Mastering the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Details
From the Author This book was delayed for a few weeks to allow us to incorporate detailed information on the changes made to the camera's menu system and extra features added by the firmware updates 2.0 and 3.0. It provides information on all the camera's features, including the brand new ones introduced during the October 2014 and February 2015 camera updates.

Reviews
I am a Nikon (land based) photographer and have seen, skimmed and purchased a number of books on camera operation thru the years. Manuals that come with these fabulous cameras are woefully inadequate, sometimes they are worse than no manual. This is my first Olympus camera and I plan to use it underwater. Darrell Young's book Mastering the OM-D E-M1 stands out from the crowd in its comprehensiveness and clarity.To get the value from this camera one must learn how to configure it for easy access to its capabilities without using the touch screen! I am a pretty advanced camera user ( highly skilled but not professional) and can usually pick up a camera and figure out most of the basic stuff without much challenge. Same for this camera, however to use the camera for my intent requires accessing the advanced features, configuring buttons and levers, all without using the touch screen. Thanks to this book I've shortened my learning curve and then some. This book has exceeded my expectations! One other note - rather than re-state the things that ARE in the manual, this book (e version) provides links to the appropriate tables and contentThank you to Darrell for such a comprehensive and well organized book.
