WITH THE E-M10 MARK II, YOU CAN CAPTURE….

WITH THE
E-M10 MARK II, YOU CAN CAPTURE….

FROM EVERYDAY MOMENTS TO SPECIAL EVENTS, THE OM-D E-M10 MARK II HAS YOU COVERED

Learn how the OM-D E-M10 Mark II makes it easy to capture these once-in-a-lifetime moments. Pick up a few tips, and discover how to take your photography to the next level.

Milestones

From the last day of school to the first day of camp, easily capture the perfect portrait.

TRY THIS: Add a telephoto zoom or fast prime and put some distance between your child and the background to maximize the beautiful blur effect. Use touch-focus to ensure a crisp shot.

On the field

Don’t miss her first catch or his big goal.

TRY THIS: Set the E-M10 Mark II to “Sport Mode” to optimize your settings for capturing action. Use a telephoto zoom lens to get close, or activate the built-in 2x Digital Teleconverter feature to get even closer with minimal image degradation. Taking video? Capture photos and video at the same time by pressing the shutter button during movie shooting.*

*Video recording method must be MOV. Still images recorded at 3200 x 1800 pixel resolution.

At the Beach

The E-M10 Mark II’s bright OLED viewfinder is larger and easier to see than many entry-level SLR cameras – making it perfect for bright days outside. And since it’s interactive, you can preview effects, focus and other settings, too.

TRY THIS: When shooting outside, faces may appear dark due to the backlight. Force the E-M10 Mark II’s built in flash to fire to easily compensate.

Birthdays

Don’t ruin candle-lit photos with a flash. The E-M10 Mark II can shoot in low light with less noise than typical compact or smartphone cameras. Powerful 5-Axis IS helps you avoid blur, making handheld shots possible – even in darker environments.

TRY THIS: Change white balance to “outdoor shade” to capture the tone of the ambient light of the candle.

School Plays

Shhh!! Don’t disturb the actors - or the other parents! With the E-M10 Mark II’s powerful 5-Axis Image Stabilization, bringing a tripod is definitely optional!

TRY THIS: Use “Silent Shutter mode” to turn off all focusing and shutter capture noises. Avoid subject blur by increasing your ISO so you can shoot at faster shutter speeds. Plays and recitals are also a great place to capture HD video.

Halloween

Create impressive otherworldly effects right in your camera.

TRY THIS: Have your child jump in the air, and use the E-M10 Mark II’s high-speed 8.5 fps burst mode to capture a shot that looks like they are flying! Add filters like Dramatic Tone for increased creepiness, use the “Partial Color” Art Filter to only display a single color in the image.

Art Filter: Dramatic Tone

Holidays

Go beyond simple smartphone photos and photograph the holidays in memorable ways.

TRY THIS: Use a lens with a fast aperture – like the M.45mm f1.8 for impressive indoor portraits and low-light shots. Artistically blur Christmas trees, gift boxes and the like by adjusting the E-M10 Mark II’s “movement” slider in iAuto. Or, kick up the festive spirit by dialing up a creative Art-Filter like Diorama mode, Soft Focus or Pop Art.

Everyday

Backyard bubbles. Making crafts. Cartwheels at the park. Capture these simple, but fleeting moments with impressive detail so you’ll remember them for years to come.

TRY THIS: For more natural photographs, don’t draw too much attention to the camera. Stay back and use a telephoto zoom lens, or, if you are close, try using a small lens. Try changing your perspective by using the E-M10 Mark II’s tilt screen.
