Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II - [Best Settings]

I’m sorry, what? Try to ignore the ignorant trolls. Your English is fantastic. Thank you for the very informative and helpful videos and for taking the time to put everything together for us.

Thanks Peter. Don’t worry about those commenting on your English. As an English teacher I can tell you that, yes, you do make the odd grammatical ‘error’ here and there. However, there are far more non-native English speakers, than native. So who does English belong to? Nobody. It is, and always has been an evolving language. The most important thing is communication, and your's is crystal clear. It’s great that you want to improve, but don’t worry about those people who nitpick on a channel with excellent free advice. You owe us nothing!
All the best.

Your English is great! Be who you are.

Couldn't care less about ironed shirts sir. Great job on consistently well though out and useful content

Hey Peter,
I live in the U.S. and I can assure you that your use of english far exceeds many of my fellow citizen’s abilities to express themselves. Particularly when it comes to a solid and knowledgeable vocabulary.
The most important thing is this - thank you so very much for your informative and educational videos. I’m new to digital photography and was feeling quite lost until your work popped up on RUclips.
Please continue your excellent work and try to ignore the hurtful morons who seek only to spoil everyone’s party.
Keep being you!

I have some Finnish friends and your accent reminds me of them! Never change that.

Three years later and I'm still grateful for your content. You make great videos with a lot of detailed information. Your English is excellent and not distracting at all. Thank you for this video and your dedication to teaching and informing viewers.

Don’t let people like that bring you down, you make great videos and what makes you happy is whats important!

Videos, English, dress, and information are absolutely perfect. I applaud the 10 minute or so segments so that information overload does not occur.

Good lord---your English is truly excellent. And your tips are very helpful. Thank you for all these videos.

3:35 I've also got LSF on my EM10 mark iis. Super Fine. Not sure if it was in the original firmware but I've got it. Selectable from Menu -> cogs -> G -> funny little diamond symbol with pixels at the right of it... 'Set.' -> Gives you the 4 resolution options to edit.
Underneath that, you can also define what the M and S resolutions are to be in 'pixel count'.
Then in the shotting menu, the LSF optiin comes up. Also on the super comtrol panel or screen or any otjer way you select it. You can then have LSF, LF, LN and MSF for instance and any of those plus RAW or just RAW on its own.

Don't worry about your English (it's fine), and don't worry about your clothes, Peter; those who watch your videos do so for the great work and commentary you provide us with, and the tips and information you share. I've just recently purchased the OMD-EM10 ii, and have found your videos most helpful in helping me navigate through the extensive menus that Olympus provides with even this "entry level" camera. I was an OM user back in the 70's and '80's and loved using Olympus gear; it was and is so compact and easy to use and carry around, so encouraged me to shoot photos. Lost the time and desire to shoot in the late 90's and the early 2000's, but got interested in the Micro four thirds systems by seeing an ad for this camera at a great price.So I bought one and found that there's a whole new world of photography just waiting in the digital world, and I have rediscovered my love for photography. Thank you for helping an old hand get a new lease on photographic life with your great videos and channel. Keep up the great work!!!

I've used my em10ii for 4+years. I'm shocked that there are still some features I have never used before. Big thanks!

I'm interested in content not dress code or perfect English. Your channel is great. Thanks! Tak?

I got my OMD EM10 Mkii today for £200, it was an ex demo and since I don’t know much about photography I thought this would be a decent starter camera, since I won’t be able to justify the £200 price difference (new) with my amateur photos
Thank you for your videos about the camera and your English is impeccable.

Your English is on-par with native speakers and your accent is quite pleasant, it’s not often you hear English with Finnish undertones. As for the outfits, if someone is paying more attention to your clothes than the superb lessons you give, they’re probably the same people who “upgrade” cameras to get a better picture. Don’t sweat them because you, sir, are doing a wonderful job. I’ve just found your channel because I have always used Nikon DSLRs but I needed something extremely lightweight to take on my hikes and I ended up with the E-M10 Mk2. It is absolutely beautiful and I think I mainly fell for it because my dad had an Olympus film camera that looked just like it but after watching your videos and playing with it, I absolutely LOVE this little bugger. Thank you for doing what you do!

I second the other comments - I have no issues with your English or the condition of your shirts. Two of your videos about settings for the Olympus M10 Mark 2 have been invaluable to me as a new owner. Keep up the great work.

Peter. I'm purchasing a oem 10 mk 2 and you videos have helped me immensely with this choice...thank you

That’s crazy that anyone would care about dress code. I’m just happy that you make these videos. I just bought a OM-D EM-10 MK2 and I am happy to have someone walk me through good advice to use my new camera! Pay no attention to those that complain about petty things.

