another great tip i only found in a review (not in the panasonic docs, natch!) was that you can hit the /disp/ button to page through the menu items--you don't have to scroll through those 8 'sections' of the longer category. just hit the /disp/ button 8 times and watch for your option to pop onto the screen in one of the 8 'pages'--after awhile you'll memorize the ones you change often and can go right to it is seconds.

Guys thanks for that tip.  I wish Panasonic would allow the display screens to be customized, I would love to simply select the 1 viewing screen I like + the Info Panel / super control panel.

I decided to drop the quick menu, and repurposed the Fn1 button.  I'm able to cover all the parameters I typically change with the combination of hard and soft Fn1 buttons.  However, it's nice to get an overview of all the settings, and I prefer the info panel layout (again probably because of my conditioning with Oly's super control panel)
