Left & Right Side of OM-D EM 1 Mark II
And our speaker that we've been listening to is there on the back of the camera. Now, it's time for the left side of the camera. All right, so now we get a better view of the diopter that controls the focusing of the viewfinder. So make sure you adjust that for optimum viewing through the EVF. Next up, we have a bunch of little doors that open, and behind door number one is the mic socket. Standard mic jack, three and a half millimeters in size, so for better video, you want better audio. And so you get better audio with external microphones that don't hear all the noise of the camera. We have the headphones standard size jacks so that you can monitor sound, make sure that sound levels are correct in there. We have an HDMI connector, which is Type D, which is four two two uncompressed out for those of you who are gonna be sending this outboard to some sort of external video recording device. And then we have a new USB Type C connector. This is the latest type, so you'll wanna use the l...
atest cords in order to get that information out of the camera, and so that's where you could download straight from the camera if you want to. And so the lens. Some lenses will have lens function buttons. Not all lenses, but some lenses will. A lot of the pro lenses from Olympus will have this, and you can customize that button to do one particular feature by diving into the custom menu and programming that. On to the right side of the camera. We have an additional door, and over here is where we have our remote cable terminal. So for about 60 bucks you can buy the Olympus RM-CB so that you can trigger the shutter release without triggering the camera. So anyone who is doing architectural closeup photography or perhaps they're using that high resolution mode, this would be a good device to have to make sure that you're not touching the camera while you are shooting it. And then we have our card slots where we put our memory cards. Now we have two different slots, the top and the bottom. The top one is UHS two compatible, the bottom one is UHS one. And so you wanna put your faster cards in the top slot. You wanna direct your high-resolution files and your, mostly it's the movie files that you probably wanna shoot. If you're shooting 4K movie, you wanna be directing that to the top slot with a faster card in it. It uses the secure digital cards. The UHS one cards have one row of pins and the two has two rows of pins. And so that's how you know very easily what type of card. The cards can go in either slot, but it's just how fast it will write to those cards. So on the SD cards, we have a lock on the side of it, which will prevent it from getting read or recorded to, so be aware of that. We have different sizes of cards, which is the SD, the HC, and the XC version it. You'll see the bus speed of how fast it can transfer data with the UHS one and two option that we saw earlier. For photographers shooting stills, sports action photographers. You wanna get a very fast card that can read and write information very quickly. Now generally the UHS two cards are gonna have some of the fastest options out there. For those of you shooting video, you wanna be looking at the minimum speed of the card. You want cards that are very fast at keeping up with all of that data that is coming through when you are shooting video. And so if you are shooting video, you probably wanna be using a UHS speed class three card. That'll be identified when you look at cards in the marketplace. And that means that it can handle a minimum of 30 megabytes per second on an ongoing basis. And so that's your information on cards. Now, you can technically download straight from the camera's USB slot. It is rather slow. The camera's not really designed for downloading off the card. I find it a lot easier and faster to use a card reader or to use the computer directly if you happen to have a slot in there. And once you are done downloading your cards, and you've backed it up and you've double checked and triple checked that you backed up your cards, you wanna reformat your cards so that they are set, they've cleaned up all the images, they've cleaned up all the file directory and the ghost images, and you wanna format when you first get your cards or anytime you're going out on a new and important shoot, so that you don't have old data cluttering the communication channel between the card and the camera, so that is something you should do on a regular basis in the camera.

This is exactly what I was looking for - I really feel like I'm not able to control my camera, rather than the camera controlling me! :) I really learned a great deal - some of it was a great review, some of it was crucial information that will (hopefully) make me a better photographer. Thanks for a great class, John!!

This is a great course on learning about the OM-D E-M1 Mark II. I have watched it many times to get to were I know it by memory the best I can. I like to go over it as much as possible because there is a lot to learn. I do wish that John would do an updated version since now it is up to Firmware 3.1. It is like a whole new camera with the new settings.
