And it is quicker than the windoze file transfer. Reading/transferring the SD Card, pull the card and use the reader in your computer, use Workspace (WS) for the job as it will transfer all the relevant files. Olympus Workspace is now the program of choice. For all my other cameras, I literally have never used the USB cable.

I never use the USB cord, except that Oly makes me in order to update firmware. I've always used a card reader for all my cameras. Though using Olympus Viewer has one advantage: It remembers what files have not been transferred from the card and copies only those. in that horrible manual.īut I will certainly consider getting a card reader, as that sounds much simpler. But it is described - sort of - on page 79 ff. The other options for USB mode have to do with printing directly from the camera, I believe, and I don't think I will use that in the near future. Weird.Īnyway, after setting USB mode to 'Storage', whenever I plug the camera in and turn it on, it behaves like any other external data medium, and Windows automatically suggests suitable programs to start, among those Olympus Viewer 2. It's two and a half pages down in the *D submenu, and the UP arrow doesn't shortcut to it, as I would expect, but goes to *C. But what the OM-D does is not that complicated really - after I made a simple :-) setup change: 'On my Nikon, I just turn the camera on and a Nikon 'drive' shows up in Windows Explorer. But I like the cardreader option.Įn./wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol On my Nikon, I just turn the camera on and a Nikon 'drive' shows up in Windows Explorer. I was also able to download images in MTP selection. I rarely use the cable - the USB socket is rather more fragile than the card interface. Wow, frustrated with the extra complication of making one menu choice? Seriously? LebronPhoto edited this topic 18 months ago. Using the SD card Reader is also faster than connecting the cord to the camera, etc. With all of my cameras, I've only removed the cover to perform updates or to shoot tethered (in the case of my Nikon). That is why I use the SD reader (already built in to my laptop). The cover for the connection on most cameras is rubber and my feeling is that the more you use it, the less snug it gets. Personally, I never connect the camera to download images. Partly it's also because I had an already established and very simple workflow from using my Nikon. Got so frustrated with this extra complication (it may well be good for something, but what I don't know) that I bought a cheap SD card reader. Hopefully there will be a Magic Lantern guide on the OM-D in the future.

I just can't understand why the manual doesn't cover it. But I ended up using the 'Storage' option on the rear screen, and I was able to download my photos.

I haven't installed the Master 2 software yet. Have you installed the Olympus Master 2 software (or Adobe Lightroom, or some other image manager)? Also, I don't connect my camera directly to the PC, but instead I remove the SD card and use a card reader (one is built into my laptop) to read the data from the card.

Does anyone know what they mean? I'm assuming to download pics to my PC I choose 'Storage,' correct?

I've searched the manual (which is horrible), and the internet, but can't find any explanation for these options. But, When I connect the USB cable to my PC to download pics, the rear screen gives me 4 options: Storage, MTP, Print and Exit. Took some pictures and am blown away by the jpegs. I just brought home the Olympus OM-D E-M5 yesterday.
