[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7860226, member: 718"] A few suggestions for E-M10Mkii owners that are probably good for all other variants, although the position in the menu system may differ. If the cog menu display doesn’t show, you can switch it on in the spanner section of the menu. Or off of course should you lend your camera to someone who might mess about with your configuration. The cog menu is mainly for configurations that set the camera to how you like to use it, rather than settings you would commonly change while actually taking pictures. The latter should be set using the dials and buttons and the Super Control Panel, accessed by pressing the centre ‘OK’ button. There are two alternative views for this panel, accessed by pressing the OK button more than once. In cog J my favoured viewfinder style is 3 Further down the list in J is EVF Auto-switch, which after long use in ‘on’ I’ve decided is best switched to ‘off’. The viewfinder is easily switched manually between LCD and back using the switch on the right of it. The reason I prefer manual use if because when carrying on a strap, the auto setting stops the camera from sleeping to conserve the battery, because against the chest of leg it assumes the camera is in use due to proximity. You can also do this easier by long-pressing the viewfinder switch and selecting on or off. A short press toggles the screens. Hidden way down in the D cog menu, on the third page of D, are your battery-saver modes, as well as giving you the ability to choose peaking settings for manual focussing [I use red at high intensity]. For battery saving I set LCD to fade at 8 seconds. Camera to sleep at 3 minutes. To auto power-off at 30 minutes. With these setting you never need worry about leaving the camera switched on and, apart from after 30 minute shut-down, a half press of the shutter button wakes it instantly. After powering down automatically the camera is restarted by turning the main switch to off and back on. Set your intervals to suit yourself. While getting to know the camera, a longer interval is probably more suitable, otherwise it goes to sleep while head-scratching is going on. It took me a long time to figure out that the auto switching between screen and viewfinder was preventing the camera from sleeping while I was out shooting and quite a bit of thought to find the above settings. Especially the settings deep in cogD. [/QUOTE]
