Thank you for such an informative and straight forward walk-through video! REALLY useful.

I should have watched this a year ago! Ha! Thanks for the detailed explanation. Now I will enjoy my OM-5 even more. Oh, and your English is much better than my Czech. Thanks, again!

Thank you for this clear and interesting explanation. I am very happy with my OM-5 and am getting to know my camera better and better thanks to your channel and thus have more fun shooting. Greetings from the Netherlands

I am new to the OM-5. I watched this video after using the OM-5 for a couple months. It is a wonderful, very helpful tutorial in explaining focus settings. Thanks!

I learned more important and useful info for getting the best out of my new OM-5 than I have seen in any video out there so far. Thank you!

This is the best instruction on focusing I've seen. I learned a lot. Thanks so much!

Thank you for the outstanding overview of the complex focusing features of the OM-5.

So helpful! I watched the video and had a photoshoot this morning (bellydancers) and it went so well. Thank you!!! I love my new OM Systems 5, fun camera.

Just bought an OM5. Thanks for this video.

Great video, many thanks. 🎉

PERFECT, very useful, thank you

Thank you so much for your feedback!

Very useful and thank you for a ver clear explanation.

Thanks for watching this video. Let me answer some of your questions, which you had in the Live stream. Q: Will this session include OM-1 focusing? A: No, this is based on the OM-5 and OM-D camera menu design. We can prepare a separate OM-1 focusing stream in the future. Q: What is the best setting for eye focusing? A: You can set the face detection and set it up to detect either the left or right eye, so that you have control over precise focusing on a specific eye. You can also choose a single point AF area and point it at the eye. Q: Is there any way to lock the focus point in place? My palm keeps hitting the arrow pad and moving the focus points. A: Yes, you can disable the arrow pad (turn it OFF) in Button function setting. Then you should set up one of the Fn buttons to recall the AF Area Select feature, to be able to activate the focusing grid and move AF points. Q: Is it OK to leave the camera on C-AF all the time, even when shooting still subjects? A: Yes, you can do it. Many photographers use this setting. Many others, including myself, prefer S-AF when shooting stills. Q: What kind of grip are you using on your OM-5? A: It is the original ECG-5 grip accessory. explore.omsystem.com/us/en/ecg-5-external-grip Q: Is there a way to change how much the magnify function magnifies with manual focusing? A: Yes. Once you are in the magnifying mode and the image is enlarged, move the front or rare dial. In the left corner you will see the magnification going from 3x, 5x, 7x, 10x to 14x. Q: How many of these OM-5 presented features are in E-M1 Mark III. A: Basically all of them, as OM-5 has almost all the functions of E-M1 Mark III.

Thank you, very very useful ¡¡¡¡¡

Really helpful video. Thank you.

Excellent presentation

On the OM-1 how to I use the camera to measure a distance so I can set it in the AF limiter?

Hi, first, thank you for this video. It's now clear that it's a very complex camera. I thought to make pictures straight out of the box but Indid run in to a lot of misfocussing. I am used to Canon just 1 button and select the AF modem and area. I came to the conclusion that the OM will not work for me.Just to complicated. I need to be able to point and shoot without having to go into a menu.I troed but even with portrets I just can't get the eyes sharp, very frustrating. Anyway thanks again it helped me to make clear this camera is not easy and will cost a lot of time to get to know.

Chapter heading would be nice in a one hour video ?

Very good job! 👏👏

I am new to the OM system - please can you tell me if SAF can be taken off the shutter button when BBF is set on the AEL/AFL

Thanks for the excellent talk. Q: When using focus peaking for manual focussing assistance, is the depth of field represented in the LCD screen while varying the aperture? For instance, if I close the aperture (increasing the depth of field) then there is an increases in the depth of the area with peaking (red) dots...? Thanks again!

I’m new to OM-5 this I very useful Hank you

Glad to hear it!

I can’t get the focus areas to stick in Auto mode. PASM works fine. Is that correct?

How do I get that button/home AF on the OM-1? I used to use it a lot with the older cameras, but I can’t make it work on the OM-1.

@edwardrussell5413

You could try tapping the joystick in

It’s still not clear to me when I should use C-AF or rather C-AF+TR.

Can the focus also be highlighted when AF is working? Coming from a Lumix camera I found this feature handy

Yes, if you choose to use the AF AREA POINTER - ON2 option, in CA-F the in focus AF grid will be always visible, even if it shifts withing the AF group. On OM-D models its Menu>Gear>A2. On OM-1 its Menu, AF tab, page 3

30:00 "greenish yellow" . top left battery indicator is definetly green

41:08 turned out your nose also moves your focus targeting point if you hold the camera with both hands.

Which Zuiko lens is pictured in the thumbnail?

It's the 12-45mm lens :)

Is there a way to quickly centre the focus point. By 1 press of a button. Is it possible.

@Sunkissed1968

Just hold down the OK-button

If the green dot on the upper right corner, when focussing, is flashing, what does that mean?

@OMSYSTEMCameras

3 күн бұрын

On OM-D models this dot is lt when locked in focus and disappears when focus is not achieved. Flashing may indicate refocusing in a CA-F situation.

Great, but no help on how to back button focus, which is the one setting I cannot work out how to set up.

Back button focus is already set up … at least in mode 3 and 4. Go to AEL/AFL PART OF A1 menu … click to right until it shows what the mode settings are. I also disabled Half Way AF so that it wouldn’t be confusing.

No offense, but modern digital cameras, especially OM System, got me thinking of my Leica M-3 back in 1976.

et en francais ???????? marre des sous titres pas bien traduits

Or, just carry pencil and paper to draw out the image. Perhaps quicker?

If you really value closed captions it could be worth getting a Google pixel phone. The recent models have built in AI that can do real time captions for any video/audio.

I watched the replay, clicked on the CC button (bottom R menu), and it worked perfectly. You can adjust the color & background, too.

Well, that was a total bust.
