Olympus OM-D E-M1 MARK II – documentation of menus and options

Gene Tewksbury — Tue, 16 Jan 2018 01:28:45 +0000

The Olympus OM-D E-M1 mark ii is a real beast to understand. I have created a detailed item by item breakdown of this camera's very complex menu system. Find a quick and easy explanation of camera options, tips and recommended settings. If you have purchased this camera recently (or still find it confusing) this menu documentation will save you a great deal of headache and allow you to start using your camera more efficiently.
