The Pen 5 is an amazing camera - however it is capable of so much that getting to know it can be somewhat overwhelming at first. John systematically and logically works through every part of the camera in really clear and easy to understand steps, quickly converting my initial apprehension into confidence and excitement for the endless possibilities of this camera.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course as it told so much about my camera that would have taken awkward searching through the manual to find out. Concise yet fully detailed this serves as a great introduction to a great camera.

Easiest way to learn about any new camera's menus, controls, etc. Time well spent.
