A great video. I especially like the tip about multiple exposures!

[michaelmclean]

Thanks Peter. Learned something new as always.

[ixoye]

Thanks Peter, can't wait to test your tips on my brand new Pen-F.

[meredithpottery]

Thanks so much! The multiple exposure tip and the info tip are new to me.

[LargeHounds]

Didn't know about the WiFi short cut. Thanks

[Rafaga]

Thanks for the tips. Always useful especially the tip about the multiple exposure. I surely will give it a try...

A good list of features!
Regarding #4, If you have any of the PRO line lenses and use the clutch, this might not be very helpful advice. On them, the clutched focusing direction can not be changed. If you were to change the non-clutched direction it would be in the reverse when you clutch it, so extremely confusing. So for those either using the clutch or considering to get PRO lenses, it might be good to mention this aspect as something to be aware of.

Hi Peter, have you done a video on focus stacking and using the new FL900 flash? That would be interesting.

[terryhutchinson]

Thanks Peter, another excellent video. Just one thing, there is (or was) a bug in the firmware on the EM10 Mark 2 so that changing the focus ring direction in the settings stopped the AF point trackpad working (no, I can't see the logic in that either) but there you go, worth bearing in mind?

Sony just announcing the 47 MP MFT sensor has me excited to see what the EM1.3 will be using. The new EM5.3 with rumored AF upgrade also has me very interested

[arthurmarek]

Thank you...The wifi tip will save me time, why did I never think of it?

[RobShootPhotos]

Off subject a bit, how soon does a visionary or ambassador get a pre-production copy of a camera or lens? I would imagine that some have already got the E-M5, maybe even for awhile.

Hi Peter, good video. I like OI share for remote functions, but the Geotagging is not intuitive. After connecting, the camera essentially stays locked up with the 2d barcode showing up on the LCD. A repeat of your Geotagging expanded for when you are trying to use both functions would be helpful.

[davidblack]

Thanks for the tips. I didn't know about top 3.

[royduk]

Hi Peter thanks for the excellent tips once again.If I set the camera to take fewer shots in sequential, will it autofocus quicker/better?

[RobShootPhotos]

I love the share feature and the remote live mode. I've used the remote mode for a bird's nest so I didn't interrupt them by me being to close. They didn't mind the camera. Rob Trek had an idea of Bluetooth connection for the new E-M5 so you can automatically receive images to your phone and instantly share and/or back then up on the cloud. It would probably drain the battery quick but I don't have a problem switching or getting a battery grip. That would be a great feature.

[datachamp]

I didn't realise OI Share now changes WiFi selection for you - thanks. The pain of connecting puts me off using OI Share but it's now reduced. Shame Olympus don't offer bluetooth like Panasonic - perhaps in the EM5MkIII?

Hi Peter, I am really enjoying your videos and learning so much, thank you for taking so much time to share your knowledge and experience with photography and Olympus. I am currently a Canon FF shooter, but have been inspired by the Micro 4/3 format due to the size, weight and the features on offer. I currently have an EM-1 II, plus 7-14mm Pro, 12-40mm Pro and 12-100mm Pro lenses for four days under the Olympus Test and Wow scheme. You are answering so my many of my questions, but I have one I cannot find an answer to. Coming from a DLSR with an OVF, I am used to seeing a very sharp image, adjusted to my eye using the diopter, in the OVF. With the Olympus I cannot get a sharp image in the EVF, even with carefully adjusting the diopter. Am I missing something or is this typical of mirrorless cameras / Olympus? I thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer. Many thanks again Mike.
