Thank you, Rob, for not having any background music! It is so much easier to concentrate without disturbing music.

[@RobTrek]

Thanks. I don't know too many teachers that teach with background music on, so I tried to replicate that.

[@kalebspain3000]

Rob, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Love the style of teaching, speed, and simplicity. You are the man.

[@RobTrek]

Thank you.

[@agnorton687]

I know this tutorial is 5 years old, but I just found it. I have had my camera for probably 5 years and ended up selling off lenses because I had no idea how to set it up to be able to use it better than my iPhone camera. The ISO tip is a huge help. I just ordered the Panasonic 30mm 1.7, and still have the manual 14-42mm zoom kit lense. You could sell a course on this camera, with shooting assignments! I can’t wait to watch your other videos on the OM D EM-10 mark ii!

[@raacla4436]

My wife recently retired from 30 years of teaching and is now having the opportunity to take her passions (photography and digital scrapbooking) to a higher level. A few weeks ago she ran across one of your videos and immediately fell in love with your teaching style. She very much appreciates your easy-going manner and the comfortable pace you take, combined with your ability to clearly explain things in an unassuming way. She suggested I have a look myself and after watching a few of your videos, I understand why she is so happy to have discovered your channel. We have a couple of E-M10s, so we are very thankful to have found your tutorials for the menu system and features on this camera. Thanks for filling this much needed but neglected niche.

[@RobTrek]

Thanks for taking the time to write. I really appreciate the kind feedback. I will continue this series, just been so busy lately. I envy your wife's retirement.

[@lu965]

Thank you Rob for putting out these super practical and beginner friendly videos especially about setting up a new Olympus camera. I just bought a new EM10 Mark ii and like you said I didn't know how to start. I knew that it is a very powerful camera (that's why I chose it) and I also knew that Olympus is famous for their complex menu settings. I am so grateful that your video was the first one I watched right after I opened my camera box. Your instructions are clear and all the explanations make sense even for a absolute beginner like me. I like how you show your camera screen from the background and that's really helpful. I also like that you pointed out everything you did with every little settings and the reasons behind it. It is really easy for someone like me to follow and learn from it. Your video gives me the confidence that I can use this camera with its full potential instead of never knowing some of the hidden but useful features. THANK YOU!

[@RobTrek]

I'm glad the videos are helping you get started. I appreciate you taking the time to write. Thanks for watching!

[@mirandavandenberk786]

I agree,

[@grantw7]

I watched some of Rob's video BEFORE I purchased a used EM10 mark ii. I would never have bought it without knowing that Rob would be there with a video to explain how to use it. What you said about Rob's video instruction is exactly what I was going to say. I am a retired high school teacher and I agree that Rob is an excellent teacher!

[@davidburke311]

I've had the camera for a while but did not have time to come to grips with it. This is a great introduction, particularly how to set the single auto focus point. I am looking forward to viewing more of your down-to-earth videos. Many thanks!

[@RobTrek]

Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for explaining! I never took the time out to actually learn my Olympus and now thanks to you I already learned about optimizing my JPEG quality. I am going to watch the entire series now.

[@RobTrek]

Happy to help!

[@sheafferblue6902]

This is an amazing video. Super clear and easy to understand. I just opened the box and before shooting a single shot I changed all the settings. I want to watch every one of Rob’s videos. What a way to learn a new camera! Thanks so much, Rob.

[@RobTrek]

Thanks!

[@kathyhiggins7884]

I bought my Olympus Mark iii based on your videos. I have watched 5 of them, some several times. I look forward to watching more. I've been an avid, amateur photographer since the 70's and now I'm finally getting the instruction that will really help me out. Your settings for beginners is AWESOME. I never would have found all of that in the menus. I would have been very frustrated with this camera without your help! Thank you. Thank you.

[@RobTrek]

Thanks. Glad to help!

[@susanjacobson3373]

Totally agree! Thank-you so much Rob!

[@sandrineplanque4958]

I bought this camera 2 weeks ago and was really stressed about getting into its menu, especially because I am a beginner. I will get lessons next month to learn about basic of photography, like aperture, speed aso... But obviously it will be general info anf I am very glad discovering your channel. It allow me to start with my camera. I like how you make it simple with sharing your menu screen and your explanations are well organised. I am french and could not find any clear and short review to start, yours is perfect... And lucky me, I have enough english knowledges to understand your words. Thanks a lot. I will dig into next parts in coming days. Take care.

