The video was very helpful, finally I found someone that could help me with all the menus. Thank you

[MrWozzafive]

Thanks Peter for your prompt feedback. My problem was fixed by changing the info settings as you suggested. Thanks again and have a great day.
Regards Warren from down under in Australia

Peter, thank you so very, very much for getting back to me. I have been trying to do this for ever. Your advise was spot on. Thank you for all you do.

[tintinje]

Thank you so much. Your settings helps me a lot to configure my new EM1II

I purchased the MK2 this week. Thank you for this videos

Firmware 3.0 has introduced new menu items. If you are going to redo this vid, please either do a split screen with one side showing the settings you are working with, or less FaceTime of you and more of the settings itself. This would eliminate the need to pause so much to figure out how to navigate to the menu item at hand. Thanks for your creative efforts!

This is the most perfect time to find this video!! I just got an EM1ii so I WILL be using some of these settings on my month-long backpacking trip in 2 weeks!! Thanks for sharing Peter!!!

[alanplatt]

I've set my EM1 Mkii up to your recommendations, saved in C1. Hunting through the menu for me is mostly trial & error. The settings seem like a fantastic starting point for good exposure. Nice one, thanks.

Paljon kiitoksia for those useful explanations! It’s the first time that I comment one of your videos, therefore let me thank you for all you already did and encourage you to continue the same way. Your videos are clear, precise and well documented!
Best regards ranskasta 😉

[ulrichsamosii]

Thanks for this video I get my OMD EM1 MKII tomorrow looking forward to the change. I am switching over from the Nikon DSLR system.

[smkunder]

Always enjoy your explanations, keep up with your outstanding videos!

I am so lusting after the em 1 Mark 2 after buying the em 5 Mark 2. Olympus has me hooked.

[LaurenceRoach]

Thanks for the video because I am old so I had to go back to your original em 1 presentation to get all of the settings. It was the first one of yours that I watched and got me hooked.

[aoifegray]

This was so helpful! Just got my new camera today and I’m loving all the tips!

[dianenavara]

So pleased to have found this. Want to be able to take wildlife images that have underexposed background without resorting to flash. This visualisation of underexposure is going to help without doubt. Love the Olympus Mk2 but there is so much to learn. Thank you Peter, its not the first time I've found something of yours helpful and I'm sure it wont be the last!

Спасибо за видеоурок, я хоть и не знаю английский но все равно смог настроить как у вас !

Hi Peter, today I visited the Photo Days in Brussels and decided to upgrade from the OMD EM 10 MII to the EM1 MII. I even had a nice talk with a Japanese employee from Olympus who knows you in person. I told him that I’m a fan of your channel :-)
This video was very useful again. I use almost all these settings on my EM 10 but the menu system is different, so thanks again.

[wojciechziokowski]

Thanks Peter! I just get my new em1m2, you help me so much with set up. Greets

[tonycostanzo]

Very useful and relevant video. Thanks Peter, I look forward to your regular posts. Your comment on the noise reduction was very helpful as I find it quite annoying especially when I tend to shoot a lot of long exposures. I was never sure if the dark field subtraction at the cost of doubling the time to take the shot was any better than addressing noise in post production. Cheers. Gino

[davebellamy]

Right. Gonna try these on the EM5 Mk iii that's nearly the same spec.
