Thank you Rob for a fantastic tutorial. The dark cloud of frustration following me with settings issues has cleared.

Thanks Rob, I was struggling to work out how to get it so that my menu came up when I pressed the menu button, this was a great help.

These are great videos Rob, a week ago I made the switch from full frame canon to the Om 1 and have found your videos invaluable, please don’t stop

[stephanmanfre]

Thanks, Rob, for all your great tutorials that have helped me more than once! And many thanks for putting efforts into a specific issue I raised.

Rob This is a terrific tutorial. It is easy to follow and I was able to get up and running with my OM1

Great video Rob, It`s complicated stuff these storage options. Using the phone as extra option is a good thing. :-)

Thanks for a great video. That made it so much easier to understand the possibilities of my new OM-1

You can set the camera to always open in My Menu when you press the Menu button. Operations > Menu
cursor Settings.

Excellent!!!.... Once again you offer innovative thought about how to best use my camera.... Much appreciated :-)

Hi for the c1 to c4 settings you can assign seperate f stop etc if you select hold in the menu

[ScubaHockeyDoc]

Can the same custom settings be sent from the app to more than one camera body? Love all of your work. Thanks

[Swaggerlot]

You can also save and share those settings. I downloaded bird settings from another user, fine tuned and saved those.

Hey Rob one more question. How do you turn on the OM-1 high speed flash sync? Will it work with a godox 300 off camera using the pro trigger? I saw one of your videos that was older and I have looked at the manual and I'm still lost

[alandimery]

Thank you for another great video. Have you made an in-depth video on the pre-burst feature of the OM-1 . If you haven't would it be possible for to do this please?

[stevepersighetti]

Great video, many thanks Rob. Customs modes have long been a mystery to me! Is there any chance you could make a short video on assigning functions to the lever please eg S-AF and C-AF modes or Bird Detect on and off. Many thanks.

I can’t seem to find anything in the Menus mentioning the setting for recording in Flat format, Log400 etc. Can you please advise? Thanks.

[wildcat]

Great video Rob. Is there any way of renaming the C1 C2 C3 C4 to something relevant to what you have set up, like Reg Photog, BIF, Stack etc ? Thanks

[popiemac]

Great video as all of yours are. You’ve helped me so much. I’m a bit confused on AF Target Mode for birds in flight (C2). You recommend setting it to “all” vs “cross”? Thank you

[stephanmanfre]

Brilliant instruction. However, I face the following issue: I own two OM-1, and I set custom settings in my first camera. I have saved these to Ol.Share on my iPhone. When I import these into the second camera, quite a few settings are not saved (incl. apperture, shutter speed, focus mode). Anyone else facing this issue, or having any solution?
