Description
Welcome to The Complete Guide To The OM System OM-1 * The best help in the world on the OM-1!
Tony says:
I wrote this book for YOU!
It seems OM System set out to out-Olympus Olympus with the OM-1. And perhaps they succeeded. It is certainly a great camera - with a lot of Olympus DNA - and something OMS mystically calls the "Dark Horse" factor. Certainly, we have a right to be cautious of a "new" company releasing a loved camera lineage.
But here it is. The same, different, better, faster.
If you want to master your OM-1, this book was written for you.
Get it all without days of trawling the web - from an expert who's written multiple books on this camera lineage. Someone who can spot, and explain the difference - and make clear how everything works. And better yet, how to use it! And all in language meant for humans, with a book structure designed for subject mastery.
It is way more than just a Manual on Steroids... In it, I assume you are a photographer, so I build on that knowledge.
This 470-page ebook:
* Is packed with over 900 tips and tricks to help you master photography with an OM-1.
* Covers every mode, menu, button, function, switch and socket.
* Covers Lighting - even Manual flash & light modifiers!
Plus
* Discover all my camera settings - including why I do it that way.
* Covers every essential of shooting - IE: ISO, Focus, WB, Metering, flash modes - and the more esoteric ones too.
* Understand how and why to customize buttons and menus.
* Read a great treatise to help you master the ins and outs of RAW, and RAW specific shooting.
Grab this book and have at your fingertips 470-pages of OM-1 info, with detailed Table of Contents, Indexing, and extensive hyperlinks. There is no better way to learn how to get the most out of what is arguably one of the best-designed cameras on the planet.
