ABOUT JOHN'S CLASS:

The Olympus OM-D E-M1X is one of the best lightweight cameras on the market -- but the menu system is complex and the camera's advanced tools can be hard to decipher solo. Ditch the instruction manual and maximize the potential of the E-M1X by learning from expert photographer John Greengo.

The Fast Start class covers the camera's controls, features, menu system and more. From basics like taking your first picture to advanced topics, by the end of this class, you'll be able to expertly use the E-M1X’s many features. Learn how to use the advanced features like the High Res mode and in-camera focus stacking and find shortcuts for the most frequently used settings.

Customize your camera to your shooting style by setting custom controls and settings. Walk through the different options and learn John's recommendations for each setting. Finally, set up a pre-shot checklist and learn how to adapt the camera to different types of images.

  • Photographers just picking up the E-M1X for the first time
