Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II: Exposure Compensation for Beginners Part 3

[@jbt2422]

What I love about these Videos is: there not just teaching me about my OMD, they're teaching me about photography - Many Thanks

[@mrbill2600]

Olympus should hire you and include your excellent videos with every E-M10 sale... I'm getting to really know and enjoy my camera. Thank you.

[@RobTrek]

Thanks for watching!

[@fauxit55]

I just bought my new mark 11 and found these videos. I’m shocked you don’t work for Olympus. These are “ultimate in learning”videos. Can’t thank you enough.

[@someonesgoat]

I'm honestly blown away at how well you teach, I have been trying to figure these things out for so long and this series just makes it all so clear, so simply. 👍

[@RobTrek]

Glad you like them!

I learned a lot, I now go over your video's for the second time, there is so much to learn. It's now a year later and I now understand things more easily. The first time I felt very intimidated and now I feel less intimidated and more curious and eager to learn

[@RobTrek]

Happy to help! Keep at it. I'm still learning myself.

[@agataczarnecka4010]

Just got my Mark III and thanks to your tutarials (even though about Mark II) that I'd watched before buying camera, once I got it, I could immediately start shooting and find it easier to navigate through the menu, settings etc. Thanks a lot Rob! I will recommend your tutorials to my friends and all interested in getting into basics of photography.

Thank you!

[@ThePeteutube]

If you haven't discovered Rob Trek yet, you're missing out on one of the most natural teaching styles you'll experience. He doesn't rush the viewer and delivers information in sizes of bites that you can digest. I've been using my new Em5 for 6 months and have learned things watching Rob that I should have picked up by now but didn't . Thank you Rob. Keep up the excellent work.

[@RobTrek]

Thank you for the kind feedback. Much appreciated!

[@ftfdec]

A great learning tool. Every time I watch it I lick up something I missed before. Thank you Rob.

[@RobTrek]

Thanks! I'm glad this video is still useful.

[@suehobson8452]

Have just watched Parts 1, 2 and 3 and I finally have an understanding of my wonderful camera. I tried reading the manual but none of what I was reading made sense like it did when watching you. Thank you so much

[@RobTrek]

Thanks, Sue. Glad to help. Don't hesitate to ask any questions and check out my live streams too.

[@caplings]

Rob, All of your videos are awesome. I have an OMD-EM10 and have watched quite a few of your videos about that camera. You explain everything very clearly and concisely, and your videos are just plain enjoyable to watch! Many Thanks for all your work!

[@RobTrek]

Thanks!

[@JP4drumsFarrell]

Rob, Sometimes I get stuuuuupid and go back to these great videos to straighten my brain out. Thanks!!!!!

[@ZaGaijinSmash]

Mate, I love these videos. Really straightforward and easy to follow along with. This is my first proper camera and until I found your series I was feeling quite intimidated by it, especially when my photographer friends and family members are throwing all kinds of advice and unfamiliar photography language at me.

[@RobTrek]

You'll be up to speed in no time! Thanks.

[@b.johnovink841]

Thank you so much, Rob. I have been using Olympus cameras (my last: the OM20) for the first part of my life, then didn't have time for my hobby for the longest time, got lazy and used my i-phone. i'm now retired and discovered during my recent visit to Yellowstone that the i-phone really doesn't cut it. So, sticking with what i know to be a decent camera, I just got the Olympus OMD M10 II. To say it mildly, their manual stinks. And while there are any number of videos out there, they all assume you already know what the camera can do, and what all the functions stand for. You are the first and only one who starts at the very beginning. THANK YOU. you are opening a new world in cameras for me. i knew i had a good camera, and you showed me what i can do with it. You are patient, explain clearly, don't assume anything, and walk us through it! Please keep making tutorial videos. As i get further into your tutorials, i may make suggestions or ask questions.

[@RobTrek]

Thanks. I think some people forget what beginner means. I have plenty of videos where I'm talking to experienced photographers but try to make beginner videos for beginners.

[@Jennifer603]

Ok... thank you so very much for your videos. I am in love with my camera because of you. Your teaching style is outstanding!

[@RobTrek]

Thanks!

[@uTPH1]

Had my E-M10 over a year, lots of fun and great travel camera. I have many years SLR film and digital experience but have just found your videos giving me a new sense of understanding of my E-M10 and some great photo tips along the way. Great Job.

[@RobTrek]

Thank you!

[@janesmall8616]

[@bluesurfe8]

Thanks Rob I have had my camera for a while now and I wish I had seen your videos earlier. They are fantastic and I am learning new things. I have a renewed enthusiasm to get out there and take photos.

[@RobTrek]

Thank you!

