At the risk of being redundant with other commenters, I’m compelled to say thank you for your willingness to share your expertise with the Olympus E-M10 Mark II. This series of videos is invaluable. I’m brand new to digital photography and just fell upon a used Olympus E-M10 Mark II. I’m looking forward to having some fun with it and can’t imagine having a meaningful experience without first learning about it from you. You’re a natural born teacher. Great job. If Olympus isn’t compensating you in some way, they should. New subscriber. Keep em coming!
Thanks so much for the kind feedback. I appreciate you taking the time to write. It's a great camera and I want to show people they can take great pictures with it once they understand how to use it.
May I just add that these are excellent videos. Manuals, even the seemingly standard 300 page + items, are of generally limited value. I trust my my hunch is incorrect, however I very much doubt if Olympus pay Rob one cent. He deserves many thanks from Olympus users for making their photography journeys more enjoyable and productive.
I encourage Olympus to give some credit to your video's. Last year I got this camera from my father who passed away. After little time to spend I recently picked the camera up to learn more about it, and start making foto's. Your a great teacher with pleasant and clear presentation in getting to understand the basics of fotografy and the great specs this camera has to offer as a beginner❤
I know a lot of people have said this already, but these are honestly the most helpful vidoes on photography I've seen. Thank you for taking the time to make them. You're a natural educator
For those with the newer E-M10 Mk.3, it's worth buying David Thorpe's book "The Olympus E-M10 MkIII Menu System Simplified". Do NOT buy the Kindle e-book version, as it isn't well formatted. Go for the paperback! The book goes into total detail of every single menu setting available on the new E-M10 MkIII. Each setting is simply explained in plain English, as well as the pro's and con's of its use. A great book to compliment Rob's invaluable video tutorials. Rick
I was just given this camera, its my first digital camera and I am super new to photography so i would like to THANK YOU FOR THESE VIDEOS! Holy moly, you make starting up so much easier to get into photography as a hobby for now. i've been pushed by many people to get into it because of how I see the world through my phone camera and now you have given me the best start!!!!! Thank you so much Rob!!!!!!!!!
My girlfriend bought this camera but has no idea how to use cameras 🤣. These videos helped me teach her how to use it , thanks a lot! Shoot, now I want to get into photography now haha.
I have owned an OM-D E-M10 (original) for about 7 years (second hand from a hobbyist) and I could never really get it setup correctly. This caused me to lose interest in picking my camera up and going out to take pictures. I've read forums and watched so many videos for best practice settings and since I found your videos I now have the correct settings and it has changed my feelings about this camera and inspired me to get out and do more photography again. I've since purchased another lens (after watching your videos) and I have even picked up the Macro Extension Tube after watching one of your other videos so that I can really get everything out of my M.ZUIKO 40-150mm. Thank you for these wonderful videos, they are invaluable and were a huge help, just wish I would have found them sooner.
I have a OM-D E-M10 Mark I, this series has helped me finally get to grips with the camera and it's menus, frankly the pdf manual is terrible. The last SLR I had was back in the 1970's and everything was manual and I used to wind my own Ilford FP4 and develop my own prints too. Life is easier now, once you can get to grips with the tech. This all makes sense and I've instantly had some success with Aperture priority and getting the shot I had intended. Thank you so much. I can start really enjoying my modest camera now!
These videos are fantastic. I was a pro photographer till the digital revolution left me behind. Might be a bit late learning now at the age of 63, but you make things so easy to understand. Can't thank you enough. Cheers Steve UK.
I have recently bought the E-M10 Mark III and even though these tutorials are for the previous model I am finding them invaluable. Rob, you are a natural teacher and should be tremendously proud of what you have achieved. I am sure that my photography will improve as a result...well done!!
This may be 4 years old, but I am so glad I found your videos. I have been looking FOREVER for a how to for my E-M10 and even though its a little older than the mark II or Mark III, this is soooooooo helpful. THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Rob and all appreciative followers. I actually had a question I couldn't get answered by the manual or Google, but having watched the first two videos I took a look through the menus (daunting to a beginner) and solved the problem. (The Info Button was only displaying two menu options, none of them the clear screen). I could have scrubbed this comment, but thought I'd take the opportunity to share anyway. Rob, your videos are so valuable and indispensable, thank you for taking so much time and trouble to help us all. Looking forward to the rest of the videos. Thank you.
