Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II Fast Start with John Greengo

A perfect kick start to this camera. Everything in detail, and no need afterwards to read back the whole manual.

Great video, just what I needed for the two Olympus OM-D EM10 I own.

Thanks to my friend who gave me this course as a gift. John has described every function in a great and easy way to understand (even i'm just learned up to class 4 so far). A negative comment about completely different selection comparing to the class instructions probably due to the setting on the camera. I came across same thing at first. Make sure adjust it back to the factory setting then you'll get the same as shown in the video. I'll definately join more of his classes in the future.

John is one of my favorite instructors and I really enjoyed this class. Just got this camera after Christmas and I'm loving it so far and can't wait to get out and use it more. Love Creativelive and thank you for all the wonderful classes!

The class was very well presented by John Greengo. It's well worth the cost of the class.

Great way to jump in and get started with the EM10 Mark II! John Greengo is a great instructor. I really like the fact that the multitude of menu options were covered/explained and that John gives his suggestions for the best settings and why.

Using the camera for a few weeks before jumping in really helped me to understand all the instruction. Based on the course, I feel much more comfortable with deciding which functions I will use and which to forget about, at least for now. Based on my utilization of the many lessons, I feel that the content was just about right for me. The instructor used good judgement when determining how much time to spend on every element. The parts that he spent less time discussing was still enough information for a student to learn on their own (homework is good!). Going back into the lessons to review an area has been very easy. I am sure I will be accessing this course for some time. There were a few areas that didn't seem to match up with my camera, but I plan to do some investigating into software version differences and what I may have done incorrectly before I jump to whiplash causing conclusions. The "Fast Start" title bothered me at first. I have seen presentations that are called tutorials which appeared to be simply sales hype. Based on my experience, you have a winner. I hope that I can find additional courses from this group that are of interest to me. Thank you for all the work that you put into this presentation, Raymond Bohn A Greatful old film guy

Really informative and helpful. John is a natural teacher. I am not sure though how to set mysets which I would like to do.

In the area "Back Side Features" you lost me 5 minutes in. I have no idea how you got those two images to come up next to each other. I spent a lot of time trying to duplicate your actions but clicking info did NOT bring two screens up next to each other. I also tried looking in my manual and found nothing there on it either. What am I missing? Thanks, Chris

Absolutely excellent course, clear and practical advice.

Great intro to the extensive menu system on this camera, it re. John's presentation is extremely clear and his recommended settings cheat sheet is helpful.

This class looks like the Olympus OMD E-M1 Mark 2 when you search online, not the E-M10 Mark 2.

After the Mark II came out, I picked up the first-generation OM-D E-M10 on Amazon for $399, which was an awesome deal. It allowed me to do what I've been wanting to do for a long time, which is to go beyond point-and-shoot and begin to learn how to do "real" photography. I checked with John before signing up for the course to be sure it would work for me with the earlier version of this camera. So far, most of what he's covered is on my camera as well as the II, if somewhat differently placed, and I've had no trouble following along. I find it especially helpful that he tells you what settings don't matter if you are shooting in RAW, as I am. I've also got John's Fundamentals course, but I'll wait until I'm totally familiar with my camera from watching this course several times before diving into that one. I like John's teaching style.

Greetings I joined the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II Fast Start class under Mr. Greengo. I have been using this camera for about 7 months and thought I could handle it well. This class taught me so many aspects of the camera from the word go. Very clear concise but illuminating with well placed illustrations and photos for easy understanding by all. Mr Greengo's English was very precise and clear even though he had to speak fast to cover all of the important aspects within a set time. The advice pass over was clearly from a person who was a master of his subject. I enjoyed the class very much and have signed up for more classes on Creativelive and photography my the same instructor. Well done Sir and thank you for your good advice. I recommend this class to all who have decided to reward themselves with this little miracle camera this Christmas.