[@michaeloconnell3678]

Only got the camera a couple of days ago and have practiced after each tutorial. I can already see the improvements. Excellent and more helpful than you probably realise

[@RobTrek]

Thanks. Glad the series is helping.

[@rastas000]

Rob, I have just picked up this camera in a conscious move away from my Canon DSLR. This series has truncated my learning curve and allowed me to not feel like a numpty in a very short time.. I appreciate your knowledge and expertise, along with the considerable effort to create these videos. Thankyou sir.

Thank you for the kind feedback. Much appreciated!

[@samham3901]

great Rob 💖 can't thank you enough!

[@chuckciao1]

Rob, as a new OM-10 Mark II owner, i’ve read the manual at least 3 times, often times with some confusion. But watching your excellent tutorials, everything about the camera makes sense! Thanks so much and please keep you videos coming!

[@RobTrek]

Thank you for the kind feedback. Much appreciated!

[@petergulliver3225]

These beginner series are great Rob. I have mainly been shooting in manual, thinking it was sort of cheating if I used the other modes. What you are saying really is, make full use of your camera. The manufacturers put all the modes and settings in their cameras to improve our photography. If the technology is there, then use it.

[@RobTrek]

Long as you understand what the camera is doing, it's not cheating. If you really want to go hardcore, you could always try full manual slr film camera with no meter. :)

[@seamanjive]

@@RobTrek That where I'm at - I want to take what I learn here on the E-M10 and apply it to an old OM-10 35mm film camera that I have here. Great vids, thanks!

[@sergiucernautan3042]

I recently purchased an E-M10 Mark II and your beginner videos have been very helpful. Even though I am not new to photography (I used to shoot with film and do my own development and printing of photos) I am relatively new to digital photography. I am on Part 4 of your videos now and can't wait to finish the rest. The videos have given me so much more confidence in shooting with my new digital camera and enabled me to have more fun rather than being frustrated with the complexity of all the overwhelming menus and settings. Your explanations are so much better than the Olympus user manual (which I am reading cover to cover). By the way: I even watched your video where you explain why you selected the E-M10 Mark II vs. the E-M5 Mark II and found myself echoing your conclusions. Totally agree!! Not worth 2x the price $$ for my shooting needs (but I acknowledge that it maybe totally worth it for others though). Thank you for taking the time to do these tutorials and I look forward to many more. You are a natural teacher and have a great gift for explaining concepts very clearly. Love your equipment recommendation links too. Definitely adding to my wish list there. Thank you Rob!

[@RobTrek]

Thank you for taking the time to write. I appreciate the kind words. I'm glad the tutorials are helping even an experienced photographer like yourself.

[@mattj6382]

I cant thank you enough Rob. I had limited time to get my head around the camera and its settings ahead of taking it to hospital today to capture some images after the birth of my first child. Thanks for taking a step back to basics (for you) to help beginners like me get off on the right foot with this camera and photography in general!

Thanks, Hans. I try.

[@jacksden1]

Hi, Rob. I find these videos really helpful. As I'm going with the progress, I am having to go back and forth as I experiment, which helps to cement the knowledge. I would like to thank you for your time and expertise: you are helping me to understand not only the camera, but photography, also. It isn't just holding a camera up and pressing a button. I find it a very technical process, and to me, who has not got a technical brain quite stressful. I look forward to session 4. Thanks again. John

Thanks. I'm getting around to Part 4. Just been so busy lately.

[@flyingmonkeytfc]

Thank you so much for doing a beginner series. I purchased my E-M10 Mark II last month and hadn't used a "real" camera since the late 80's in a photography class in school. With only vague memories of basic terminology, I binge watched a lot of your previous E-M10 Mark II videos and still felt in over my head since my foundation is still weak. Consider me very interested in starting from scratch. I really enjoy your clear style of educating with no undercurrent of condescension or gear elitism. I second the request for accessories and lenses that don't break the bank. I'll certainly keep an eye out for the next installment.

[@RobTrek]

[@YoSpiff]

These are very useful. This is a very complicated camera, which I knew before purchasing. I'm not a beginner, so some of your recommendations don't work for me. For example, I think the highlight/shadow adjust assigned to a function button may be very useful. This series has been a great explanation of a camera with a lot of non intuitive functionality. Thanks.

[@RobTrek]

Thanks! My eyes just aren't good enough to use some of the features in camera. I'll have to give some thought to people who have good eye site might use the camera differently.

[@Flip2theOzz]

First tutorials of using this camera for beginners that actualy are for beginners. Great that you put you time and effort in this, I follow these things vids till the end. What would be something to think about, since you asked for suggestions, is giving people homework. Try to take 6 pics with bad lighting for instance, and try to beat HDR. Just an example, I am sure you can think of better homework yourself since you play with these things. Looking forward to part 4. Thanks a lot!

