To join the other commenters again, sending you a huge thanks to help me to settle this camera.. It's my absolute first one, and I have to say the menus are pretty complicated.. Your pedagogic skills are just very perfect.. Congratulations ! I currently rewiew all your videos which are absolutely useful but I looking forward for your new ones to keep mastering my camera. By the way, after discovering an 40 years old argentic Minolta camera in a closet, I tried to adapt with a 10€ ring the lens to my OMD. Beside the better maximum aperture (f/2), the fact it is fully manual lens (manual aperture and focus with rings on the lens) helped me a lot to understand and praticing the aperture and the different scale of focusing by praticing it manually. So, Stop me if is it a bad idea but I would recommend the beginner like me to try if they can, especially old lens are pretty cheap now (50 or less) And, I have a little question if you don't mind , the color my OMD showed me in a night or dark condition are never very satisfaying (too yellow or orange depend to the light) and the light is pretty exagerated. Can I ask you what should I change to make it better? Thanks again and keep up the good work ! Be sure you have another suscriber !
I love old lenses and it's a great way to add some fun to your photography without spending a ton of money. I use old lenses all the time. Focusing takes some practice but comes easily for most. Night photography, particularly street photography has lots of yellow light. Try changing your whitebalance to tungsten - the icon that looks like a light bulb.
@@RobTrek Thanks for a lot for your answer ! It's right I barely use the Whitebalance in my shooting, but it is a feature I should explore more! Again, I'm very grateful to you for helping me to mastering my Camera and my photography in general !
Always enjoy these, I consider myself a bit more advanced than beginner, but because I have added Olympus to my shooting arsenal, I find these very helpful
Thanks for this Rob. Very informative, easy to follow series of videos. Easy to understand for the layman. Already improved the quality of my photographs and given me much more insight. Keep it up!
Thank you Rob for your wondefull video's. Since a week owner of a Olympus OMD-10Mark III en thanks to you I get the fun back for fotography! Greetings from Holland.
dear Mr Rob, thank you so much for your very kind words. In all honesty, I take you everywhere with me when I'm photographing; I remember (or try to), all your advice and your tutorials and then for the rest I let instinct take over. I am trying to learn more photographic technique...but like when I'm writing music, I don't want technique to over rule instinct. Every time I see your photos on Instagram, I'm just blown away and wish I could have a tenth of your talent and perspective. I so much look forward to your new tutorials, and I watch the older ones frequently to try and be better. 😍 x
You have very good illustrations here, thank you. Coming from the SH-50/-1/-2 pocket zooms - 'ESP/Face' (one combined setting on those) is safe for white cruise ships moving in and out of center against a background of varying brightness on the E-M10 II as well.
All these years of owning an em5 and i didn't know that face priority focus also exposed the face correctly even in back-lit situations, I thought this was a Nikon only feature. Love your videos they're clear, concise and appreciated.
Hi Rob, Thank you very much for these detailed tutorials, they are the only ones I have found so complete. One question I have an Olympus OMD M10 Mark III camera, I want to buy a TTL flash that already has a built-in receiver in a Godox tt685o, but I do not know if I need to buy a transmitter trigger to use the flash outside the shoe, I see in the manual of the camera that brings RC for the flash, but I have the doubt if the camera is connected to the flash or if I really need the Trigger transmitter. Thanks for your help.
Thanks for this series Rob. Is there a Part 8? Is there a list of all of your video? I want to watch them in sequence since only now I'm watching them.
Thanks for watching. You can check out the playlists on my channel page here: ruclips.net/channel/UC4k4g9LVWmGOidD7tzRnYFgplaylists I need to organize is better, but hopefull that helps for now.
Hi Bob. Great video for specially Oly OMD10M2 users ( and general concepts of photography) as usual. I will thank you if you can do a second part for the spot highlights, and shadows mode. It will be a pressure see your point of view and description of this 2 particular modes. thanks in advance. and keep with your video channel for us, your are a inspiration for users of this model of Olympus, maybe once or the best balance model from Olympus in terms of price and features, but normally we didn't know how to take all the benefits, but with your videos we tray. thanks again.
Another great video Mr Trek, as always... There are two other metering modes in my E-M10, a "highlights with shadows" and "shadows with highlights" kinda things. Could you please find time to talk about those in some upcoming video?
Hi Rob your videos are brilliant and they have helped me so much to understand the OMD em10 mkii. Can you tell me please if the basic settings are equally valid for the OMD em1 mkii? A friend who is new to micro 4/3 cameras as just bought one and needs to get up to speed - I can’t find anything as excellent and comprehensive as your videos!
just been watching a load of videos on the m10 mk2 and subscribed. It’s great to have so much information on your camera. I wonder if you can help out with this question. So I select my focus point on the left of the screen where I want the subject to be. If I select centre weight metering or spot metering, I’m still metering in the centre of the screen and not where my focus point is? So to get the correct exposure, I’ve got to point at the bubject, lock the exposure, move camera so the focus point is on the subject, and then take the photo? I think I’m missing a trick here because if your doing street, your obviously going to risk missing shots to do all this every time. I’d really appreciate your input on this one
Thanks Rob, second time of watching, I am still not 100% clear on the end of the video when you recompose, what happens to the focus point I will go and practice, that will help!
I enjoyed your video but I have a question. What is the relationship between the focus point location /number of focus points and the metering? Otherwise if I choose a focus point and am aiming the camera at that focus point is the camera is in ESP metering mode checking the light for the entire scene or just the focal points I chose? Thank you
On the E-M10ii, the focus point has no effect on the metering mode. On higher end models, you can lock the spot meter to a single point focus. Using ESP or Center Weight metering is independent of the focus point.
I prefer to retain the window curtain detail, then shade the rest in PP. I do nightfall videos, starting before sunset, typically 3 clips. Center-weighted, I use EV down to -1,7 for sky color and keeping the buildings dark once the sun is off them. City lights come on at sunset, and as darkness increases, they are the only illumination. But center-weighted metering always necessitates stepped gamma correction in PP as darkness progresses. So I have just set both E-M10 II and IV for ESP metering, ready for the next nightfall video, in the hope that this will reduce the number of stepped gamma settings in PP.
The other night I was sitting on the balcony capturing still images of the moon in the clouds. I selected manual mode. As the clouds moved by the moon captured a video image. The video was all black. It’s as though the manual exposure settings for still images were overridden. Hmmm …. strokes goatee.
*facepalm* I've been doing night shooting for months and was having problems with spot metering. I didn't know about half-press-recompose. Like an idiot I asked on reddit for help.
Glad this helped. I have another video you should watch here: ruclips.net/video/xTO7YIB60Dk/видео.html and this ruclips.net/video/Opkhd6Qlk_8/видео.html

