As usual Rob, very helpful and I did pick up a few new tips. I really miss these types of "how to" videos from you, please keep them coming.
Yes, Rob, you need to give us more of these videos instead of the Trekathon livestream sessions several times a week. The summer's on it's way and, with vaccinations, we hope to get out again. More "How To" videos, please 🙏
@@rickbear7249 Yes, I agree with Mr Bear. A chat is one thing but to sit for two hours+ is asking a lot. As a health care professional, I must advise you and your subscribers that too much sitting at the computer is not a good thing. There has been a saying circulating for awhile now, “Sitting is the new smoking”. It is not advisable to plop down for long extended periods of time, the human body is made for moving. So I would encourage everyone to enjoy Rob’s tips and tricks and get out shooting when you can. As always Rob, your content is very much appreciated.
Thanks. Yes, I need to get out more and do more tutorials and vlogs. My body is starting to remind me that sitting too long is not healthy.
@@RobTrek Putting on a little weight too, eh Rob? I noticed your cheeks in the still of the video 😆. Yes, I need to get out and lose a few pounds too. My tummy is definitely bigger.
@@RobTrek Good thinking, stay healthy we want you to be around for a long time.
Wow! Your videos should be recorded in all OMD cameras as a living manual. Thank you for this amazing set of great tricks.
Wow, thanks!
I’m from the days of manual cameras, hand held meters and basement dark rooms. This digital stuff frankly scrambles my brain. You are literally my instruction manual. Thanks for another great tutorial.
Thank you!
What an unexpected gem THIS was!!! Very cool Rob!! I had no clue about all the goodness you showed us here!! THANKS!!!!
Thanks, Dave!
Great video. I love how much can be customised on Oly cameras.
Thanks, Michael!
I am an OLY OMD camera user and I have been all over TH-cam looking for channels that offer tips, hints and tutorials on how to use OLY OMD cameras' and now that I finally found you, I can say without a doubt that your channel has the absolute best, most helpful and comprehensive channel on TH-cam for the best tips and tutorials for the OMD camera users out there. You are truly the best so far!!
Thank you and I am WATCHING you :)
Thanks. I try.
Many thanks for this big step into the deeper knowledge of Olympus button functionality. I've met some unknown ways to features here.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for making some of the more arcane functions a little easier to understand in an intuitive manner. I have loved that press and hold functionality and even though it’s been a J menu item since the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II I rarely mess with the defaults for timing. But I could imagine someone uses gloves often or has a special interest in some function may find 0.7 seconds to hold before it extends the function to be too short or too long. Otherwise it’s a great benefit to keep from diving in to the menu. Before you came along with these great tips we just stumbled around in the dark discovering them by accident. Haha. Keep up the good work Rob.
Thank you so much!
What a gem of a howto video Rob! absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into these unique and superb infomational ( not sure that's a word) videos.
Thanks, Arthur!
Man, you are a genius. Unbelievably clever. 😎
Wow, thanks!
Rob, haven't commented for a while since purchasing my Pen Fs, as usual, this was a really excellent and practical advice giving video
You certainly deserve a larger viewing audience.
Thanks Rob. Interesting and as you mentioned not, not very strong documented. The last 2 points were quite new to me.
Glad I could still show something new!
Rob ..in magnify mode ..you can re-focus again by pushing AF button.... super handy .
Thanks for sharing!
Another very helpful video, Rob! Hilarious ending! Kudos!
Thanks, Jeff!
I so love the fact that Rob doesn't do those abrupt video/audio cuts all the time even when he stutters or makes a mistake or whatever like 99% TH-camrs. He just goes with it and continues speaking organically. Kind of reminds you there are still real people left on the Internet
Thanks! I do make mistakes and do several retakes, but I don't try to make things perfect. My videos are never scripted but I use an outline sometimes to stay on track.
Thank You very much, Rob! Just bought used 5 mark 2 and this was sooooo useful information to me! Just love that camera. Great all weather combo with my 12-40 Pro lens.
Great combo! Thanks.
That's the Rob that attracted me to this channel. Never to late to learn new features. Thanks!
Thanks, Lars. Always good to hear from you.
