GerrySiegel Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Interesting. I posted this same photo on a Facebook group I have joined. Called OMD EM-1 worldwide shooters group. Got 30 comments in two hours. Popular book. Enjoyable photos posted on that FB page by users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliot1 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 <p>Not really, I find the EM1 pretty easy to use and its built-in help menu and manual adequate enough when I do have concerns. The reviews on that book seem to be favorable so far. What are your thoughts on it at this point? Does it have a section of mastering continuous AF? I just updated the firmware to 3.0 last night and hope it improves CAF. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerrySiegel Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Correction. I meant to say this group is called OMD shooters, i.e. not limited to the one model. Most of the members seem to be using the EM-1 however. It is an enjoyable camera and there are some great examples shown . I am one who seeks to get the last drop of functionality, including video and networking. Olympus manuals are inclusive but not engaging to the last drop...

elliot1 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 <p>I find the video to be pretty good (not all agree). My only issue is AF - I typically only shoot video using MF. Perhaps the book will provide some AF tips you can share with us.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerrySiegel Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Tip One. 1)Buy the book or download the Kindle version if you are interested in mastery deal. That way you get periodic updates from the author himself. True. Such a deal you won't get for the price of a ND filter. Tip 2) .. Buy low and sell high....good bet I hear. 3)Fly Canada Air to Vancouver for good nature stuff and take the dollar rise as a prize for lower airfares. 4) Get a passport just for the fun of it. 5) Consider Tenba bags for mirrorless design friendliness. 5) Take a yoga class...6) See what Darrel says about clever use of Color Creator and how he uses Art filters for fun and profit.....7) Buy the Joby nylon strap in gray or bright green...green is fun and will stand out in a crowd! Thass about it for this year on this subject. Oops.Time for PBS Newshour.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_cook Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 <p>I just ordered this. I'll let you know what I think not that it matters. Hopefully it has some step-by-step instructions for setting up custom menus, etc. That's the help I need.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
