If you’re shooting sports with the OM Systems OM-1 Mark II and want to dial in your camera for fast action, this video is for you. I’m Corinne Joye Votaw, professional sports photographer, and in this walkthrough I share the exact OM-1 Mark II settings I use in real-world sports environments—from outdoor fields to challenging indoor arenas.

Rather than copying someone else’s setup, these settings come from hands-on experimentation and years of shooting high-speed sports like hockey, soccer, and more. I’ll take you directly through the camera menu and explain why I choose each setting, so you can adapt them to your own shooting style.

In this video, you’ll learn:
My preferred RAW + 4:3 aspect ratio setup and why I love it
How I handle white balance for mixed and inconsistent arena lighting
Why Drive Mode and Pro Capture matter for peak-action moments
The picture profile I use when shooting sports
How I approach ISO limits, metering, and flicker considerations
A practical starting point for customizing your OM-1 Mark II

This isn’t a “perfect settings” video—there’s no such thing. Think of this as a solid foundation you can build on as you learn what works best for you.
