Regardless of whether you own an Olympus camera or not, it's beyond me how anyone can downvote such excellent video tutorials. Peter Forsgård is definitely extremely knowledgeable about his topics and presents them very well, so it's always a pleasure to watch them.
Thank you very much.
@@ForsgardPeter The pleasure's all mine. :-) Thank you for your excellent work, please keep it up.
Thanks Peter. I appreciate your honest evaluation of both cameras’ capabilities. I always learn a lot from your presentations.
Thank you.
Thank you very much , I was confused but now I am going to get mark 2 👍
RC Mode is available on the Mark III since Firmware version 1.1. It is in Shooting Menu 2 at the bottom.
Thank you, thank you, thank you ! This video is great and I like the "breezy" way in which you speak; makes learning fun. Any additional information at the basic or intermediate level (in my case for the Mark III ) is most appreciated. Thank you again.
Thank you.
Oh you took my advice! Subbed
Thanks for the clarification Peter!
Thank you.
Great Video Peter! So concise and easy to understand (as I am a newbie)
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your sharing.
Great Peter!! Thx!!
I have an Olympus Stylus 1 (Baby OM-D), the remote control for the external flash pops up when you press “OK”, and and then cycle between those screens.
I am so happy with my Olympus OM D M10. The shots are so clear and the camera is lightweight and easy to carry and use.
Great to hear!
Thank you Peter..
I don't know how many videos I watched but you helped me choose one. I just ordered the mark II 😁
Great to hear!
Been loving it. I set it up with the settings you recommended in one of your videos and been playing with manual mode every time i pick it up 😁
@@odeth813 what price did you get mark 2 ?
@@humayun4861 i think it was $350 USD got it brand new
@@odeth813 lol out of context, but, happy 10th anniversary on youtube 😂
Great Video! Subscribed.
Thank you!
I had paid in advance for a lens replacement (dead shutter) on my SH-2 pocket zoom. But that spare is no longer available, and I was given an E-M10 Mark II for the pre-paid repair price. The SH-2 was factory-programmed in anticipation of what I would attempt to do with it, The E-M10 II is intended for photographers who want control over every setting. This caused me some trip-ups. For video, the volume setting is manual, and for me, the default volume is too high. It makes even the highest wind noise reduction useless. Recording volume at -2 emulates what my SH-2 (and SH-1 still working) do with their automatic volume control. My laptop video editors monitor HD1080p with some stuttering. 4k video is therefoer impractical for me. I turned down the bit rate, so my hard drive space would not disappear so quickly. I use mostly the manual 40-150mm kit lens. Thanks for telling me how to operate the motor-driven zoom on the 14-42 lens from the camera (no zoom lever on the E-M10 II). The E-M10 II is a great camera - but I cannot use it when working with Sandra. She was a photo model getting the blame for photographers getting stuck with their camera settings, and she still has anxieties about this.
I just found out that the Mk3 and Mk4 does not have MySets and less customizable buttons and dial. I have recently started using the MySets and cannot go without it now. Mk2 will be my next camera from my Mk1.
just got the mk 2 last week after watching you videos got the mk 2 with the Sigma EX 30mm F2.8 DN Standard Prime Lens Panasonic Lumix 45-150mm f/4.0-5.6 Lens and the kit 14_42mm ii r love the size and features you can not do quickly on a phone no comparison cheers
Good set!
Thank you! I was able to choose watching your video. !! Version here I come
Great to hear.
Thanks Peter!
I have found the RC Mode in menu 2/RC Mode. It works with my nissin i40 TTL group A.
Hugs
Yes the E10mkii has it, but E10mkiii does not.
my E10mkiii have it :-)
same on mine
Hi. You mentioned about limitations in exposure control. Did you mean I can't take night picture with long exposure 30s or longer?
I love my Mark I 🤷♀️
Yes! I chose the Mark ii for better photo options and am happy after 2 months of use. I never use video. $200 cheaper also!
Good choice.
I am thinking of getting one of them because i wanna start travelling and wanna take nice photos of me and the places im gonna go too. In your vid you say mark2 but 4 years after same answer?
cool info so i will choose the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II cause i want it for photo and probably it has better high res that the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III what do you think
Thank you, Peter! One question: a frame for AF in video mode is much larger than in photo modes (PASM). But in photo modes I can change an area for focusing from little to big. In video mode the frame is big and its size cannot be change, right? For example, when while shooting a landscape I would like to change focus from small blade of grass to big mountain on background but and I cannot select (pick) certain blade if grass, because the frame is big and covers a lot of blades of grass.
