

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@svvancouver3307 - Thank you so much for your kind words. I am really happy that the video was helpful to you :) Best Wishes for your Photographic Journey..

[@raymondmckinnon8098]

Great Tutorial.Thank you So much.I have a had my Olympus 5 Mark 2 for over year. and your tutorial was so clear to understand. I have had trouble getting my head around the menus on this camera . I am looking forward to taking better photos. Thanks Jithesh

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ raymond mckinnon - Hello Raymond, Thank you so much for your kind words. It was exactly my intention to make this video clear and easy to understand. Olympus EM5 Mark2 is an awesome camera and i am sure you will have some excellent photographs during your photographic journey. All the Best Ray..

[@JanTaylorEssentialimages]

Just bought a penf after using Nikon SLRS for many years! I love the camera but settings a little complicated. After watching many videos I was still not able to get my head round it! This video has really helped me .... so easy to understand. Feel so relieved I will now be able to use the camera effectively. Thank you.

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ Jan Hawksworth - Hello Jan, Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to read comments like yours and find my effort is getting success. It was exactly my intention to make this video simple and clear. To be honest, i searched and experimented a lot to find the best settings for jpeg photos when i bought my Olympus EM10 2. I am from a DSLR background too. Anyway so glad to hear the video is helpful. All the Best Jan..

[@anilvenad988]

I am using EM5 last two years and now got it corrected. Got the connectivity now. Olympus should give focus on this area. Thanks very much Jithesh

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ Anil Venad - Hi Anil, Sorry about the late reply. Thanks a lot for your kind words. EM5 is a good camera. A simplified menu system is always good. Anyways All the Best..

[@PedroDVC]

Thank you so much for this. Even though I own the omd 10 mark III, I thought I had the best settings but luckily I was wrong. I say luckily because the photos that are already good will become amazing. I just love Oly cameras!

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ Pedro Vieira de Castro - Hi Pedro, Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for your kind words. Glad you enjoy Photography. Cheers !!!

[@ElizaEnsueno]

Thank you again! I felt nervous yet confident in taking pictures today based on your tutorial. Still so much to learn and thank you for sharing the blogger info. Will look in that today.

[@rogerbarnes2066]

I have learned so much by watching your video. Your step by step demonstrations and clear explanations really set a very high standard. I have been able to stop trying to work it all out on my pdf Olympus manual! Thank you.

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ Roger Barnes - Hello Roger, Thanks a lot for your comment Mate. I am a kind of person who understand things easily if explained in an easy step by step method. That's the exact reason i made this video like this eventhough it makes the video longer. I am so glad you find it helpful. To be honest i never read the olympus manual. instead i found online blogs and tutorials really helpful to try different settings and find what works for each. I strongly believe that the most difficult task is trying to make things easy and i am constantly trying for that. All the best Roger. Merry X-Mas. Keep Clicking & Make memories :)

[@dcxdanny]

Thanks! I took my Olympus E-PL7 through your instructions, and it helped a lot. Next will be my Olympus E M10

[@johnhunter2058]

Wonderful Olympus camera-totally useless Olympus manual; so thank heavens for people like you~! Easily the best and most assimilable presentation I've seen (and I've watched a fair few). I found you when in despair I was simply trying to find how to set to infinity for star shots-now posting this comment while still only halfway through your video, in fact ...

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ John HUNTER - Hello Again John, I am sorry for the late reply since i was on holidays. Thank you very much for your kind words and i truly appreciate it. It's really encouraging to read comments like yours and come to know my effort is getting success and people find these videos helpful. Olympus Functions and Customisation are really amazing. But the Menu system is so difficult to find what we need at times. All the best with your star shots and your support :)

[@johnhunter2058]

Thank you. My own apologies, for taking so long getting back to you. :-)

[@crosenvold1]

I am an old rat to photography (Nikon), but new to Olympus. Just got a PAN F, and your video was very easy to follow and very helpful to get a good basic jpeg setting to get started. Thank you very much.

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ Carl Rosenvold - Hello Carl, Thank you so much for your kind words. It was exactly my intention to make this video simple and clear.I am so glad that you find the video helpful. I started photography with a film camera Kodak KB10 [My dad's gift] then a Canon Powershot S110, Canon 600D and a & a 760D now. I am also new to Olympus. I suggest you to go with prime lenses like 25 & 45 f/1.8 to get good result along with the jpeg settings. All the best Carl..

[@bluebiegrace1828]

Thank you, Jithesh!! I have had my Pen F since last summer and was discouraged to use it because the settings were far way off. Honestly, I started regretting purchasing it. Still, determined not giving up on it, I took it out again tonight and wwwhhhalla!! I found your channel. I set it accordingly to your recommendations and wow!! you helped me uncover the beauty of this camera to endless possibilities. Thank you again for sharing.

