I am fairly familiar with my EM-1 which I have owned for over a year now. I have read a number of other instructional manuals for other cameras over the years. After being one of the first people to purchase Darrell's "Mastering the Olympus OM-D EM-1" I have had some time to scan through a good portion of the book and focused on several specific things I wanted to learn more about - like HDR and IS settings for manual lenses. Without a doubt the information provided in this book will take me to a whole new level in understanding the myriad of capabilities of this awesome mirror-less camera. Darrell not only identifies "how" to navigate the various menu functions and operate the various buttons but he also explains "why" and provides recommendations for settings that might be most beneficial. The method of portraying all of this information is laid out in a very logical format that is easy to follow and understand in layman's terms. I bought the e-version PDF file so it is easy for me to search on specific things and keep clicking where the word pops up to capture everything about it. I pre-ordered the paperback version too.I am just scratching the surface for what I have had time to read but after scanning through it I'm very anxious to absorb as much of this as possible. I also ride motorcycles and have for years. I know all the mechanical and operational aspects of my motorcycles so I can enjoy my rides by paying attention to traffic and scenery without stumbling over the controls. I want to be able to operate my EM-1 just the same way so I can visualize and plan my pictures without fumbling around with the operation of the camera. I also own an EM-5 so a lot of what is included in this book will apply to the operation of that camera too.
