Anytime you use focus peaking on an OM-D, regardless if it is auto-triggered when you do manual focus, or after triggering it with a button, as long as it is active, if you press the info button, a pop up menu allows you to change all the params whilst in live view so you easily can choose something that works for the current scene. It is not mentioned in the manual, and any time I have seen a youtube tutorial talk about focus peeking, they always go deep into the menus to adjust peeking. I find this ridiculously silly since it is much more meaningful to do it in live view so that you can actually see how it will work with your current scene.

Excellent tips. I love the OK button for accessing the Super Control Panel, but I had no idea that a long press would "zero out" all those adjustments. That's awesome! Thank you, Robin.

Robin, I have to echo what Rich D. said below. I'm a newcomer to Olympus digital and the MFT system, having just a Pen-F and several lenses at this time. I'm a 50+ year Nikon shooter and, always will be but, my evolving MFT kit is my 'personal' photography/travel kit. I have watched many of your videos as we sit out the pandemic and they are, without question, the best Olympus education videos. Thank you!

Hi Robin. I just wanted to say thank for the terrific videos . I am Olympus camera user and I personally have learned so very much. Bill from Palm Coast, Florida.

I was a Nikon shooter and I am so comfortable with nikon's OK button bring focus point to the center feature, I have been using OMD-EM1MKII for couple of months and the only thing which I couldn't live well with this fantastic camera is there is no quick way to bring the focus point back, after this video i think I am saved, thank you Robin!

In playback, there are two other features I found by playing around.
1 pressing info moves you to the next view mode. Keeping info pressed and turning one of the dials, will allow you to scroll both forwards and backward between viewing modes, so if you have enabled a lot of modes, info, and back turn is a lot quicker than repeatedly hitting info until you get back to the previous mode.

2. When you are zoomed in the arrows only moves the zoom sector, the info button lets you choose by three different modes A) move the zoomed area B) toggle between photos, if you have taken multiple shots with the same composition, you can quickly find the one that has the best exposure on the zoomed-in area C) temp zoom out so that you get an overview whilst you move your zoom window

Pressing and holding the OK button also works to return the magnifying rectangle to the center point! Thanks for these (hidden) tips, Robin!

[CVCC]

love the OK button tip. Unfortunately the quick zoom, tip 2 was not available on the EM-5 ii. Keep em coming!

[pretavol]

Thanks, Robin, for more great tips. I didn't know about the 'OK' button reset or the C-AF issue. I couldn't even find the C-AF information in the manual!

[schmoddd]

Best Olympus related content on Youtube. Thanks Robin.

[OniMirage]

Happy to say the only one I didn't not know about was the zoom option

[CantiloupeIsland]

Thank you! Extremely useful... I've used Olympus omd for three years and today I've learned something new and relavent.

[bigpete]

[ChasingGiants]

AMAZING VIDEO DUDE. WELL DONE. Tks so much. I'm loving so many of your OMD vids. they rock!

[BatuHijau]

Another fantastic video Robin. Thanks so much.

[nlanca]

Excellent stuff again Robin. I've been using Olympus for 10 years plus and never knew about the OK button tips. Been re-assigning the red button to reset the focus point for years...

[jimwallar]

Great tips - thanks much. I do a lot of woodland an waterfall photography so the highlight and shadow controls will help a lot.