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ Bluebie Grace - Thanks a lot for your kind words. Much appreciated. I was in your position when i started with olympus. To be honest, Robin Wong's Blog posts helped me a lot. Now that he has a youtube channel by his name, please check it out and i am sure you will get lots of ideas to get the best out of Olympus. Cheers !!

[@MrWalkfan]

Really helpfull and a clear explanation! Well done Jithesh.

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ Mark Mertens - Hi Mark, Thank you so much for your kind words. It was exactly my intention to make this video simple and clear. To be honest, i searched and experimented a lot to find the best settings for jpeg photos. I am from a DSLR background. I was so used to zoom in photos and crop heavily while editing. I was not happy with my MFT purchase in the beginning until i started using Olympus 25 & 45 primes and changed camera settings and started editing with olympus viewer. I wish these tips are helpful for new Olympus users. Cheers !!

[@stevenvanzoelen]

I am used to Nikon and Canon for 30 years and I had to do my homework using the mini Pen. This Video helps a lot. Editing with Photoshop does not lose your Olympus look though.

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ U-777 zevennaam - Hello There, Thanks a lot for your comment. I am still a Canon user by the way. But i like Olympus too. To be honest, I don't use photoshop anymore as i don't edit nowadays. Laziness, nothing else. But i am very happy with Jpeg photos. All the Best..

[@nadiramhs]

I am using Olympus Pen E-PL7. I know I dont have an eye for photography but I've been wondering what was wrong with my camera that the colour tends to bit a little bit off and too "warm" compared to how others took it. This tutorial had been super helpful. There's a huge difference to the pictures that I took now. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!! BLESS YOU!!

[@michaelkitchen5719]

An extremely easy to follow and in depth review of many settings for the Olympus E-M10 Mk11 camera. I have followed all the options and now have a camera that I believe will help to give me better photos. Even to the option of downloading the Olympus Viewer for the Mac - something that I had not previously considered as I tend to rely upon Photos or Affinity Photo. Great piece of video, thanks

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ Michael Kitchen - Hello Michael, Thank you very much for your kind words and i truly appreciate it. It was exactly my intention to make this video easy to follow and clear. It's really encouraging to read comments like yours and come to know my effort is getting success and people find these videos helpful. EM10 Mark2 is a nice little camera when paired with good lenses like Olympus 45 or 25 etc. Olympus Viewer is really slow but do help to preserve the olympus colour for sure. But if you are happy with straight out of camera photos, May be " Snapseed " from Appstore or Googleplay will be more than enough for cropping or basic adjustments i guess. Anyways All the Best Michael for your photography journey..

[@michaelkitchen5719]

Hi Jithesh, Still getting to grips with the various setting options. I was particularly interested with your comment that to get the best out of the Olympus colours you would use the 4:3 picture size setting. Given that the video mode and most other camcorders would use 16:9 by default, I would be pleased to hear whether a change to wide format would in your opinion be detrimental. The same question really applies to whether to use sRGB or Adobe RGB as the colour space. Regards, Michael K

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ Michael Kitchen - Hello Michael, Thanks for watching my video and commenting. Like i mentioned Olympus cameras are having 4:3 native aspect ratios since they have a micro four thirds sensor. My idea is to get the best out of this sensor for people who take photos for fun. That's why suggested super fine jpeg instead of raw. But it's okay to use different aspect ratios if you don't mind full resolution. Even i use a 3:2 aspect ratio on Olympus if i know that i will print them with 6x4 format. I haven't really thought of sRGB/Adobe RGB to be honest. Please correct me if i am wrong, But as far as i know it's the same difference between Raw & Jpeg with regards to easy editing, sharing and printing with sRGB files. All the Best Michael..

This the most concise, clear and easy-to-follow tutorial for the Olympus micro 4/3 cameras I have come across on KZbin. Excellent! I have subscribed and look forward to checking out your other videos and future ones. You have given me confidence to begin using my new em10 2. When I first received the camera a few days ago, I was rather overwhelmed by the learning curve to master the deep menu system. I'm beginning to move through the menu now with much more ease. Thanks for taking the time to do this for us.

