Why this book?

The OM-D E-M1 II is a great camera that implements sensor-shifting in order to achieve a whopping 50 megapixels out of its outstanding Micro Four-Thirds sensor!  Its engineers also gave it one of the most customizable and nuanced user interfaces ever. While a good move, even experienced users will sometimes need help getting their arms around all of the different permutations of features or groups of features spread across different menus.

In this detailed and easy-to-read reference, professional photographer Tony Phillips simplifies the complexity and provides the shortest learning curve for this infinitely-configurable camera. 

This 444-page, full-color e-book:

* Is packed with over 500 tips and tricks to help you master photography with an E-M1 II.

* Includes all the author’s camera settings - with explanations.

* Explains why all glass (Olympus lenses) are not born equal.

* Provides an explanation of every function in plain English, with relevant menu items grouped together so you can get a good feel for all of the features' dependencies.

* Includes a step-by-step guide to Wi-Fi & the Smart Phone app, including cool things to do with it.

* Has a great, rational exploration of RAW vs JPG.

The book is really (can't put it down) really great ... such a relief to find a friendly conversational style of writing (so different from the manual). Roland Herrera

"Your book is the most informative one of all the Fuji X books or ebooks that I own with lots of tips that I hadn't been aware of." - Michael Zapf

"The guide is brilliant, thanks! Very useful indeed." - Nick Edwards

"First, I would like to congratulate you for this great book you wrote. I am impressed by the level of details. This is a very complete document, that is extremely useful. Well well well done ! I needed this book desperately." - Fabian Longo

"I owned the x100 for a few years and upgraded to the x100s about 9 months ago.  I was pretty familiar with the camera, and have many years of (amateur photographic) experience, but your Complete Guide to Fujifilm's X100s Camera has expanded my knowledge in many ways." - Paul Rogers

"As an ebook it's rather good, written with the more experienced hobbyist in mind and not just a re-write of the manual. For my money it's better than the other X100S book and is worth a read."  - Nippa
