    Nice video thanks for that. What would you best setting be for a local band playing in local bar? Cheers

    Do you ever consider taking the EM10 III on a Wedding Shoot as an additional body/lens-holder? Why, or why Not? Thanks! VERY clearly explained!

    Thanks Joseph, clear enough for me (explanations / tutorials)

    Thank you!! That was very helpful!

    I have this camera and haven't been exploring it nearly enough, but this video was a great kickstart of inspiration for me, and my first time on your channel, so I hope to find more content on this camera!

  7. Nycole Kelly says

    Super useful and easy tips – thank you!

    Nice video thanks! I bought my EM-10mkiii just before Xmas primarily as a smaller camera that I’d be more likely to take with me on random outings over a larger body. And it fits that bill perfectly.
    One thing I’m trying to figure out is how it handles highlights, I’m not keen on the rolloff at the mo, been playing around with settings but it still doesn’t seem to cope with high contrast situations brilliantly.
    I’m mainly shooting JPEG over RAW for how I want to use it. Wondering if you have a video up or any tips for highlight control in there. Cheers 🙂

    One of the best video for this camera… Thanks

    Just brought the camera glad I listened to you explain some of the functions it was so well done so I could understand since I am a visual learner.

  11. AbdulAziz Ahmed says

    Please do as many videos as possible for this camera, thanks

  12. AbdulAziz Ahmed says

    What is the best wide angle lens you recommend for this camera?

    Thanks Joseph, just bought it and enjoyed your tips. I did notice I had the 2* digital on – found out as when I viewed the Focus point controller it only shows a row of 5 boxes wide, not the 11 if you don't have it turned on. So that's an extra way to know you have it on !:)

    Very helpful video. Glad someone linked this channel on the M43 subreddit.

    Joseph, I’m also a Olympus shooter and I enjoy your channel very much! You mentioned the 2x digital converter and more or less dismissed it just as I did when I switched to Olympus. I’d suggest you take a closer look at the digital converter if you are shooting any jpegs. I most often shoot jpegs and this has become one of my favorite and most used camera features. It effectively makes a prime lens into two primes lenses, a more macro lens, and doubles a zooms range. I’m not a pixel peeper, but I see no bad results, and now use it without thinking about it. I’m retired, but I still shoot for the hospitality industry several times a year. Websites, wall prints in the rooms, and sometimes very large images are made from my little cameras.

    Joseph, great points. It was very useful for me. I use the E-M10 ii and enjoy the small size and the lightweight portability. For serious photography I take the E-M1 ii, but for daily use this one is just perfect.
    One thing I don't understand is why is the mark III rated less than the mark II ???

  17. Peter Ancona says

    Great job of explaining the E-10 III. Very useful.

    Thanks for this video!
    This camera is a genuine "keeper." The features are amazing – some of which, NO OTHER camera maker has – and the image quality is outstanding. A little pricey for a collection of lenses, but for the quality, super flexibility, and lasting value you get in this camera, satisfaction is assured. I have the M5 II and M10 II and could not be more pleased.