Thanks for making this tutorial! I got stuck with the bad quality pictures. Blurry or moved and I didn't know why they where that bad. But now I'm taking really great ones! And your videos also helped my out with the different button's and options. Thanks a lot
Thank you so much for your videos! I'm learning things I've been trying to figure out for 10yrs!! Can't wait to take some great photos. Keep up the great work!
Hands down the best, most informative tutorial I've ever seen. Awesome video! Very good explanations on what is going on in the camera, and his it all works. THANK YOU for taking the time to make this series. Liked and subscribed immediately.
This is SO helpful. I was recently inspired to get back into taking pictures and learning more about my camera and these videos are teaching me so much! Can't wait to watch more :)
Thank you so much for your videos. I had taken a break from my camera and I forgot a lot of what I knew. This has been a great teaching tool for me. Being somewhat new to photography its nice having someone take the time and explain how to improve on the use of my camera and taking better shots. Keep doing these.
Thanks Rob for this clear explanation of the Olymus E-M10 Mark II camera. I try to watch all your video's, but playing with the camera and having fun with it is the best way to learn. Your video's helps me a lot to get started!
I just got the OM-D E-M1 and been following yours "How to" to set it up for the first time. I love the way you describe everything,very calm and relaxed. Thank you for all the hard work you've put into making all these videos.
Hi Rob, Thank you! Thank you! I just bought the Mark II, and the menu system was really daunting to deal with, then I found your videos. Please keep them coming!
Rob, this is a fantastic video resource. I have just got my hands on the Olympus OMD E-M10 ii and in all honesty the menu systems are truly daunting when compared to a few others i have used. Thanks for simplifying it all. Much appreciated. Fully subscribed to your channel and looking forward to becoming a much better photographer.
Thank you so much Rob. This is a fantastic tutorial on how to use this camera. I am coming from a Evolt E-520 which all those years back took me long enough to learn to use. But this camera is much, much more complicated. I would have been pretty much lost without your tutorial. Thank you again. Fabulous work.
Hi, stumbled across your videos when I got my Olympus out of the cupboard. I have learned more from your vids than I have in the past few weeks. Explanations are clear and to the point. Thanks very much. These have inspired me to get back into the hobby. Keep 'em coming !!!!
Absolutely fantastic info and knowledge sharing. I've recently bought a Mark III but have followed the videos easily. Your delivery is easy to understand, concise and second to none. I've learned so much in a short space of time and applaud you loudly! Thanks
Super helpful!!! Can't thank you enough. Very informative and easy to comprehend. Novice here and beginner on photography, with your videos, I super learned a lot already. Just got 🔥
I've just stumbled across your videos.... They are great! Thank you. I've had my camera for a year and never known how to use it. I finally have some hope and will follow along the series to gain more of an understanding.
I bought my camera back in 2016 and have only ever used the point and click function. I decided it was time to really learn how to use it and came across these videos - wow, they are so informative and you're a natural presenter. Can't wait to start experimenting properly,
I have found your videos so helpful. I take notes and practice after each video. You are the best. I don't feel like an idiot and I feel respected as a learner. Thank You so Much.
Watched part 2 because if part 1 worked for me, then definitely I’m learning from your videos. I did put my settings based on the first video and started noticing the difference in my photos.
I am loving your tutorials! I can't thank you enough for creating these. Again, I am a novice, but I love taking pictures. I love this camera! I can't believe all of the features it has and you are helping me to make sense of them. I really like filming the outdoors and nature more than people, so with that being said I am wondering why you turn off the EVF auto switch? Do you look through the monitor when you are filming landscape, birds, etc....? Keep these tutorials coming! Thanks so much!
