Here are the menu changes I've made to my Olympus OMD EM1 MKIII for use in event and portrait photography. Feel free to ask questions below and I'll do my best to respond.
Focus Settings:
1. Back button Focus: Gear - A1- AEL SAF-Mode 3 / CAF - Mode 4 & Half-way AF - Inoperative
a. Button setup - Gear - B - Front button (bottom) - Face Detect ON/OFF
b. Button setup - Gear - B - Front button (top) - Choose Face
2. Orientation linked AF - A2 - Orientation Linked - Target Point Only
3. AF Illuminator - Gear - A3 - OFF
4. MF Clutch - Gear - A4 - OFF
5. Color of inactive AF point Gear - D3 - Display Color - 255 255 255
Exposure and WB:
1. Live View Boost - (now assignable to button and visible in VF) - Gear - B - Button Function - +/-
2. Flash white balance default - Gear - G - flash white balance on
3. Gear D1 Control Settings - turn off Live Control
4. Gear - D1 - Info Settings - LV Info - Custom1 - Histo, H&Shad- Level
5. Warm bias to AUTO WB- Gear - G - Keep warm off
General camera settings:
1. Beep OFF - D4 - Sound Icon - OFF
2. Image Review OFF - Wrench - Rev View - OFF
3. Viewfinder Info - D1
4. EVF Auto switch - Gear - I - EVF Auto switch - ON 2
5. Dual Independent Down - Dual Card Setup
6. Review Magnification - Gear - D2 - Playback Default Setting - Equally Value
7. Dial Function - Gear - B1 - Dial Function
8. Copyright - Gear - 1 you
Video:
1. Huge fix - the exposure settings from you’re stills DO NOT carry over to your video mode so if you like to flip between the two it’s way faster and less confusing
2. Huge fix #2 - AUTO ISO for video in M exposure is now an option
3. Face detect continues to impress
4. Don’t forget to turn on the sound and power for mics
5. Set your dials and buttons to the same functions as your stills if you don’t want to get really confused as you switch between modes this needs to be don via Movie settings page of the menu separately from all stills functions.

Hey Joe, Sure do miss your smiling face. Funny thing, it's after 1 January and my Olympus cameras and lenses still take fabulous photos. I even bought new lenses and I'm thinking about buying a new Olympus camera. The world has not ended, my cameras and lenses have not exploded and I'm having fun making photographs. Ps. my photos have improved thanks to some great advice from a certain photographer from Dallas, Texas.

Ok, went thru this video when I rented an M1 III and now I have bought one, so I just finished video again. Thanks again for doing this. Very helpful to me. I just have to run thru the video settings.

@rickbear7249 4 года назад

Joseph, it's great to see you're adding your creative insight to the de facto Gold Standard series of Olympus How To videos produced by Rob Trek. While Rob Trek is the go-to guy in providing the "101 Essentials" tutorials for mastering Olympus' many and complex menu settings, along with clear explanations and essential understanding, I'm sure Olympus owners will appreciate how you've built upon Rob Trek's complete series by adding your own invaluable insights. Nice one, Rick (UK-based professional photographer and technical educator)

Very helpful video, I hope ;-). I'm picking up my EM-1 Mkiii tomorrow. You have saved me a lot of time for working out the differences between the Mkii & Mkiii (I PX'd my EM1X) for the Mkiii. I'm looking forward to using the Mkiii, now knowing some basics of the new menu & set up features. However I think the Mkii is still an awesome camera. Thanks again for taking time out to help us Olympus users cut through usage tips & tricks. Stay safe

@mr_k4tz 4 года назад

Excellent video as usual. I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it, but there’s a small bass boom every time you move your hands onto the desk. When listening through headphones it’s really distracting (almost unwatchable for me but I suffer from Misophonia). Perhaps some padding between the mic mount and desk would help, or perhaps you could filter out the low frequencies.

Thanks Joseph. I am preparing to rent an EM1 III and a lens or two to test out and consider changing systems and buying an Olympus system. Nothing wrong with my Nikon system (D750 FF plus many lenses), just getting heavy for me and doesn't have the speed and features of Olympus. Full frame sensor was good for me, tho.

Thanks for your great video. A question on back button focus...when you make halfway autofocus inoperative - what is the impact in pro capture mode? It is designed to begin capturing images when your focus button is halfway depressed...???

