How to Use This Book
The upcoming sections and chapters are best read with your camera in hand, ready for
configuration. There are literally hundreds of things that can be configured on this ad-
vanced, mirrorless interchangeable-lens compact (MILC) camera.
This chapter will give new E-M5II users a place to start. Later, as you progress through
the book, we’ll look at all the buttons, switches, dials, and menu settings in detail. You will
be able to fully master the operation of your E-M5II.
This book is a super user’s manual that goes way beyond the small manual that comes
with the camera. It covers not only how a certain function works (like the basic manual),
but also when it is best to use certain features and why the features are best configured
in particular ways. You will find a Settings Recommendation feature at the end of most