Hi Jithesh Your tutorial is the best out there . I really enjoyed the video. I have the EM5 mark2. I would love to see more similar videos from you. For example how to use the live composite, High Resolution Shot & Time lapse Video etc. Many Thanks

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ AverageTraveller - Hi There, Thanks a lot for your kind words. I am so glad you found this video enjoyable. EM5 mark 2 is an awesome camera. I boght my em10 mark 2 just a month ago. still not touched live composite and time lapse etc. All i wanted was to get the best jpeg image quality. I am happy with the image quality by using all the settings mentioned in the video and prime lenses like oly 25 & 45. There are minor issues though like focusing on moving subjects [slow/fast] ,Olympus file numbering system and printing six by four format. If you prefer small size and light weight and good enough image quality+advanced technology - micro four thirds are the best :) Keep Clicking..

@ Aveek Mukherjee - Hello Aveek, I am sorry for the late reply since i was on holidays. Thank you very much for your kind words and i truly appreciate it. It's really encouraging to read comments like yours and come to know my effort is getting success and people find these videos helpful. You must be happy with your Pen i guess. Try Prime lenses like 45mm 1.8 for great portraits if not owned one. That will surely give you the best out of Olympus Cameras. All the Best Aveek and Enjoy Photography !!

[@mukherjeeaveek]

I love my PEN. I use an old Canon FD 50 1.8, other than the 14-42 kit lens. The FD 50 also works fantastic. Do drop your photography coordinates like flickr, 500px etc, I would be glad to connect with you. Here's mine : 500px.com/aveekmukherjee1

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ Aveek Mukherjee - Hellow again Aveek, I have checked your photos. Amazing Landscapes. Awesome frames. Infact i don't have any photography related accounts like flickr,500px etc. I am just a casual photographer who likes to take family and friends photos. I also like to share whatever i learned through my youtube channel. Sometimes i take general photos for my videos. That's about it. Anyways All the best for your photography journey and Thanks again for your encouraging comment !!

[@barrieainge4937]

Hi Jithesh,many thanks for your help in setting up my omd em10 mark ii,it has been so helpful. One small query,I was setting up the single autofocus mode to obtain the smallest square by selecting the s setting,but when I go back to the grid with the squares,I only have 25 squares instead of the 81 that show in your example and I cannot seem to change that by re checking everything. Any idea what is going on?Many thanks ,Barrie

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ Barrie Ainge - Hi Barrie, Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to read comments like yours and find my effort is getting success. About the smallest focusing square, May be you can select it from both settings and super control panel. While selecting focus points on live view, there is usually a small bar you can drag up & down to make focusing square smaller & bigger. Please check 6.50 on this video. Hope this help. All the Best Barrie :)

@ Ira Crummey - Hello Ira, You made my day Man. You know what, I watched a lot of your micro four third related videos and got inspired about mft system. Well, your videos are simple, straight to the point and informative. Anyways thanks a lot for your comment, i truly appreciate it. Keep on going Ira..

[@ramalakshmanan9158]

Thanks for these tips ... I've had an OM-D and a PEN for some months and didn't know about some of these useful tips - although I guess I have tended to shoot in RAW+JPEG by default. I have the Olympus Viewer 3 installed by have not really used it. Have tended to use Photos App on Mac and also have an inexpensive DxO Optics plugin for that same tool. But I will give OV3 a shot sometime soon. The settings you have shown us are mostly ones I was not aware of and so very helpful. Although these days the Super Control Panel is activated by default and also touch sensitive screen. Still, it is good to know where in the vast menu system these items live. On a separate note, I also really enjoyed your black and white street photography video. Although I now live in Scotland and so don't have quite the wealth and variety of street activity as back home, watching your video I really enjoyed your photos and they did inspire me. I have a long standing mental health issue and I purchased my camera gear as a way of getting me out and about but I have been a bit "stuck" with struggles with depression just now. I'm hopeful that I will get out more often now after being inspired by your video. I was also pleased to see that you had used an entry level Canon DSLR and very inexpensive lens. I have a 450D - not quite a 600D - and also the same 50mm f/1.8 lens which I just love. I also have a couple of zooms which have IS and are large and heavy - that's why I shifted to micro 4/3 - these are just ridiculously small and I carry 4 lenses in my raincoat pocket along with one small camera (GX80). I still would not sell my Canon gear. It has its own "look". I even used to use the 50mm on my first micro 4/3 with an adapter ... But now I have got an m4/3 lens of roughly the same spec and even smaller so that has done me fine now. Once again, thanks for so much helpful information and also helpful inspiration! Sincerely, Rama Lakshmanan

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ Rama Lakshmanan - Hello Sir, I am sorry for the late reply since i was on holidays. Thank you very much for your kind words and i truly appreciate it. It's really encouraging to read comments like yours and come to know my effort is getting success and people find these videos helpful. You will definitely be happy with Viewer 3 Result i guess and i am also using Snapseed photo editing app which is amazing aswell. With regards to street photography, you are absolutely right about India. India through a Street Photographer's viewfinder is like a Sea or Stars to a Child. So much variety, Different Cultures, Festivals, etc etc. I still have my Canon gear [ with 50mm as the only lens] eventhough i have my OMD. Olympus primes like 45mm are amazing. Photography is ofcourse a way of happiness. I feel so happy to see the smiles of people through the view finder and when i show them their good photos i usually find another genuine smile from them. I wish you all the best and let happiness be in everything you do in Life. Cheers for your comment & support once again !!