Hi Peter, still watching your videos in 2021 and they are so helpful to get the most of my camera! Thanks so much

I have recently purchased a Olympus mark 3 and came across your channel today. Can't wait to watch your videos! I'm a beginner photographer

Dear Peter,
I'm Mexican and English is not my native language. I can understand every single word you say. Your English is perfect!
On the other hand, I'm a Canon user but bought a cheap second hand OM-D E-M10 Mark II because size is so appealing and I'm trying to learn more about that camera and the whole MFT system. Sadly, every single picture I take with the camera is blurry and shaky. So I do have bad settings or a defective camera (or lens) which I doubt. I'm not a pro just a hobbyist and I am not a good photographer but I'm not that bad to have all blurry images so I need to figure out how to make out the best of my camera and your videos are key to achieve that. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Most helpful and informative video I’ve found on this camera (along with your others of course) I think your English is very good! If anyone says anything about your English, just ask them how well their Finnish is. Americans judge people if they don’t speak English perfectly, but most of us don’t even know a second language.

Nonsense trolls ? Forget them.. i have a omd em10 ii and i am still learning new stuff, thank you for that, sir. Keep up!

Thank you so much Peter for the valuable info, i have this camera for a long time yet i didnt know about most of these settings you explained.

Your awesome dude! I’m a newbie and I have learned so much from your videos. Keep it up please. I’m from Texas and find your speech very easy to understand and quite entertaining in fact.

Thank you so much. I switched to Olympus from Nikon and was beginning to wish I hadn’t. A different animal altogether. Your information and the way you have shown it, was very clear and concise, and what is more important, understandable.

Yes you vídeos have a lot of values thanks to share your knowledge

I’m an Australian and our native language is English. There is a vast difference between British and American English. Nothing wrong with your interpretation … and I would suspect that the knockers have as much ability with Finnish as I do, none. Dress code here is pretty laid back, no problems with that either. Good presentation.

Awesome video peter ! Thanks so much. Your English is great and I love your cardigan. All the best from
Australia.

Your content is extremely helpful. Thanks for producing it and keep up the good work!

Awesome Videos man!!!! Authentic actual care and help, you enable others to be better at the art you love. the quality of information and expertise conveyed is above and beyond. Thank you!

Congrats! Your video and your English is very good! 😊 👍

I found the video very helpful, practical , clear and informative . I love the concept of tips to improve the capabilities of both the camera and also me !!

Thanks mate. This is my first time with a micro 4/3 and you are extremely helpful. Cheers!

Thank you Peter for making these very helpful videos .

Thank your videos. I’ve had my olympus omd e-m10ll camera for a while and with your videos I’m learning so much more! You are greatly appreciated for taking the time out to make these.

I'm an photography enthusiast living in Espoo. I dont own an Olympus but I am a HUGE fan of the brand and hope that I might be able to afford it one day. I just want to say: Thank you for the video! It was very interesting and informative. I also learnt a lot about Helsinki! The city is amazing and beautiful. I look forward to more of your videos. Nähdään!

Just discovered your channel by chance and it's great. Just subscribed also. Your English is better than a lot of people born here in the U.S. I wonder how many Americans could learn Finnish.

You are doing great do not worry about speaking English as long we understand ok.

I like all your videos!! Very useful! Thank you,so much!

Hi Peter! Take it from an American living in Finland... your English is excellent (and massively better than my Finnish :))! Ignore the stupid comments (and people). THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge and passion for photography. Your content is fantastic - just subscribed. Happy to buy you a cup of coffee if I ever see you around Helsinki!

There seems to be a glitch around 3:05 - no link to raw settings? Are you going to talk about them as well?

As a small tip, you can set the camera to L SF for JPEGs. Go to setting menu G, and change it in the "Set" submenu. This means you'll have even less compression! :)

Thank you so much for what you do, after watching your videos I’m so much happier with my camera purchase and learning so much from you... Helsinki looks beautiful 😁

Thanks so much..it's really help me...

Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise. Great info. Also, the accent is awesome.

Very helpful video! I’ve owned my mk2 for about a year now and didn’t even know you could change the dial and button functions. Your english is fine btw

Just got a Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II looking forward to implementing your advice, thanks !

Сколько же у тебя тушек,, олимпус,,??? Вижу, что любишь,, Олимпус,,! Молодец!!! Спасибо.

New to Olympus. Great video with lots of information to begin learning my camera gear. Looking forward to putting into practice. Will definitely be checking out more of your content. Thank you for your time!

Love your vids..great job.