[@RobTrek]

That's a great idea. Thanks! I was thinking maybe a livestream for beginners where I could answer questions in real time.

[@davidforrest7427]

Brilliant videos. Thanks !!!

[@RobTrek]

Thanks!

[@davidforrest7427]

No problem Rob, I have got a quick question if that’s ok? Just picked up the E-M10 mk2 and it’s my first real camera. I notice that there is a constant humming from the camera like a very quiet fan. Is this normal? Also the battery life seems quite short. Trying to follow along to your vids and the battery drained quite quickly. Guess it’s because the live view screen on all the time when playing with settings?

[@RobTrek]

@@davidforrest7427 Hi. The humming is the sensor image stabilization and is normal. It is always on, even if you turn stabilization off. It has to stay on to hold the sensor in a static position. Battery life will drain with live view on constantly, especially if following along. You'd be lucky to get 1 hour on an Olympus original battery. When out taking pictures there are some techniques to extend battery life, but generally you should get 2 hours of shooting done, so carry spares.

[@davidforrest7427]

Perfect. Thanks again for advice. Love your channel.

[@kenb6102]

Another excellent video Rob! I would subscribe twice if I could.

[@RobTrek]

Thanks!

[@HenryFalkner]

Thanks for confirming HDR shuts out shutter delay. Exposure compensation was already available in my C-2500L and D-400 ZOOM, but buried in the menu then in 2000. In the film days it was called 'varying shutter speed and/or aperture'. On the pocket zooms I reduce EV(variation) to bring back color saturation, since the long zoom lenses get internal flare. The short zoom kit lenses on the E-M10 versions just about do away with the flare, hence EV=0 has proved safe for me so far. Less flare also allows me to retrieve both highlight and shadow detail in PP on the E-M10, which I cannot get back on the pocket zooms SH-1 and SH-2.

[@RobTrek]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Understanding the causes to quality issues is the key to finding the solution. Sometimes it's a limitation of the gear and you have no choice but to upgrade.

[@HenryFalkner]

As to upgrading - the E-M10 Mark II 2 lens kit is gains on the swings and losses on the round-abouts, compared to my remaining pocket zooms SH-50 and SH-1. I need the full range from 28 mm to 600 mm in cruise ship arrival- and departure videos - at what point do I change the lens? Right now the 14-150 lens is out of my reach. Thanks for telling me how to activate the digital zoom. I had not scrolled through all the Fn3 options.

[@RobTrek]

Hi. Do you have the E-M10 Mark I? If so, you're best bet is to get the 75-300mm which is at 150-600 equivalent. I'm not aware of any lens that covers 28-600. Check this website for lens choices www.four-thirds.org/en/microft/lense.html

[@janm2473]

So Rob......... I was really having trbl finding the histogram and getting that clear and concise reading as your live view. Anyways, I switched that back button ... the AEL/AFL and tada! Got it now. Even wrote to Peter Forsgard. You guys will just presume, I'm certain, that this is all so new to me. BTW, have you done a vid on that nasty button??? I seem to remember that you may have.

[@zenobibonsai]

1:52 i would use a fill in flash for this example in fairness but i get what your saying about Exposure Compensation. This really would depend on the background light conditions - Would Exposure Compensation completely blow out the white background??... I think it would.

[@jackshaw7570]

Rob. Can't tell you how pleased I am to have discovered your tutorials. As an old dog trying for the first time to learn new tricks these have been very helpful. On the exposure compensation video the aperture is set at 1.7. So I either missed the change in lens from the kit lens that came with my camera, 14-42mm 3.5-5.6 or I missed the instruction on how to get the aperture that open. I suspect that you are using a different lens but wanted to check.

[@RobTrek]

Yes. My kit lens broke, so used a 25mm f/1.7. I picked up a new kit lens today!

[@RobTrek]

I will try and do some traveling this summer. I'm not really a wildlife photographer but sunsets are always on the list. I haven't really done any videos about what I bring with me. Funny you should mention it though, I did a vlog yesterday where I talked about it. I'm not uploading that one since I was kind of all over the place and it would have been confusing what I was talking about to begin with.

[@Techn0magier]

I got my hand on a Mark III this Black Friday and I'm surprised how relevant this tutorial still is. Just a few things can't be adapted, like the programming of the Fn buttons. They are far more limited on a Mk III, when it comes to their options. For example, you can't choose HDR, and the Quickmenu is now fixed on the former Fn3. There is no Fn3 on the Mk III. Nonetheless a very good tutorial series for a photography newb like me.

I'm very tankful for yours videos with your excellent and well understandable explanations. Have you any suggestions settings for beginners for a Wildlife Safari ? Thank you Rob.

[@RobTrek]

Hi. I replied to your email.