It is better to use manual focus when shooting video. AF is a not the best way in a situation you described.
Thank you for your detailed reviews, it has really helped me to narrow my choices. Just a quick question: I was initially thinking of buying the m10 Mark3 because there was very little difference in price, but hearing from this video that I cannot be able to adjust the exposure/whitebalance kind of put me back in confusion. This is my first camera, and as I'm interested in black and white photography as well, I was wondering if the auto whitebalance may be a setback to black and white photography. I'm not planning on taking much videos, and it would be preferable to have better quality photos overall. Which one should I buy?
In my opinion the E-M10 MKII is better for photography. You can control the White Balance with the E-M10 MKIII also, but in special shooting modes. Auto WB is usually a good choce anyway in most cases.
@@ForsgardPeterIf there is no difference in photography, I guess I should go for the Mark II then. Thank you for your reply!
The mark iii has 4k video option but is that really needed? The mark ii goes to 1080c1920 full HD but also goes down to a very useful low resolution 640x480 four thirds mode that isn't 16x9. You can record rough video for hours on end.
Hello from New York City! Does the EM10 mark 2 support remote shutter release and how to do it? Thank you for informative video. Have a good weekend.
Not sure if OM SYSTEM has one, but at least JJC is making one: amzn.to/3C2oNg5 (Affiliate link)
Hi Peter,
I am a beginner in Photography and currently using point and shoot cameras,
Is Olympus OM-D EM10 Mark 2 better for me for taking composition photos and videos, or the Mark 3 is better overall? Currently Mark 2 is much cheaper brand new than mark 3. Thank you
I would get the E-M10 MKII, but if you prefer 4K video then the E-M10 MKIII is a better choice. But with either one, you cannot go wrong.
who is still watching this in 2020
According to my analytics, some are still watching it. Both cameras are still in the market and were sold around Christmas quite a lot.
@@ForsgardPeter You are really doing good work I have an em10 mark II that am using now and am loving its work and learning the best settings for everything I think the mark II really shoot quality videos then you can take them into your editing software you will really produce some great quality videos but on the pictures it's so amazing. thumbs up to you
Thanks.
I just bought a used Mark iii.
@@hisownfool1 is it good?
HI Peter, quick question. Between the olympus EM-10 Mark 2/3 and the EM-5 Mark 2, which would be a better choice? I have the older EM-10 and looking at a second camera which is a bit newer and a bit better than what I currently have. LeRoy
I personally like the E-M5 MKII, but its always hard to say for someone else. Go to a camera dealer and see which one feels the best in your hand. Image quality wise you cannot go wrong if you decide to choose any of those.
You know, I like that low resolution 640 x 480 3:4 aspect ratio setting on the Mark ii. Very useful because it uses very little memory.
Thta is one way. The only problem is that the files are not so useable.
First of all thank you for your review. I am interested in photography and video. I thought starting with omd em10 Mark 3 would be better for both photos and videos. After that I've found em5 and em1. Is it better to go with bigger body like em1 or em5?
EM10 mkiii is a good one to start. EM5 Mkii is only fullHD. If you need 4K then I would skip EM5 Mkii. Otherwise its a great camera. EM1 Mkii is one or two steps up from EM10 Mkiii.
@@ForsgardPeter thank you very much for your fast reply. I thought initial investment is important and it's future proof. Right now I am using action cams for my videos but for low light and resolution quality is lower than i expected.
Thanks for the explanation Peter.
I am a little bit confused. Why are these cameras considered "entry level" ? If these 2 models are entry level which model from Olympus is pro level or mid level? Is that the E-M5? Just so its clear I am just getting into Olympus. I have an old pen model and looking to buy either Mark 2 or Mark 3 second hand.
The entry-level models are OM-D E-M10 MKII and MKIII, mid-level is the OM-D E-M5 MKII, and pro level are the E-M1 MKII and E-M1X. All the OM-D series camera s are great for photography.
Hello Peter, I discovered your channel only a few days ago. Its very interesting. Could you be so kind and tell us the difference between "Olympus Viewer 2" and "Olympus Workplace". Thanks from Barcelona, Spain.
Olympus Workspace is a new software and more advanced. I have not really used the Olympus Viewer 2 for a long time.
