Reviews
Finding yourself with an expensive, complex Olympus Pen I.L.C. (Interchangeable lens camera) will only be complicated by lack of an organized, understandable Owners manual. The definition of Olympus documentation is precisely that, disorganized, cryptic, and confusing. You will need David Busch's Guide as a primary reference both in start up and long term support.I have the Kindle edition; continue to read technical insights and methods now two years as an owner of the EP 2. Well written and supported by concise guidance on every aspect including optimizing video.There are several different ways to do the same thing with the Pen. Busch spends considerable time with such options. Focus management is a good example. His Explanations are backed up with Appropriate and well illustrated figures.I use an author's Table of Contents and Index detail as a forecast of usefulness. Both are well organized and thorough in this Guide. Also links within the particular specialty Chapters lead you to additional supporting material.Busch sets the bar for camera guide books; has tremendous insight and writing skills which you will appreciate if you sample other mass producing authors attempting to do 'quick and dirty' versions.
