Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III: Video Menu Settings Walk Through for Beginners ep.236 

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks, Roy.

Thanks. Yes, that is exactly what I do. I program the ael/afl button for focus in video and use the shutter button to start recording. Could be a nice short video.

Thanks, Marek.

Thanks for the tip! I'll try it.

Thank you!

@@RobTrek thank you for your detailed explanation, it is super helpful!

I use the E-M1 Mark II with the 12mm f/2.0 lens. The E-M5iii doesn't operate while charging via usb. Best to carry some spare batteries. The new E-M1iii does operate while charging.

@@RobTrek thx Rob! Think I'll be sticking with the iphone for now for streaming and just use the camera for videos.

Thanks, Plato. Maybe the next one.

Weird.

I believe it is. However, double check with Red35 Jimmy Cheng.

Thanks, Leon.

Thanks, Michel.

Yes it does. Make sure the "touch icon" is set on the live view screen. It can be turned on or off.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Movie+Still not available on the E-M5 III.

You're very welcome!

Hi. Watch my other video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3c_xP6fK3AY.html If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. -Rob

I'm still on Firmware version 1.0, using Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III.

I have a dedicated live view boost video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yGCrhNHxfm0.html Here is one on metering: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nuYqHXQoZ58.html Hope that helps. Thanks. -Rob

For the most part. The EM5-ii has other limitations like no 1080p 120fps, no flat profile, etc..

Hi. You usually can just push the OK button and it should come up by default. You can watch this for more details: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yhzLg_Wwjs4.html Let me know if you still need help. -Rob

Thanks. Yes, 4k video records sound.

@@RobTrek thanks rob,you mean in ck4 also

Hi. You can assign buttons to Peaking and Magnify (punch in focus) in the video menu. You can use Peaking and Magnify before starting a recording. After starting a recording, you can enable Peaking but not Magnify. Hope that helps. -Rob

@@RobTrek Yes, it helps a lot. Spending some time with the camera I programmed the peaking, and it works well---better than the G9. Over all, the camera has one deal breaker: no auto ISO while filming video. Too bad, because the stabilization and IQ are both excellent, and the DCI feature is also fine. Terrible menu---confusing for video, but would be worth putting up with, but the peaking switches off automatically and, again, the lack of ISO auto is a full deal breaker. I'm a fully manual video shooter about 80% of the time, but there are instances that auto ISO is essential. Bummer. Thanks so much for the response. Just as a side comment, this video is woefully inadequate at actually telling viewers what they need to know about video and video features. Not everyone is enslaved by a camera's autofocus. Some of us are real film makers, and need to know about all the assists cameras provide in facilitating auto control. I did a five part video series on the Canon XC-15 that did not leave our essential features of what the camera provides and how to use them. I would suggest you add at least another third part for this series, because the first two only answered a small part of my questions...maybe 20% of them as a video shooter.

​@@avarmadillo I'm glad you were able to make what is available work. Yeah, no auto-iso. I appreciate the feedback on my video. I'm not a serious videographer, so wouldn't even know where to begin talking about any video assist features. Like I totally missed focus peaking and punch focus, nevermind features that are missing like auto-iso in manual mode, scopes, etc. I think the best option for Olympus owners is to either get a Ninja 5 or invest in a more serious video camera like a GH5.

Rob Trek GH5: terrific. But I don’t think Pani color science is nearly as good as Olympus. I just wish Olympus would fix menus and put some effort into making a good video oriented cam like the GH5. I’d switch.

@@avarmadillo Supposedly Olympus is going to focus on video going forward, so we'll see. I just checked my E-M1 Mark III, and it does have Auto-ISO in Manual mode for video. It's limited between 200-1600. Still no punch to focus during recording though.

Any V30 card will support c4k. It has a sustained video write speed of 240mbbps. c4k on Olympus is 235mbbps.

@@RobTrek great- thank you Rob

Hi. The only thing that should cause this is when the mode dial is in Movie mode. Try changing to a photo mode (P,A,S,M). If that fails, try doing a full reset. Let me know if that worked. -Rob

@@RobTrek a full reset. Holly Moly, I have spent hours clicking here and there after watching your videos (the best 👏👏👏👏👏) so that option I prefer not. Nevertheless again thanks for the help (writing from France, Nice, if you come, come and visit). PS just discovered that I have an other feature greyed out : C-AF. Is it possible that is the case because I am using the modest kit lens 14-42mm ? This goes together with "full timeAF" also greyed out as well as focus peaking which is in the Manual assist box where "magnify" is available but not peaking. I just acquired the beast so all these inception issues are to be expected. Something must go wrong before.... 🙏🙏🙏🙏. PS/2 just found out that C-AF and full time AF are only available for video mode. Wonder why? Pending is the issue with focus peaking. I come from Sony where it is standard ?! Just realized that focus peaking is not consistent with the kit lens lacking a focusing ring

Hi. Full specs can be found here: www.getolympus.com/us/en/e-m5-mark-iii.html 4096×2160(C4K) / 24p / IPB(approx.237Mbps) 3840×2160(4K) / 30p, 25p, 24p / IPB(approx.102Mbps) 1920x1080(FHD) / 30p, 25p, 24p / ALL-I (A-I), IPB(SF, F, N) 1920x1080(FHD) / 60p, 50p / IPB(SF, F, N) 1280x720(HD) / 60p, 50p, 30p, 25p, 24p / ALL-I (A-I) , IPB(SF ,F ,N)

Hi, Frank. I will try to help you. We need to setup a baseline. First go into shooting menu 1 and select "Reset/Custom Modes" --> "Reset Full" --> "Yes". Turn the mode dial to "Movie Mode". The default recording should be "4k 30p". Now put the memory card in. It should be a 32gig+ v30, but any class 10 card should work. Now format the card in-camera. "Setup Menu" --> "Card Setup" --> "Format". When that's done, push the record button. Look in the bottom right. There should be a timer that counts down from 29:00. That is 29 minutes: 00 seconds. Let the camera record for 5 minutes. It should now read 24:00 or less. Let me know if that worked.

Never mind...just as I thought....user error....MINE.