When I use say "P" I can change the F stop and exposure, but holding the OK button will only change the exposure back to zero, I find the only way to revert to original auto settings is to change mode or turn on/off camera. Wish the camera had a "green" button like my old Pentax cameras. Great videos Rob and I always have a moment to reflect on owning a camera for a few years and you show me I missed something.
I totally forgot about the green button on the Pentax! Best way to revert to previous settings is to program it to C1. Still not a "green" button, but easy enough.
A wonderful deep understanding of direct access to great features and the yard surfing is unparalleled! Always informative. All the best.
Glad you enjoyed it!
When magnify is enabled on the multi function rotate the dial to change the magnification ratios
Thanks!
Thank you Rob, for another great educational video on our wonderful Olympus cameras. A few years ago I bought a used EM-5 MkII and now have 5 Olympus OM-D cameras. I still love the EM-5 MkII, such a wonderfully capable little camera.
Thanks, Don. Agreed, the e-m5ii is awesome!
What a great video Rob. So many permutations. The OMD EM menus must be the most complex of all modern cameras. So well demonstrated and explained. Thanks for your time and effort👍
Thanks, Jeff.
Thanks Rob another great explanation of the various functions Olympus has incorporated in the E-M5 Mk2. Being able to access the functions without having to go step by step through the menu system is so useful.
Thanks!
Very helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great video Rob, thanks.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for introducing me to all the press and hold functions Rob and the end of the video is pretty funny!
Glad to help.
Really useful video Rob
Thank you!
Much appreciated especially the multi function button as I use it as my magnifying button! A new lease of life as all 4 buttons on the em10 II are multifunction even if the choices are limited. It means I can put my record button back in action. Incredible. 👏👏👏
Glad to help!
Thing is I’d been using my em10ii for doorstep photography and wanted to have access to various functions without going into the menus and felt limited by lack of buttons so switched cameras then I saw your video and promptly switched back; check out #twosocksthefox on Instagram. Since New Year’s Day have been using 7artisans 35 f1.2 & 25 f1.8 lenses exclusively on this project. That 35mm is unreal.
Those are some cool shots of that fox!
@@RobTrek Thanks for that Rob. The abundance of wildlife in Central London can put some of the more rural areas to shame. The dawn chorus here can very very loud. For there to be large(ish) wild mammals roaming our London streets is incredible. I’ve seen badgers at Brent Cross, Buzzards & Red & Black Kites regularly fly over Hampstead Heath where I walk my dog daily and a friend has seen muntjac deer there early in the morning. And as for foxes, they’re everywhere and at all times of day and night. To not have an encounter would be most unusual. And the good thing about the foxes is that they keep pests to a minimum hunting rats, mice, snails and slugs.
Taking delivery of a new E-M1 Mk2 tomorrow and what can I say but Wow-thanks for this video. Finding all these features would be virtually impossible without you.
Why the Mk2 now? you might ask. Well it's because the price is right and it will be my first really professional and thoroughly weather-resistant camera. It will complement my E-M10 very nicely and I will probably be selling my Panasonic G6 and G7.
The body price is now down to UK£620 or US$864 including taxes. That is about a third of its original price.
Congrats on your new awesome camera!
@@RobTrek
It arrived this morning and I've been fiddling with it and setting some of the functions to mimic my E-M10, for simplicity and convenience, off and on since. Brand new but built in September 2019. Delivered with Firmare 3.0 and updated by me this morning to the latest 3.4 [if I remember correctly]. Took a while of frustration to figure out how to allow my Mac's security to allow the updates to download from the Olympus website. Indeed to even figure out that this was the issue preventing the download. Never failed yet though and got there in the end. All's good.
I found that useful - I thought I knew all the steps, but it was great reminder . Thanks Rob
Thanks! Good to hear from you, Carmen.
This has been such a useful lesson, I had no idea ....many thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Great info! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Rob, I knew all that once but had forgotten it. By the way, latest EM1 II firmware you can change press and hold times like the MkIII. Cheers
Thanks! I haven't updated my firmware yet.