@JosephEllisPhotographer 4 года назад

Doug Stansfield To activate ProCap you still need to maintain pressure on the trigger even though it won’t be focusing the camera. You’ll always see a green circle indicator in the viewfinder/LCD when ProCap is active.

@hemantpatil7558 4 года назад

@Bakin 4 года назад

Joseph; you have made two recent informative videos discussing the new and improved Continuous Auto Focus (CAF) and Face Detect (FD) of the new Olympus EM1 MKIII. I believe the improvements you were discussing are those improvements specific to the EM1 MKIII and not improvements made to all Olympus cameras as a result of recent firmware upgrades. As a result the CAF and FD improvements you discussed are not applicable (as yet) to the EM1 MKII, EM1X or even the EM5 MKIII. Unless I have missed something here I think there is need for a video comparing CAF and FD of the EM5 MKIII, EM1 MKII, EM1X against the EM1 MKIII.

Joseph; thanks for taking the time to go over all these settings; I'm sure it took a lot of your time to find the best setting for each situation. I'm curious knowing how many settings you have whether you save those settings to a memory card or other device so they can easily be loaded should that ever be required?

You can save them to through the Olympus Workspace software bro.

@blackice5649 4 года назад

Joe - Fantastic video! Thanks for the great insight as usual. I do have a question though. When the the Half Way AF selection is "operative" I am able to see the actual focus point of the picture that was taken cycling through the info choices. When I select "Inoperative" the recorded focus point disappears when I cycle through the info choices. Is there any way to see the recorded focus point while having "Inoperative" selected under Half Way AF?

@spanksen 4 года назад

Hey Joseph, really helpful Video, thank you so much for that. Just one Question - for the EM1MK2 you prefered the S-OVF for Shooting with Flash, now it´s the Live Boost Funktion. Where is the difference between these two modes and why do you prefer Live Boost now? Thank you very much!

@davidalan8824 4 года назад

Joseph, that was Great! Thanks!. Question: how do you turn on phase detect (you mentioned it at the end of the video.)

@PaintedCloudsStudio 4 года назад

I think he meant Face Detect. I don't think you can change Phase detect on the menu.

Hi Joseph - some great tips but somewhere along the way, I've changed something that doesn't allow me to see the histogram itself move when I press the INFO button. The bar moves either side (+/-) but the histogram itself doesn't. What did I change to make this happen?

@hellotorin 4 года назад

Great video! Just picked this camera up the other week. I'm using the Olympus smartphone app and it downgrades my video quality from 4K to FHD when I go to record. Is there any way to prevent this? I'm just looking to use my phone as a 'monitor' and to be able to hit Record and control some of the settings. I'm not so much concerned with being able to transfer or play video back on my phone which is why I think it does this? Thanks again.

@JosephEllisPhotographer 4 года назад

I think it's a bandwidth limitation if you want to get that live feed but if you're just needing to check at the beginning of a recording you could switch the functionality of the app after you get set up to use the "Remote Trigger" option under [gear icon - remote control - remote shutter] and that won't send any video to your phone so you should be good for 4K recording.

@richardpolichetti7757 3 года назад

Hi again- is there a way to lock down all buttons so that while shooting none are accidentally pressed? While on a shoot I accidentally pressed the HDR button on the top left and the camera stopped "regular" shooting. I was stunned for a while and it took me two minutes to figure it out (seemed like forever while on a shoot). Any ideas for this? TY!

@MDMiller60 4 года назад

Video - Phase/Face? detect. Hard to tell which you meant. And, whichever it was, where is it (video time mark)? You didn't say.

@JosephEllisPhotographer 4 года назад

Not sure I understand your question. The EM1.3 has both. Phase detect is a key technology which keeps the camera from hunting for focus and it's been there since the EM1.2. Accurate and usable face detect is unique to the EM1.3., it's the first OMD which I can rely on to accurately track faces for portraiture. I turn it on/off from the super control panel.

hi i followed this to the every word by pausing while i changed my settings when i take a photo now it's black and when i try to auto-focus the camera flickers constantly any ideas what this could be ?

“I don’t like back button focus”…”I press the AEL/AF button to focus and the shutter button to make the exposure”? Let’s Go Brandon.

@Koji-888 5 месяцев назад

Back Button focusing is for certain applications. For me.. I turn it on when I’m shooting birds at my back yard bird feeder. My camera is on the couch next to me. When I see a cool bird I just press the shutter button. The focus doesn’t have to hunt in and out. It’s already perfectly set focused for that exact spot.