@@ForsgardPeter I downloaded "Workspace". And it is slightly better than "Viewer 3". Thanks for your answer.
i hope more videso about the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II would it be possible i subscribed
That is a plan that I will do a few more videos about E-M10 MKII
for both cameras; when i have them in M mode, when i turn both shutterspeed and aperture to my liking will it immediately show the exposure on the screen and viewfinder? as in wysiwyg? i mean, turning down the shutterspeed to get a darker image and making the aperture wider to get more light and immediately see the result realtime on the screen/viewfinder? same for changing iso and seeing that in realtime on the viewfinder, so when i click to make the picture the exposure comes out exactly as i saw it on the screen?
thankyou in advance.
Yes it will do that.
Is the only difference between the mark of and III about 4k and better controls in mark ii? You have been very helpful
Yes.
How to setting menu om10 markiii please!
Hi Peter, one quick question I had was related to Timelapse videos, I know mark 2 also does timelapse but because of the default frame rate it's not smooth like you find in newer cameras.. is there a work around to make time lapse smoother on mark 2?
The only way is to take the individual photos and make the time lapse in post. The fastets frame rate is 15fps for in camera timelapse.
@@ForsgardPeter got it.. Thank you for replying Peter.
It's a good body, but that motorized kit lens breaks down a lot. Mine broke then I saw about 10 posts in one year in the Olympus FB group in my country asking why the lens doesn't work any more. Get the body only and pair it with a premium or pro lens.
Thanks for your video. Between E-M10 II (360€) and fuji x-t100 (430€) which one would you choose? I'm newbie. Thanks
Unfortunately I cannot say anything about Fuji. Never tested Fuji cameras.
Great video, thank you! Is there a lens like the 18-200mm available for either of these? I can't think of my other question now. I'll look through your other videos to see if I can think of my other questions. Thank you.🌴
There is a 12-200mm and a 14-150mm lens available from Olympus.
@@ForsgardPeter thanks for all your help!
Hello Peter, it seems that you miss the extended customizability of the E-M10 mk iii/iv vs the mk ii. I tried to contact OM Systems to post a feature request to reintroduce the "set/Mysets" in a next firmware of E-P7 and E-M10iv. I tried via "myOlympus" but no reply. How can I contact them ? Thank you very much in advance.
On OM SYSTEM page try Service & Support. That should get your request forwarded to the right place.
Question : For the Mark II (2) - When you choose all AF point points, All points illuminate on the subject or just one ?
Only one.
Hello made, I have the E-M10 II and I'm considering to by ether the M.Zuiko 40-150mm f2.8 PRO or the M.Zuiko 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO lens for it, do you thing it would be a good idea for this kind of camera, or is it stupid?
Not at all. I have always said that it's better to get some quality glass instead of a new camera body. If you need those lenses, go ahead.
If you go for the pro lenses, I cannot recommend getting the add on grip enough. I have the first E-M10 and the 12-40mm works well, but doesn’t feel good to handle without the grip.
👍
Hi I'm planning to do watches photograph for my project... and decided to go with mark ii... however confuse with right lens.. should go with 30mm f3.5 or 60mm f1.8 or Panasonic 45mm f.1.8? Can you suggest me to create sharp images and focus bracketing.
I would choose a macro lens.
@@ForsgardPeter thanks for the Peter... but the question is I'm confuse to choose which micro lens from options.
it is worth to buy the Mark II in 2019 or do you think it is better waiting the next model ( mark IV) ?? ( i am only interested in photography)
I have no idea when te next version of the E-M1 MKII is coming out. The next model in the line is most likely the E-M5 MKIII. I would say that the E-M1 MKII is worth buying.
enrico lanna Get the Mark ii - I just got mine in July 2019. Very happy - photo only. IBIS is best in Olympus - others catching up. I use both Olympus and Lumix lenses. The old 14-42 R kit lens is great to see which focal lengths you prefer - then buy a prime of that focal length(s).
Hi Peter, is there a big difference between Olympus e-m10 mark iii OM-D E-M1 Mark III regarding quality image?
Yes there is. Different sensor, processor. E-M1 Mark III has better highISO performance. How much that matters for you is another thing. If I was looking for E-M10 camera I would look for E-M10 Mark II or Mark IV.
@@ForsgardPeter I want the OM-D E-M1 Mark III for landscape Photography. All olympus lenses works with this camera? what do you mean when you say "Different sensor, processor"
All Olympus m4/3 lenses an be used with this camera. That the sensor is newer and the processor is more powerful > better image quality
Does this feature with the cilp-video exists also in mark ii. (sorry for me English)
Yes, it does.
How is the autofocus on M10 Mk3 vs Mk 2? Thank you
I have not tested them side by side. Sorry I cannot say anything about that.
Wait, in official specs Mark II also have 4K, found it in specs sheet on Europe Olympus page... so what is right?