This isn't strictly speaking a button feature, but there's a hidden touchscreen feature on the E-M1 II where double-tapping the screen toggles trackpad behavior on and off. Trackpad behavior is where you can drag on the screen to move the AF point when your eye is to the EVF. I figured I'd mention this for people who've "lost" trackpad behavior and don't know how to get it back. Just double-tap the screen again.
Thanks for the tip, Matt!
As someone who often writes the user manual and training materials for technical products, I've never understood why companies invest time and money developing clever features, then don't tell anyone about them 🙄; it's totally crazy. Thanks for this video, Rob. I wasn't aware of the push-and-hold functionality. I'll have to investigate, as it may allow me to program some button capabilities I would like. 👏🍻
Thanks, Rick!
Excellent video as usual Rob 👍
Up until now I had no idea my E-M1ii could do this.
Glad to help!
Wonderful insight, I had no idea these things existed, I have learnt so much from you thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent. Thanks a lot Rob.
Thank you!
Standing Ovation !!! THXS
Thanks!
WOW; Who Knew! Now everyone knows; thanks Rob
Thanks!
Great information as usual. Thanks Rob!
Glad to help!
The one at 20.04 mins is gold!! I feel I know my cameras pretty well, but this one tip makes it all worthwhile for me. I do find it tricky knowing what's on each of my cards and usually resort to taking a card out so I'm sure I know what's going on.
You are not alone! So many people ask me about that one.
Great Tips Rob!, greetings from Chile
Thanks!
I wasn’t aware of that. Great stuff, thanks
Glad to help!
Thanks for another great video, I think this is what you do best but I guess these take a lot of time and thought.
On the EM1.3 I get really mixed up switching between live view and super control panel when I have the shooting menu active. I just get lost between the three views. It would make a nice short video so show the best way to swap between the three views, at least for me. But hopefully I am not the only one with this problem.
.
Have you ever thought of doing one of those menu explanation books as nobody seems to be doing them anymore. You seem to have the most detailed explanations for Olympus than anyone else I have seen, and be able to put it in a way that is understandable. If you ever consider this a searchable PDF in colour would be my choice. Mobile books like mobi, epub etc I find too fidely.
Or a paid for video covering the whole menu and button system, may help your channel
Anyway looking forward to your next tutorial as always
Hi Mark. Lots of books on the Olympus menus on Amazon. The David Thorpe books are very thin, but a useful aide memoirs to the menu structure. Other books give more explanation. If the book is available as an ebook, you can download the preview to check out the style. That said, I prefer paper books so I can make notes in the margins. -- Rick
@@rickbear7249 I have David Thorpe's G85 book in paper version. [Do not like kindle versions]. I would like something more comprehensive for the EM1.3 though. I just noticed Darrell Young has his out the the EM1.3 now, was not out the last time I looked.
Opps just noticed Darrell Young's book is still in publication due later
@@marklaurendet1861 Is it on pre-order?
@@rickbear7249 According to the site I looked at available in 6th April. This is a local bookstore that I use for online purchases Angus & Robertson
. These function changes make the 5MKII into a Pen F. I love this Classic Camera. Thanks for the Tips.
You bet!
Geoff
I much appreciate your videos, they've inspired me to try out many different things, I look forward to your tips and tricks. There is one thing I would like to ask. I have recently got a Feelworld monitor, and its great, works fine on my Pen F, but when I come to use it on my EM1 it will only show pictures from the SD card, can't get the live view on the monitor
Thanks. Unfortunately, I don't think any of the Mark I series cameras allowed hdmi live view.
Hi Rob, do you know where i can find the highlights and shadows (Fn 2) button on the Em1 Mark III. Brilliant video. Thank you.
Hi. They put the hi/sh feature in the super control panel near the bottom right. You can assign a button to the "multi function" and select hi/sh from there. Just press and hold the mult-func button then rotate the rear dial to scroll through the different settings.
Hi Rob, Morning from Malaysia,
excellent button explanation video, as always very intuitive. I have a small problem with my nearly acquired EM1 Mk3, with my older
Em5. mk2 and PenF the Intrvl.Sh/Time Lapse feature is in menu Camera1. The same as my new Em1 mk3 but on the Em1 it is greyed out
and 'OFF' I'm sure there is a switch somewhere in the dungeons of the menus, but i just can't find. Can You help ?