[@ramalakshmanan9158]

No need to apologise - after all you are the one who shared the useful information! Also, please no "sir"! Or "Uncle" (though I'm 55 now - how did it happen? :-) ) - just "Rama" is fine. I love your "Sea of Stars" metaphor. I did buy a 45mm f/1.8 but having read a particular review that slightly unsettled me and pushed me in the direction of the Panasonic 42.5 f/1.7 - it is a bit sharper across the frame, has a shorter close focusing distance, and also has IS which functions in Dual IS mode with my GX80. But I do know that the 45mm Olympus has many other benefits over the Panasonic. Including price! (Although Olympus are terrible and don't give hoods or pouches ... The official hood for the 17mm f/1.8 costs £50+ here!) Do you put up your images on any photography site like Flickr? Please do let me know as I'd love to see more of your work. What do you do for a living? Is photography your career or your hobby? Or both!? God bless. Rama

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ Rama Lakshmanan - Hello Rama, Your choice is right with panasonic 42.5 beause it's wider for general shots too. I don't have any photography sites. Infact I am just a casual photographer who likes to take family and friends photos. I also like to share whatever i learned through my youtube channel. Sometimes i take general photos for my youtube videos. That's about it. I work in medical administration field. I love photography as a medium to keep my personal memories. All the best for whatever you do and God bless you brother !!

[@ramalakshmanan9158]

Cheers, Jithesh, yes, I think the 42.5mm is good for me - the biggest reason is the close-focussing ability and shallow depth of field because I LOVE to take photos of plants and flowers "portraits" in which sometimes they seem to have human qualities in how they look (usually I focus on 1-3 items within a bush, for example). While I had the 45mm with me from Amazon I was thinking about all the pros and cons and I came across this amazing photo on Flickr - I think it is one of the most beautiful images I've seen. www.flickr.com/photos/danielmichel2757/29416316360/in/faves-93314160@N04/ That helped me make the decision to send the Olympus lens back and buy the Panasonic. Also the overall Dual IS with in body stabilisation is supposed to be 6 stops and that is also very helpful for "Phlower Photos". BUT! There are real tradeoffs that are to be made ... The Panasonic primes (including my 25mm) suffer from chromatic aberration quite visibly. It tends to be corrected for in Panasonic bodies but not my Olympuses. So the Olympus 45mm f/1.8 shines in this regard. Also, with regards to the 42.5mm, the starbusts when stopped down are not all that pleasant and are a bit irregular - whereas those from the Olympus 45mm are very clean and beautiful. Plus the cost of the Panasonic is a good deal more. Too bad I can't afford both! Or may be it's good because I have a psychological tendency to fear leaving kit behind at home and pack too much anyway! I do understand your attitude towards photos of family and friends. Myself I used Flickr for quite a bit because it is a nice community of photographers and one gets helpful feedback, but then I switched about a year ago to Facebook and I share very different kinds of photos, sometimes silly ones from the photographic point of view, but suitable for family and friends. However, I still submit some pics to Flickr - I can recommend it if you want to widen your means of sharing your images. But no pressure at all - that's the worst. I was quite sceptical when my photography tutor (informal) in London suggested Flickr.com to me, but I soon got to enjoy it quite a bit. One can upload videos but it's primarily for stills and all of the images in your street photography video were well suited and of high calibre. However, it is each to his own, so I only mention this and look forward to more videos from you as is appropriate on KZbin - only if you set up a Flickr account, please do let me know so I can follow you there too. Take care and Blessings.

[@costas3953]

Very helpful video - thank you for putting this together. It has been very useful for me. Can you please explain the noise filter setting and why it is best to switch it off?

[@jitheshsivadasan]

@ Costas - Hello Costas, Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to read comments like yours and find my effort is getting success. My aim is to help users get the best out of camera jpeg photos possible. Noise filter always smudge details from your photo and take away the natural look of it. But honestly it's just a personal choice since i don't care grain/noise in my photos to get the best possible resolution and detail. Please try both on and off noise filter and find the result you like and stick to it. All the best Costas..
