Rear of Camera Controls
The rear of the E-420 is - apart from a few very minor design changes - identical to the E-410's. There are comparatively few external buttons resulting in a fairly clean layout although this means you're more dependent on using the on-screen menus for settings such as ISO sensitivity and White Balance.
