Re: E-M5 II settings

There is a page on E-M1/10 where much of the info is common to all Olympus bodies, it may be of help in understanding the settings http://www.biofos.com/mft/omd_em1_settings.html

My only bit of added advice is to take raw+jpeg from day 1 even if not intending to use the raw files in the beginning.

Deal with the storage issues up front and be prepared to keep and have backups of your raw+jpeg files forever.

Later as you get more involved then going back to the raw files and creating better or different jpegs from them will be of benefit.

Yeah, there's no reason not to do this, it's like keeping the negatives or the CD for an album you've ripped. Going back to the original unprocessed content yields better results when doing more processing, and storage is so cheap these days.

Only time where shooting RAW + JPEG might be detrimental is when burst shooting... Although I've read the E-M5 II keeps going at a pretty good clip even with a full buffer (provided you're using a UHS-II card), I'm looking forward to testing that. Seems like an underrated perk.
