Just bought an M10 IV so this is very helpful. My first 'proper' camera since my Zenit-E in the 70's...

[foteeto]

Amazing tutorial! I just bought one and this is so helpful. Thanks!

They should store custom settings in the smartphone app if not the camera. Think outside the box Olympus!

[nikspuri]

Cheers mate
Love your video
Helpful one 🙌🏼

[ERIKLI]

Many, many thanks!
which is quite remarkable😀

[MichaelGerrard]

Not having custom sets is very strange. Even my LX5 from 2010 has custom sets. Maybe Olympus can add them in a firmware upgrade? They should.

[kusy]

Beep is the first thing I turn off on a new camera.

[pizzasaurolophus]

can you add ISO adjustments directly on a dial?

Is it possible to use exposure compensation in manual mode+auto-ISO?

[steventhomas]

I think the lack of my set is a big oversight as well. Not everyone using a small camera is a begginer. Im also disappointed with the lack of firmware updates for this camera. I was hoping they would add the small af point again like in the mark 2.

What is a nice travel camera (system) not from Olympus per se with auto focus bracketing too ! The big disadvantage of Olympus which HAS to support to auto focus bracketing / stacking which are REALLY expensive and quite rare to find.

[karlhartwig]

Great video! I just purchased this camera and I can't seem to get to the super control screen. Sorry, I'm an old 35mm guy and all this technology is kinda' making my head spin. Thanks

[timnelson]

Thanks Peter for all the content. Would love to see you using this new favorite setup of yours in some more street photography (E-M10 mk IV & 12-45 F4 pro). I agree it is a great combo.

[jonassodemann]

Thank you for your thorough walkthrough of the menus. For new users like me it can seem a bit overwhelming to setup the camera. Will for sure follow you for further tips on the Olympus OM-D E-M10 MK IV.

[hirschle]

Thank you very, very much Peter, 👍🏻👍🏻🤩… I can‘t find the raw video you talk about 🙈🙈

[robertolotti]

Hello Peter, many many thanks for this useful video! If possible, a couple of questions:
- at today (may 2024), any new firmware update for the em10 mark4 which adds the “Mysets” option to store the favourite camera settings?…
- I like to shoot mainly black and white, could you please suggest me how to set both the evf and display so that I look at the scene I want to capture always in b&w? Also, is there in the camera a dedicated b & w mode or a setting that I can tweak for this purpose?
Thanks a lot in advance!

[somethingontheroad]

Hi Peter, thank you for your thorough walk-through. I just updated from the EM10 Mark 1 to the Mark IV and I am missing the settings for Makro. Can you help out? Thanks!

[zipperboy]

I just purchased this camera with12-42 lens. What lens should I up grade?

[freddyBeatrijs]

I am very pleased to hear that you mention "My settings" as a shortcoming in the new MARK IV. I hope that OLYMPUS will follow up on your comment. This is preventing me from switching cameras. Greetings from Belgium.

[VeronaChadwick]

Hi Peter, I have upgraded from the Olympus TG6 to the OM-D E-M10 Mark IV. With the TG6 I could pre set the focus to follow a subject on video by half depressing the shutter button to focus, hold the focus and press OK at the same time, then the focus holds when you press the video start button. The camera will then maintain focus on a moving target as long as the focal distance does not change. I have looked through the manual for the OM-D E-M10 Mark IV and do not see that option. Is there a way to pre set focus to shoot video?

[jadenjohnson]

I just got this camera and the picture mode setting you tell us to choose from in the beginning is greyed out and not available for me to select. any reason why?