[@RobTrek]

I think for your safari, you will use your 75-300 more. the 12-100 is too short to capture animals at a great distance. As for the light changing, use the same exposure settings as in the beginner video part 1, and the focus settings used in the birds in flight. Aperture priority, lens wide open at lowest f/stop. Group focus 9 points, C-AF, face detect off, Release "Off", Shutter speed on continuous Low anti-shock, auto-iso 25600-200, and center weighted metering. For fast moving animals, try panning. You may also want to switch to shutter priority, with 1/1000sec shutter speed. Birds stick with 1/2000th. Hope that helps.

Saludos.

Estoy usando el traductor de google. La EM5-II es la cámara superior. Sin embargo, me gusta más la pantalla en el em10-ii para la fotografía. Recomiendo el em10-ii no el em10-iii. El em5-ii tiene un modo de alta resolución y un sellado del clima, por lo que creo que el em5-ii es la mejor opción.

@@RobTrek Gracias Rob por tu respuesta. ¿ por que recomiendas la m10-II que la m10-III? la m10-III lleva sensor mejorado ¿ no será mejor que la m10 II?

[@RobTrek]

No creo que el sensor sea mejor. Se eliminaron algunas características de la marca iii. El que echo de menos es la configuración personalizada. Hay algunas otras cosas que no puedo recordar, pero simplificaron la marca iii. A menos que necesite un video 4k, ahorraría algo de dinero y obtendría la marca ii.

Thank you for your videos.Very informative.Does hdr work with long exposure? Would greatly appreciate your reply.Ps.Love my mark two recently purchased.

[@RobTrek]

Thanks. I haven't tried the HDR1 or HDR2 at night, but you can bracket shots and merge them later. I have a video where I did that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4qTpXR5ariDrpI

Please continue to make beginner videos !

[@RobTrek]

More coming soon! Thanks.

Thanks Rob, Is there any way to use exposure compensation in manual mode? I am using em5 ii, it works on s and a but not in manual

[@RobTrek]

Hi, So Ra. I'm so sorry for the late reply. I made a video on this recently here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZyyeXyqibyLqq8

Hi Bob! Thanks for your videos Bob, i noticed that when I'm in A mode i can not control the exposure, it only appear the A and the speed, if i want to change the exposure i need to change to another setting (M,, P, S) how can i add that to my A mode? Thanks

[@RobTrek]

Go into Menu "B Button/Dial" --> Dial Function --> A . Then assign the front dial to FNo. and the rear dial to +/-.

I really like your videos. I've been watching them for a few months now. I like being able to set the Myset settings. But I have a question. Is there any way​ to save the Mysets to the SD card or maybe back them up to a computer?

[@RobTrek]

I have to find my usb cable, but some models from olympus let you save the mysets to your computer via their update software.

Hi- nice video. Do you use any screen protector for the OMD EM ii LCD?

[@RobTrek]

No screen protector, but thinking about getting one.

[@CraigCasterline]

I use one and the screen seems just as responsive as it was without it. So, I definitely suggest it.

[@kennynvake4hve584]

So in the camera what is being adjusted?? is the sensitivity of the sensor being changed...like the ISO would do? or is the shutter speed changing?

[@RobTrek]

Depends on what mode you're in and if autoiso is on. So if "A" mode, shutter speed is adjusted, in "S" mode aperture is adjusted, and if autoiso is on, some combination.

[@kennynvake4hve584]

@@RobTrek So is the camera going beyond what you can do manually, or is it the same as you can do?...What I mean is..if you set all your settings to the best you can...and then use EB, will it go beyond the setting you can do manually? I mean can, using EB force the camera to do more than you can set manually?

[@RobTrek]

Not at all. The limits of the camera remain the same. It's simply a convenience tool.

@@RobTrek I am just now after using my Sony A57 for a week..seeing why the Olympus would have been a wiser choice...and the choice is...variety....or more specific...the different choice's you have for different type of photos or options I meant to say...And you made me see the difference..dont get me wrong..the Sony is a very, very nice camera..but it sticks to the DSLR rules for the minimum set of standards, and requires alot more manual ways to get the photos your camera has built in...

@@RobTrek If you want to do special, or in my words, cool things, then the Olympus is the one to get..The Panasonic FZ70 does a few things your Olympus does, but not all that you have to chose from...It all about the fun I know..but it does help to play around with the settings and enjoy your camera once in a while..right?????

[@prasathvishnu]

I purchased pen E-PL8. i still find it relevant. Is there anything major irrelevant with this series?

[@RobTrek]

It's a great camera! Nothing major wrong with this camera. Little things missing in video like 4k and 24p, but photos are fantastic.

[@prasathvishnu]

@@RobTrek great. I m finding your series very very useful so far. Thank you so much
