First 2 Settings to change on the Olympus OM-1
Before I get into the settings and some details on the OM-1, this is a short video on the 2 settings that you should, or might, want to change first.
The first is a legacy default on all cameras. By default, the OM-1 will save your images in the JPG format which is not desirable for most, if not all.
This option is found on the camera menu 1 under the 1st option tab.
I would advise changing this to either raw only for people comfortable with processing raw files or raw+jpg for people not conversant with these formats.
Having the camera save files in their raw format will not only allow you to process those for a look that is closer to what you might desire, but it will also future-proof those images as the processing technology improves in the AI areas.
The second option is for the filenames in the wrench menu under the first tab as "File Name". I would advise new users to set this to "Auto" rather than reset unless you have a specific import process which allows the renaming of files to avoid overwriting the files.
In case you have 2 SD cards inserted, then, you might also want to change how the camera writes to the SD cards. This is in the wrench menu. I use the "Auto Switch" option. This option tells the camera to use the first SD card and then the second one once the first card is full.
