Get Lost in Nature, Not Your Manual.

You’re ready to explore all that your OM System Camera can do. But complex technology and the extensive menu can be frustrating and overwhelming. 

OM System cameras can do a lot, and the menus are deep. That is great once you know where everything lives, and frustrating while you are still learning. The OM Club walks you through your camera in full, so you can spend less time in the menu and more time photographing.

I've shot wildlife photography and videography with OM System (Olympus) since 2020, and the club is where I share how I set up and use the camera.

The OM Club will help you make photos you can be proud of while you immerse yourself in nature.

The OM Club contains a setup and walk-through guide for the OM-1 and OM-1 Mark II, other cameras with the "new" OM System menu can mostly be setup using this guide.

There is a full course on setup and walk-through of cameras with the "old" menu layout. I show the settings on an EM1X and EM1 Mark II, but other cameras with the "old" menu can also be set using this course.

New content within the OM Club will mostly cover settings for the new menu, but any member can request content for the older cameras if desired.
