Olympus E-M1 Fast Start with John Greengo

John does an excellent job of making the OMD E M1 understandable. His knowledge of the camera and relaxed style clearly and painlessly walk you through the maze of buttons, menus, and functions. He objectively points out the strengths of the camera as well as those things Olympus could of done better. His opinions of the camera are consistent with other knowledgable reviewers, and are consistent with my own (limited) experience. The manual tells you every little thing the camera CAN do. John helps you understand what is important to get the best use of the camera in most situations.

When moving over to 4/3 mirrorless and Olympus after being a NIKON user for over 40 years, I needed help understanding Olympus' menu. John fulfilled my needs. However, his dislike of the camera made it difficult to follow his lead. I did enjoy his explanations of the menu in spite of his negative feelings. I agree it is difficult to follow and even more difficult for me to remember as I am 83 years old. I think as the owner of this video course, John should consider re doing this video and include the new upgrade as of 12/2015 as it will help me even more. I would be happy to pay additional for his help learning this upgrade's advances. All in all I thank you John for helping me get into the Olympus mirrorless 4/3. I do enjoy the new PRO lenses..

Wow! The M-1 has a lot of options but John does a terrific job of making them understandable. His style is relaxed and endearing. It seems to me the goal in taking photographs is to be able to devote all one's effort into composing the photograph.... which means that setting the camera for the particular shot needs to be as effortless and instinctive as it can be. JG has set me on that road with my M-1 and for that, I thank him.

I love the simplicity of John Greengo's training. Having just purchased my first mirroless camera I wanted any easy to follow procedure. I agree with John that the way he presents his Tutorials is First Class. Keep up the good work John.

I learned quite a bit from the class. John Greengo is a great teacher. I just purchased an Olympus OMD EM1 and this class allowed me to learn the camera quickly. By going through all the menus and settings I learned what was important to me and what was not. This saved me considerable time in becoming proficient with this camera.

Once again this fast start Video is just great as where the preveous two I purchased.I'm understanding all my cameras better.Thanks to John

John is a very good teacher, and this is indeed a useful class. Class material is excellent as always. But I don't think this is his best work. He seems to be too conflicted with Olympus' menu systems and design decisions (which I admit, are a bit strange) to give the students a clear picture of the full potential of their new gear. He also fiddles/struggles with the camera a bit too much in all the live demonstrations. I would recommend this class only to absolute photography beginners and not really to people with any experience.

this is an excellent tutorials for EM1. you have got to learn all of your camera options and functions. I wish olympus camera comes with this tutorials. Highly recommended

Three simple words, " Thank you John " I have really enjoyed the course. The OMD EM1 is a wonderful camera, and with the clear guidance of this course I feel instantly at home with all its capabilities. Clear concise instructions delivered in a faultless manner. A joy to watch.