Thank you Peter! A lot of good advises this time.

Thank you so much! Very very useful video!

Excellent thanks for the help I’ve been slowly using that feature I have the e-m5 but now I’m on it a lot more thanks sir

A great camera. IBIS is the way to go for video. I keep waiting for the EM10 Mk III to come out. Thanks for the video. It is appreciated.

Loving these videos, I just ordered this camera last night moving up from my 12+ year old digital Rebel.

Thank you very much. This video was very much appreciated and was enlightening to me. I am now looking at my Mark II less fearfully. Thanks again.

Thank you! Great information!

Thanks for your channel and don't worry about your accent, mine is definitely worse. And special thanks for not only talking about photography and technic but also giving some insides about your motives, the location and history. Thats really great content! I hope I'll have the chance to come back to Helsinki sometimes. All the best from Hamburg!

On my EM5 MKII I have also shifted the AF function from the shutter button (half press) to the button on the front used originally for DOF preview.

I have just watched your very well produced video in good English. Everything you said makes good sense. I came across this as I am looking to use an Olympus OMD EM10 Mk 2 as an alternative to my rather heavy E5 four thirds. Great video.

Great vid...and no problem at all with your English!!!!

Thank you for this tutorial. It really helped me.

Love your videos! Super useful!

your English is great and so as your videos :)

Thanks for making this!

thanks alot....its really help me

It's funny, your the second to mention to put the exposure comp dial on the back one. I had been using the front one but realized I am learning backwards and any camera that has a dedicated exposure comp dial is on the back, so I changed that.
For the turn of the dial, when I turn my finger or thumb to the right, it increases the f/stop, faster shutter and brighter exposure. That seems natural to me.

Great video Peter, thank you!

Whenever I leave the front dial for exposure comp, I inadvertently change it too often without realizing it, so I set the depth of field preview button so I have to push it before the dial will work. I don’t mind the two step process.

Your English is great, and your shirts are fine.

Can't believe people considered your English could be better? I'm a Canadian born speaker of what we would call Canadian English and here in Vancouver we hear it all. Your's is only noteworty because it's just fine. I can tell you're thinking in English as well as pronouncing very well. After all I'm sure Finnish was a language before English. LOL>

Thank you kindly sir

Peter, I always enjoy your videos and learn a lot from your experience shooting with Olympus. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge in such a clear and down to earth way!

You suggest setting the JPEG quality to L/F ? Why not set it to the highest quality of L/SF (Super fine) ?

thank you ☺️

Great tips. Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks a lot.Now Your channel is even better, because of text.

Great video and thank you for sharing :)

Some good tips here, I have to check my Pen F (I should have it there too). Auto ISO for manual mode was news to me!

Oh God, we want other video about EM 5 Mark II ♥️

I guess these tips can apply to the Mark III model, hopefully? Thanks!

Thank you for this helpful video. I am not able to find Myset 1 at 8:34.. what menu is it under?

Great video, thanks!

Sir, you helped me a lot. Thank you for that.

Hi Peter. First your English is great, so don't worry about. Second, I had a Canon EOS 1000D that I used for years with just my prime 50mm lens. Ever since I discovered that lens I never took it off. I mainly shoot street photography. Long story short, one day my Canon was full of fungus and I lost the camera. Recently I bought a Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II with the 14-42mm kit lens. Is this a good lens for street photography, or should I invest in a different lens? If so what would you recommend? Thank you for your help.

Nice vids! if i may, i would add some background music to create sort of a background atmosphere

Great video once again Peter but you say these settings are for JPEG can you do a video for RAW settings for the OM-D E-M10 mkII

Good Vlog Peter.

Good travel info.

Great content, you should do a video on lenses, and lens filters for 4/3 cameras

Thanks a lot!!

Thanks much for the video. Your language proficiency is excellent. Congratulations! One small English error in the video. It should be "built", not build. I wish you had given your manual setup since that is what I was most interested. Great video. Thanks again!

Very helpful. I have one question though that I just can't work out. In Manual settings I can not find how to change my iso. When I click ok I can see iso is at 200 and I thought moving the dial would let me change it however it doesn't. Do you know how I can change it? Would be very much appreciated!!

Can you do a video for the setting for action pictures? Example, eagles flying by. PLEASE (mark III)

hello .... is the battery warm when using the Olympus OMD em10 ii. ???? is this an affliction of this model ??? or any defect.

Legend ! That’s all I’ll say to you my friend!

Nice Video and thanks for all this tips !
Some options you show in your video are inaccessible for my e-m10 mark ii, do you know how to unlock them ?
Thank you