Many thanks Rob. Expat in Malaysia
The only thing I can think of is you have the mode dial on movie mode. You need to be in a photo mode P-A-S-M.
@@RobTrek Thanks Rob, always get a good resolve from you. It worked!! I also, did a firmware, update and reset. everything TickatyBoo now. Thanks from Malaysia
Hmm, after watching your video, I encountered an issue with my OM-5. The multiple functions on the FN buttons aren’t working properly. I assigned multifunctions to two FN buttons, but when I set the first FN button to ISO, the multifunction of the second FN button automatically changes to ISO as well.
I've never tried that before. That would be logical. I just tried it on my OM-1, same thing happens.
Can you get additional press and hold functions by switching the mode 1/ mode 2 flip switch?
Hi. Sorry, switching the lever doesn't add additional button functions.
I cannot understand why they made the HDR button so complicated. I noticed that when you long-press the bkt button it opens the bracketing on screen menu. Tried the same with the HDR button, nothing happened. I would never ever try to press and hold the HDR button and then move the front dial... Thanks for this useful video Rob.
Glad to help!
I always forget the functions on my Oly. It’s so highly configurable I find it complicated.
So many things! Thanks.
What happens using the switch handel 1 / 2 in different setting modes
Great question! I haven't explored what happens when you switch the lever but I do have this video: th-cam.com/video/j9CX-wCCWXI/w-d-xo.html
The 5 Mark II has 4 Mysets, how many does the 5 Mark III have? Does the 5-II have any features that the 5-III doesn’t have?
The Mark III has 3 custom settings, only one can be accessed on the mode dial. The Mark III has much better autofocus, pro-capture, 4k video, and much better IBIS. It also has a much better buffer for sports/action burst mode photography. If you don't need burst mode buffer or 4k video, I don't think you need to upgrade.
Houston i have a problem. Not with this video, which I am now watching, but you reminded me of an annoying function on my EM1 Mark III.
Since you are my GoTo for settings, I thought I'd ask you.
My workflow right now is to take my card out, put it in my laptop card slot, and Copy it to a folder on my laptop.
So, I Copy the files from my card slot into a \Temp folder on my laptop for developing. Files come in as _MDM0001.ORF, _MDM0002.ORF, etc.
I then check that I got all the files and reformat both card in my camera.
Then, I have a continuation of, or a new shoot and copy them into the \Temp folder (assuming the other files are not done and are still there) and all or some of the new files overwrite the others. (and the new files don't have .ON1 or .XMP files attached yet, while the older files do).
I checked the manual and they seem to say that if I format the cards the file names automatically start with 0001 again. I want them to always start and use the next available number, like my Nikon did and go up to 9999 before recycling back to 0001 again.
Where is that setting or how do I do that with an M1 Mark III? Thank you so much.
I found it, I found it. It would help if I learned how to read. It's Gear|H1|File Name|Auto setting.
Great! Just double check it. I tend to reset the camera time to time and this setting gets reset as well.
Hello, I have an Olympus omd10 mark2. Is it possible to automatically inspect the images using a cable when shooting in the studio?
Unfortunately the E-M10ii doesn't have tethering ability.
Any of this apply to EM10? Just held a few buttons but nothing happened....
Most of them do apply to the Mark II series, but I don't have any Mark I cameras to test this.
@@RobTrek mine is an EM10 mkii....any comments folks?
@@seamanjive I’ve used press and hold OK on my EM10MKII to reset the highlight and shadow icon
@@lizdellar good news...did you have to assign a that function before it worked?
@@seamanjive no, but it helps to know about it doesn’t it. I think I found out about it on one of Rob’s videos.
Em5 and em5 mark ii are such beautiful cameras reminds me so much of the Om1 hands down the most beautiful camera ever made , the em5 mark iii 🙈🙉🙊🤣🤣 ugly and made out of plastic.
Mark II series are the best!
Brilliant! Very helpful thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Very useful, thanks Rob
Thanks, Carl!