This is just golden, got my first e-m10 and this helps a lot !
You are THE best resource online for how to use Olympus cameras. Thank you for all that you do.
Wow, thank you!
Great video again, it is great that you are actually making the pictures and showing the results. Thanks Rob.
Thanks. I try to make my videos as real life as possible.
I love these single topic videos! Very helpful. Thanks, Rob.
Thanks. I need to get back to this series. Ironically they take 10 times longer to make.

Glad they help a little. I'm finding all kinds of things these little cameras do that my Nikon didn't.
Thanks Rob! I appreciate your simplistic way of training...very good!
Thank you for the kind feedback. Much appreciated!
Another great video explaining the basic functions in detail. Please make more videos.
Thank you!
HI Rob, you just keep things so simple and make learning easy. Thanks. Keep recording topics.
Thanks. I'll try and pick up this series again soon!
Thanks for this Rob. Very informative, easy to follow series of videos. Easy to understand for the layman. Already improved the quality of my photographs and given me much more insight. Keep it up!
Thanks. Will continue this series as I get time.
Thanks again, always consise and to the point. Clearly and logically presented....

What a great tutorial! I really enjoyed it and feel I'm getting to understand the mysterious world of photography! Thanks so much, Mr Rob x
Thanks. You take great pictures! Follow you on instagram. Much better than I do.

Excellent as usual, understandable, very nice and instructive.
Thank you!
Another great video by the Olympus Master 👍🏻
Thanks! Not the master, but glad to share what I do know.
You have very good illustrations here, thank you. Coming from the SH-50/-1/-2 pocket zooms - 'ESP/Face' (one combined setting on those) is safe for white cruise ships moving in and out of center against a background of varying brightness on the E-M10 II as well.

