On my E-M10 IV I've remapped the 2x digital zoom button to "magnify", and the record button to focus peeking. Combining the two let's me focus quite accurately with a quick press from my index finger. Since I only shoot photos and do digital zoom in post, these buttons are perfect candidates for remapping, and I like how the button icons still roughly match their new functions.

A really useful video, and yes please re more editing tips. Many thanks

[celestewalz]

Great tips. Thank you. I would appreciate more image editing tips/workflows. I'm always looking out for new ways to edit.

[JoseRamirez-cdge]

Fantastic Video Peter Congrats! More like this are very helpful.

[scottweatbrook]

I love image editing tips...please add more.

[squiddt]

Thank you, Peter. There is no MY SET in EM10 III. The mode setting is a great idea for MY SET setting. Now only if we can name each of My Set. I tend to forget what each does! May be that can be done in a future upgrade. I enjoy your videos.

[LarryFasnacht]

I think the image editing tips are fine. Thank you.

Yes, Peter, throw in an image editing tip more frequently. Regardless of which editing software one uses, the concept being explained (or “tipped”) can likely be applied.

Focus stacking in camera warning. If you get an in camera warning that your lens isn't compatible with focus stacking what should you do?
Basically the warning means that the camera will not do in camera focus stacking.
Instead it will produce a series of individual photographs all with a slightly different focus point. You can then use these photographs in photo editing software like Affinity Photo (possibly Photoshop but I don't use it) to perform an automatic stack within the application.
It works well with non Pro lenses, even the 75-300mm at 300mm, so a non pro lens at its weakest focal length can be helped.

OMG, just crazy thing. Always learn something new. Thanks for tip about stabilizing, I didn't know about that. About editing, I use only Darktable (plus GIMP sometimes) because I am fan of free and open source software and I prefer it, if it's possible. It's not bad choice. Darktable manages masks many years.

[richardpriestley]

Good tips and the idea about more editing tips is welcome, but please identify the version of software concerned

[lynferris]

Love some lightroom tips in future please

[sstansmf]

Thanks Peter! I use Ev bracketing with H-series and merge HDR 16-bit RAW file in Lr. Significantly improves colors and reduces noise almost to zero. This produces much better result than in-camera HDR.

[roberthanks]

Peter, please add more video editing tips. I really enjoy your video's about Olympus camera's and image editing tips would be very helpful.

[davidcoote]

Very useful. I’ve just re-assigned the top little button on the front to magnify. That will be useful. 👍😎

[LeoSavantt]

More software tips please, indeed any tips are welcome.
