I can't tell you how many times I watched these videos, Brian...well maybe I don't have to. I'm also glad they're here because they're a great resource for rechecking what I think I understood.

Even though I feel much more secure about my camera, there's still a great deal I know that I'm not taking advantage of and need to have a better handle on. I plan on sitting down and coming up with some observations/questions and adding them to the appropriate "part" in order to get some feedback.

Many thanks, again!

I ran thru' Brians series of setup Videos...for any new Ep-2 owner these videos are a must ... I became very familiar with the Advanced menu settings as I set up my new Ep-2 stepping thru' the Vidoe's, much easier the reading the manual on the advanced settings.

The Videos make much more sense of the settings and the menu system than the otherwise good manual.

I currently use all bar 1 or 2 settings from Brian's Video setup.

This camera is simply a joy to use and looks delightfully retro (It now has an Oly leather 1/2 case.

Thank's Brian

John

Hey Brian, again great job. any newbe to this camera will get a hugh advantage from watching. Quality and audio is great.... maybe add a really simple title page with mu43 logo and site address....I dont think music is needed either.....but thats my take. Nice job there bro.

Thanks John, Pete... Please feel free to recommend any new E-P1/2 owners to the vids by linking here - the videos are just a springboard for help we can give in discussion through this forum.

I'm glad they seem to be helping people - maybe I'll do some more in due course

Cheers

Brian

As I shoot with a GF1, my comments may be superfluous. I want to acknowledge and thank you for taking the time to put these videos together. If I were considering an EP2 I would find these very useful in terms of content and the logical progression of instruction.

Even though I don't own an olympus camera I found these fun to watch :)

Thanks!


It seems that the EP-2 menu is more complicated and less intuitive compared to my GF1. But it seems to have some extra features, wich I would gladly take. This is of course my personal preference. But even though I consider the GF1 menu quite intuitive, I couldn't figure out how to make a set of videos like these, since the different modes in GF1 have different AND same menu options.

Hope you don't mind, this is just my two cents :-)

Thanks for this useful series of videos, Brian. Just a quick question. What focus settings on the E-PL1 do you find most convenient? I noticed that on the EP2, you use the AEL/AFL button to trigger the AF, and the function button for face detection. However the E-PL1 only has one of these two buttons...

I currently set autofocus to single point AF (on my E-PL1), and the function button to AEL. I also turned off the automatic playback of the picture just taken, since it seems to make the shot-to-shot time appear faster. (in reality, if you squeeze the shutter, the E-PL1 will automatically exit playback and take the shot, but for some reason, the camera feels faster with playback off)

many thanks for this effort!

How much difference is the EPL-1 and EP-2 set up. Or is there a set up for the EPL-1 that I haven't located?
Thanks!