OM-D E-M10 MKII has fullHD, no 4K.
Hi, I currently have a Canon 500D with 50mm prime & 28-300mm zoom lens. I’m thinking of upgrading to a Olympus E-M10 II with 14-42mm lens & 40-150mm zoom lens. New upgrade gonna cost me $450 total. Do you think it’s a good move? Thank you.
I would say that with that price it is a good move. Those lenses are all you need unless you need a fast prime like you have now.
Ahh this answered my question; wanted to know if there was a lens compatible similar to an 18-200mm. Thank you!
i am about to buy but i am really confused..bec Olympus will be my very first camera. So which one you recommend E-M10 ii or iii. i love taking pics and videos.
If you need 4K then it is the E-M10 MKIII, but if not then I would go for the E-M10MKII.
@@ForsgardPeter thank you does it make difference with n without mic jack?
Thank you for your work regarding our working tools.
However, with respect, your comment about the panorama mode "only...overlapping images" on Olympus cameras is not entirely accurate.
All Olympus cameras with this mode record the overlap information with the images and stitching is automatic in Olympus Workspace or Olympus Viewer 3 software (and earlier versions of Viewer as well...)
If you open the images in Olympus Viewer 3 or Olympus workspace the images shot in panorama mode are shown with an easy to see tag. Look for the same Panorama symbol/tag seen on the camera mode screen on the software menu options (Fifth from left in Viewer 3 or Workspace) and click.
Now you will be shown only the images captured in panorama mode which are on the card or in the folder you have active in the library pane. Now you can simply drop the panorama photos onto the working canvas of the software in the correct order and they will be automatically stitched for you when you click "Stitch".
Thanks for correcting the mistake. I need to check that out.
How well is Mark iii performs in low light conditions and capturing moving objects?
Low light is always a problem. Moving subjects need a fast shutter speed if you want to freeze the action.. It is always a compromise.
Hi Peter pls mec ....on video extrnal mic Olympus om d e 10 mark !!! ... With connect camera tutorials voice clearly details with mic price in the market
The Mark 10 iii has just upgraded the firmware and now has RC mode for flash.
same on mine
The two 14-42 mm zooms get lens errors after some time. The "please check the status of a lens" error, which is really annoying. If I get another 14-42, I will try the Panasonic.
Sorry to hear that. Did you get it sorted out?
@@ForsgardPeter Hi Peter. Thanks for asking! I got the first 14-42 EZ repaired under warranty but the problem came back in a few months. I had a second EM10 ii with similar lens exvept all black not chrome this time. After a couple of years the same happened to that one! It may be the ribbon cable in the lens breaking or coming unstuck as the lens zooms. There is a repair video on RUclips somewhere and you can see how the ribbon cable runs close to the barrels, so when they move, maybe it can get snagged at some point.
Now I just use the 17mm f/1.8 on one and the 45mm f/1.8 on the other. Both very good for me.👍👍
@@ForsgardPeter ... Update: I just picked up a first version 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO for a good price, so the zoom range is covered again but a much bigger, faster lens and good close focusing at 0.2 metres!
Not completely true.. on the mark III you can choose in M LiveBulb and LiveComposite by going over 60" shutter speed. There you can control exposure as you want.. RC Flash is also available.. the only thing which is may a problem: the stabilisation is jut on and off available.. for me no problem.. don't know when I need a defined stabilisation. all in one.. still a good camera.
The panorama mode on olympus has not changed even even from their old super zooms exposure is locked from the first frame you shoot so if one side of the sky is very light and the other much darker and you start to shoot on the light side the dark side will be too dark. you have to take a random shot in the middle where you want exposure to be then go and shoot your pano shots and delete that first shot before stitching your pano.
You can just make individual images and stitch them in post. Unfortunately you need to use something else than Olympus Workspace then.
OD EM 10 iii vs EM5 mark ii, which one for video¿…
E-M5 mark II is better in my opinion.
Hi Peter! For a difference of 90 € (76 £) would you buy the mark III? I have found both new or mostly new for that difference and I don't know if I should save that money or it's a good opportunity.
Please help me! :)
Both cameras are good choices. If you do more photography than video it does not really matter. I woud go with the MKII version.
What do you exactly mean that the manual mode is more "limited" in the mark III compared to the mark II?
E-M10 mKII has more options to use manual mode.
how long battry low
CIPA official test says 330 images for the E-M10 MKIII and 320 images for the E-M10 MKII.
I’m trying to reset my omd1mk11 but my only option is reset custom settings
You should have an option that says Full reset?
