Just found your channel, I have had my em5mii for 6month now and love it, after watching this video, I love it more and you have made my life (and job) so much easier. Thanks :)

[druggero]

Great videos. I've learned a lot about my EM5 M2. Thank you for all you do!

[dm]

I wish you'd spent the entire video offering suggestions for EM5 M2 settings rather than wasting my time until 3:28.

[jeroen]

Awesome video! Thanks, I have the E-M5mII now for a year or so, but this advice from the pro makes live just a little bit easier.

[DivisionStreetDrums]

Thank You Peter, I just purchased a em5 Mkii, was going to purchase the Pen F but I have owned the OMD series and wanted the waterproof and flip screen and mic jack.

[MontrencoPerez]

To skip the long introduction go to time 3:26

[MikaTarkela]

I just ordered this one, can't wait to start learning and taking photos! :)

[dagoncalves]

Hi Peter, I'm about to buy an E-M5 II myself... do you think that the AF will be fast enough for surf photography..
My previous camera was a Sony a6000. How would the AF compare?
Thanks

[philipport]

I'm following your video for initial camera settings, but under Custom Menu, am unable to scroll past EXP/ISO to change items H and G to follow your instructions - Am I missing a step as they are not "live"
Thanks Philip ..Markham, Ontario Canada

[marklawson]

Thanks Peter for the heads up, would the same settings work on the EPL-8 ?

[Dinooxymoron]

love your content! I have this camera and would like to know which settings would be best for Vlogging? Thank you.

[jacksonbrown]

Great tips, and video!
My om 5mkii flip screen just spotted working 😔

[shabuj]

Good Day. Would you please let me know, is this camera support zebra in video?

[BabsiGoesVintageENG]

I have this camera but hate filming with because there’s a lot of noise on the audio 😭 do you know why? I’ve tried to turn down the in camera mic but it’s still noisy . Please help if you have any tips

[benedictives]

Have you ever addressed the "please check the status of a lens" message on OMDEMm5II? Please advise if any of your videos do.

[iantroughton]

Peter, when switching on my EM5ii the display lcd switches off almost immediately and I need to keep half pressing the shutter button to keep the display on. I’ve tried setting times in the menus but nothing I’ve done will keep the display open. Any help gratefully received.
Thanks for your videos I’ve learned a huge amount from you. Ian

[studiocomes]

many thanks for your videos. I am a dentist and would like to use an Olympus - 60mm f / 2.8 ED Macro lens with STF-8 flash exclusively for work. Could this body be fine as it is the cheapest to have focus stacking function? otherwise which Olympus camera body would you recommend?

[kennynvakehve]

didnt you say it was not going to be a mark iii at 2:25 in the video.?

[WorkshopatTheGardens]

Thanks for the video... it's appreciated.

Hei, minulla on Olympus OM-D E-M5 ii ensimmäisenä peilittömänä kamerana. Kamera näyttää kuvan oton jälkeen kuvan silmä etsimessä. Onko tämä ominaisuus mahdollista saada pois päältä? Tuntuu että ominaisuus hidastaa seuraavan kuvan ottamista ja tarkentamista kun etsin on hetken pimeänä.
