“Espen’s videos with practical and easily understood advice were of real benefit to me. I gained a better understanding of the camera’s menu and how to set it up with the ideal settings, and in its use. I felt the benefit of having this knowledge before heading out, for me it was definitely worth the purchase.”

What the course covers

Throughout this course, I’ll show you my top tips on all things OM System Settings.

Arranged around 6 technical modules, each lecture focuses on a specific topic so that you can navigate and consume the content in a way that makes sense for you, and you can dive in and get the exact tips you’re looking for.

Updates to the course

First filmed for the E-M1X I have since updated the course for the newest cameras, including the OM-1 Mark II. The updates are a mixture of PDFs and new videos.

Initial Set Up

I’ll take you through the initial set up, including customising your first menu, creating quick workflows and other useful tips to help optimise your set up. 

Buttons 

In the Button module, I’ll show you my camera button and dial layout, including how I set up my exposure dials for quick on the go shooting in the field. I’ll also cover custom modes for the OM-1, EM1X and EM1ii. 

Focus

The Focus module is a deep dive looking at auto focus settings, back button focus, custom focus points, manual focus, peaking and more.

Special Features 

This module looks at my favourite features that are specific to the OM system, including Pro Capture which enables you to go back in time and never miss another shot. I want you to get the most of these pioneering features and really enjoy using the OM system to the best of your (and its) abilities. I’ll also cover focus stacking, high res mode, live ND shooting, and more.  

Video Settings 

I use my OM System for video and vlogging a lot, and in this module I’ll give you a sneak peek of my custom video settings for the EM1X and EM1ii, as well as taking you through the Super Control Panel (SCP) for video and time lapse settings. 

Settings In The Field

This module looks at using the OM system in the field. Using my real world examples, I’ll show you how my customised settings work in the field. Wildlife photography, and particularly birds in flight, can present some tricky focusing situations, so I’ll show you how I’ve optimised my settings to always be ready. 

Bonus Content

I’ve added a bonus module with a lecture and additional resources that I think will help you get even more from your OM System.

FAQ

Does the course only cover wildlife photography? 

No. You can dive deep into other special camera features like 

• Recording video 
• Exploring Timelapse
• Capturing Star trails
• Mastering special features
• Understanding Focus stacking/bracketing 
• Utilising Composite features

Does this course cover all OM System Cameras?

I originally filmed the course showing the menu of my E-M1X, this is the menu used on all OM System cameras except for the new OM-1 and OM-1 Mark II.

I have updated the course with PDFs and new videos for the OM-1 and OM-1 Mark II.

This way, the course covers all the OM System cameras listed above. However, some of the older camera models and smaller cameras may not have the full range of features such as the E-M1X and newer OM-1 cameras.

Can I download the Videos & PDFs?

Yes. You can download all the videos and PDF's to view when you're offline

Is there a time limit on the course?

No. Once you've bought the course you have lifetime access

Do I have to pay for updates?

No. If I update the course all the updates are received free of charge if you have already purchased the course.

“This is a fantastic course! I've been shooting Olympus for years, but there were so many features that I didn't fully understand and wasn't taking advantage of. The course is very well organized, easy to follow, and broken down into small lessons that allow you to take it at your own pace. Highly recommend!”

Sarah S.

“What I really like with this course, is that it focuses on the user and how to make the best out of the camera systems. And it is made in a way that is very easy to understand and to follow. He always gives you the reason behind his different settings and choices. In that way it makes it a lot easier to understand and to decide if I want to use it or not. 

I will highly recommend the course not only to those who are new to the Olympus system, but also to photographers, who like me, are not professional. But looking to broaden our photographic horizon.”

Arnth Lien

“I’m so grateful that you created a course on how to use the Olympus for Wildlife Photography. At first I was so overwhelmed, but your course is so well laid out and i keep referring to it for each stage. At present I am into Pro Capture. Thanks again, great job Espen. Cheers from Australia”