Oh my goodness. Who knew? That is such a useful thing to know. Thank you.

Thanks. Funny, I didn't know my Nikon did that!
Thank you once again Rob.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for a very informative video it help me out a lot
Thanks for watching!
Hi Rob,
great great great job as always. Keep sharing. Thumbs up.
Thanks!
Brilliant tips... thanks 👌👌👌
Thank you!
Thank you Rob. You are the best.
Thanks, Veronica.
Great video Rob. Thanks
Thank you!
Very helpful indeed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with a newbie like me...
Thank you!
You teach me how to love my Olympus camera)
Glad you like my beginners series. Thanks!
Thanks for putting together another informative video. Look forward to watching more! m.
Thank you!
These are really fantastic videos Rob. Not just for Olympus users but for photography beginners as well. Will there be a 8th one in these series?
Thanks. I'm working my way back to this. Think I will do one on video for beginners.
Great job!
Thanks!
i was going to ask if metering is working with 'focus and recompose' but you answered for it yourself ))) thank you Rob!
Always happy to help. Thanks for watching.
Fantastic!
Thank you!
Very helpful, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for your help.
Thanks. Yes, you will need a godox trigger. The Olympus trigger is not compatible with the rc mode in godox.

Hi Rob your videos are brilliant and they have helped me so much to understand the OMD em10 mkii.
Can you tell me please if the basic settings are equally valid for the OMD em1 mkii? A friend who is new to micro 4/3 cameras as just bought one and needs to get up to speed - I can’t find anything as excellent and comprehensive as your videos!
Thank you. Yes, the cameras are very similar. I may do a series for the em1 separately since some settings are setup differently.
great video by omd master once again. can you do a face detection and focus video? thanks
Thanks. I'll add it to my list of videos.
Coming from Fuji. Can you have the metering point match the focus point? I love that feature in Fuji. I use the OM-D MKiii.
Unfortunately, the spot meter is center point only. You'd have to get an E-M5 or E-M1 to link the focus point.
just been watching a load of videos on the m10 mk2 and subscribed. It’s great to have so much information on your camera.
I wonder if you can help out with this question. So I select my focus point on the left of the screen where I want the subject to be.

I think I’m missing a trick here because if your doing street, your obviously going to risk missing shots to do all this every time.
I’d really appreciate your input on this one
Unfortunately, the EM10.2 does not lock the spot metering to the focus point. It's always metered in the center of the frame.
@@RobTrek thank you for replying Rob. It’s appreciated.
How do you control for both focus and exposure using the half trigger press/recompose method?
Sorry for the late reply. Go into menu A -> AEL/AFL -> S-AF -> select "mode1". Let me know if that works. -Rob
Thanks Rob, second time of watching, I am still not 100% clear on the end of the video when you recompose, what happens to the focus point I will go and practice, that will help!
If holding the shutter button half way, the focus point and exposure locks at the first point.
I enjoyed your video but I have a question. What is the relationship between the focus point location /number of focus points and the metering? Otherwise if I choose a focus point and am aiming the camera at that focus point is the camera is in ESP metering mode checking the light for the entire scene or just the focal points I chose?

So I have just set both E-M10 II and IV for ESP metering, ready for the next nightfall video, in the hope that this will reduce the number of stepped gamma settings in PP.
Thanks for the information. Yes, in very dark situations it's probably better to adjust the metering to ESP so it doesn't overexpose.
👍👍👍👍
The other night I was sitting on the balcony capturing still images of the moon in the clouds.
I selected manual mode.
As the clouds moved by the moon captured a video image.
The video was all black.
It’s as though the manual exposure settings for still images were overridden.
Hmmm …. strokes goatee.
Video has it's own exposure settings. You can set color profiles and white balance, but exposure is separate.
What happened to Part 6?
I did a lens recommendation for Part 6. A little out of place I know. Sorry about that. I may need to rename the last two videos.
best solution is the multi spot metering
multi spot works pretty well for general exposure. the other exposure modes can expand creativity.
*facepalm* I've been doing night shooting for months and was having problems with spot metering. I didn't know about half-press-recompose. Like an idiot I asked on reddit for help.
Glad this helped. I have another video you should watch here: ruclips.net/video/xTO7YIB60Dk/видео.html and this ruclips.net/video/Opkhd6Qlk_8/видео.html
