QUICK GUIDE E-M10 MARK III

Fireworks, stars and car lights at night have their 

very own charm. Longer exposure times create 

fascinating images full of light traces that are

only visible on photos. These are invisible to the 

human eye.

This kind of photography needs practice, because 

you only see the results afterwards. The various 

nightscape modes help you find the optimal settings 

for great images.

Tips

People and faces are probably the most common 

subjects of photos and everyone wants to look their 

best, which is why portrait photography is a very 

popular discipline. 

But great photos aren’t done by magic. The camera 

and lenses can contribute consistent contrasts, 

beautiful skin tones, a blurred background and focus 

on the face. This gives you more time to concentrate 

on the expression and composition.

Move the camera to eye level or slightly below. 

Compose the image using the image grid and the 

rule of thirds. It’s also good to take several pictures 

in a row.

Use a tripod or a solid surface and disable IS*. 

Focus on infinity and turn off the autofocus.

Trigger the shot using the OI Share app.

* Image Stabilization can be disabled by selecting S-IS Off in the SCP or in Shooting Menu 2