Thanks. I mainly do it in my videos because the camera I have that records the back of the screen on the em10 is too close and causes the screen to turn off and switch to the evf. On my normal photo walks, I prefer using the evf. The camera is more stable, it's easier to see and frame, and also I'm better at aiming the camera for birds in flight.
@@RobTrek Thanks for the reply. I have some awesome shots of birds and butterflies only from pure luck. I hope to get really proficient from your videos.
My SH-2 pocket travel zoom had a shutter failure - and the lens assembly spares are no longer available. I had paid for the full estimate in advance, and I was offered an E-M10 II as a replacement. It is new, but someone had already played with it, and I did a full reset. I have done the Super-Fine JPEG setting you suggested. When the battery has charged again, I will do a comparison between my surviving SH-1 and the E-M10 II on my favourite waterfront scene, intended for 33x23 inch prints.
Thanks for posting these videos. Had the M10 for a few years, but had to replace it, so went for the M10ii. Even though I'm familiar with the interface, your tips are very helpful. Looking forward to putting this knowledge into practice. One nitpick - the "rule of thirds" grid the camera shows is not really thirds. It's actually a "rule of phi" or golden ratio grid. I'm not sure why Olympus doesn't give both options; it seems simple enough to do. Maybe in a future upgrade.
just bought this camera in 2023, theses vids are a godsend! great stuff.
Glad you like them!

Very useful, your video's make me understand my newly bought Olympus E-M10 Mark II and improve myself in photography! Keep on the good work!!
Thanks. Will try. Been very so busy lately.
Another FANTASTIC tutorial Rob. Olympus really should be paying you to make these videos. Thank you thank you!
Thank you!
Great tuitional videos Rob, a real help to get started and start using all the features.
Thanks. Glad to help!
0:05 I love that ON/OFF switch. Virtually identical to the original OM1. Just a lovely design detail.
Some people prefer the switch to be on the right side for one handed operation. Personally, I like the nod to their legacy film cameras.
Super helpful Rob. Just finished Part I. So clear and easy to follow. Thank you!!!!
Thanks. Glad these videos are helping!
@@RobTrek just finished Part II. TIme to take some pictures!
Great job once again, the tip about the iso on video 1 was a life saver!
Thanks! Don't be afraid of high ISO. I go over 6400 all the time. Yes, quality is not the same but better than a blurry picture.
I’ll check out your flower video and look into extension tubes. Thanks!
This is SO helpful. I was recently inspired to get back into taking pictures and learning more about my camera and these videos are teaching me so much! Can't wait to watch more :)

Ok thanks Rob I will try that setup
Let me know if you have any other questions. -Rob
Thanks. Not totally sure when this was put up?
I have a Pen F and this was very helpful in determining how to set the Pen's function buttons.
Thanks, Robert. Fortunately most of the settings are identical. The PenF has a few more though.
I am loving your tutorials! I can't thank you enough for creating these. Again, I am a novice, but I love taking pictures. I love this camera!

Thanks. Part 3 is done and uploaded. Working on Part 4.
My SH-2 pocket travel zoom had a shutter failure - and the lens assembly spares are no longer available. I had paid for the full estimate in advance, and I was offered an E-M10 II as a replacement. It is new, but someone had already played with it, and I did a full reset. I have done the Super-Fine JPEG setting you suggested. When the battery has charged again, I will do a comparison between my surviving SH-1 and the E-M10 II on my favourite waterfront scene, intended for 33x23 inch prints.
Cool. I didn't even know about the SH-2. Looked like a neat little camera. E-M10ii should be a nice upgrade.
Thanks for posting these videos. Had the M10 for a few years, but had to replace it, so went for the M10ii. Even though I'm familiar with the interface, your tips are very helpful. Looking forward to putting this knowledge into practice.
One nitpick - the "rule of thirds" grid the camera shows is not really thirds. It's actually a "rule of phi" or golden ratio grid. I'm not sure why Olympus doesn't give both options; it seems simple enough to do. Maybe in a future upgrade.
Thanks. I was under the impression rule of thirds was a simplified golden ration. Might discuss this a bit more later. But you are correct!