[@RobTrek]

Glad to help!

[@vandyc]

super appreciated sir! This was the only thing for a beginner like me that wasn't a tremendously long video and so step by step with your explanations. GREAT JOB

Thank you so much. I just retired and bought an Olympus Pen F . My first good camera was an Olympus OM-1 back in the seventies. Then I upgraded to an OM-2 with lots of Zuiko lenses. Stopped shooting film quite a long time ago. This is my third digital camera but I never could understand the menu systems on the others. You have made understanding the computer on this rascal much easier. I have a long way to go but with your help I'll get there. Thanks again.

I watched these beginner videos years ago when I first got my camera. Long story short. I’ve been using my larger cameras for awhile and not my Olympus. However getting ready to take a big trip with wife where smaller micro four third,camera is preferable. Watching videos again to re-familiarize myself to the control system. Your videos are very helpful. Also, picking up some tips I must have missed the first time through. Thank you so much for making these videos. 😊

[@RobTrek]

Glad these videos are still helpful. Thanks.

[@RobTrek]

Thanks, Carl! I try.

[@robertward1380]

This is what gets me about so many online tutorials of one sort or another. I click the OK button in order to follow the JPEG/RAW instructions and I get a totally different screen from the one displayed in the tutorial, one to change various settings with a slider - colour, brightness, blur background etc. So as a complete beginner I'm now stumped on the very first tutorial. Sorry, I'm not saying these aren't good tutorials, they are, careful to explain, but I think it's important to keep in mind all eventualities the person watching might come up against.

[@RobTrek]

Thanks, Robert. I believe your are in the SCN mode. I forgot to mention in this video to put the camera into "A" mode. Let me know if that worked. Thanks. -Rob

[@robertward1380]

@@RobTrek Hi Rob. Thank you for your kind reply, and sorry for being a misery. I was in Auto mode actually, but fortunately managed to find some initiative to check out another mode. It all worked thanks and I'm very much looking forward to working through all your videos and taking more pictures. It's a great and very generous service you've provided. One last thing though; adjusting the aperture in Aperture Mode, the smallest aperture I could get to was about 3.5 (I think), not the 1.7 illustrated in the video. I've gathered this might have been because I was using the kit lenses rather than a prime lens. Thanks again for your reply. Robert

[@RobTrek]

@@robertward1380 Glad to help. Yes, the lens will dictate the maximum and minimum aperture. f/3.5 is correct for the kit lens.

This camera can take absolutely amazing photos. To get the most out of the pictures though you’d need to shoot in RAW mode instead of JPG mode if your serious about photography.

A little late to the party, but thank you for the video, Rob. I've been so intimidated by this camera I've only been shooting on Auto. I'm so ready to expand my photography now. Thanks!

[@RobTrek]

Glad to help!

Hi Rob, Thank you so so much, as an enthusiastic beginner this is exactly what I needed. I will now watch your other videos!

[@RobTrek]

Glad to help!

My new camera arrived yesterday and it frankly scared me. I am so looking forward to this series of videos. Thank you for your efforts.

[@RobTrek]

Thanks! I plan to continue shortly, just been so busy lately.

I love your videos and they have been so helpful to me with my new camera. I have two comments that may be helpful. Please repeat at the start what mode setting you are in and show how to disable Quick Sleep right away as those of us following you have to keep waking the camera up as we scroll through all the settings. Thanks for your great work and all the time you dedicate to us Beginners.

Thanks for the feedback. I can see where you're coming from. Appreciate you taking the time to write!

Just bought my E-M10 Mark II. I don't know how to thank you for this video. Before finding it I was really struggling with the menu!

[@RobTrek]

Thanks for watching!

[@pepvert]

Great video. Thanks for the detail and no fluff!!! Will certainly check the rest of your series.

[@RobTrek]

Awesome, thank you!

[@juliehunstad4779]

Thank you for this! I’ve been watching general videos on beginning photography but watching your videos on the specific camera I have is much more helpful!

[@RobTrek]

Thanks. Glad this video helped. I do most of my videos on the e-m10-ii, so you will find lots of stuff.

[@c4talystMD]

thank you Rob, one year on your tutorial still benefits beginners like me who have just bought a new EM10, cheers

[@RobTrek]

Thanks. Good to know it's still relevant and watchable.
