Thanks for that. My my, if I knew it was that convoluted, I may have passed on the purchase. Guy's pages appear to be good resources on the menus. This is what I was looking for in third party material. There few things more frustrating than trying to learn a complex tool by reading the provided directions.

To Lucifugus: It's highly configurable, and once you have it set up the way you like it, you really shouldn't have to confront the set-up complexity often, at all. Take the time to set it up and make it yours, and I think you'll be pleased.

Well, I guess it's time for new neural pathways - this is the stuff that keeps your brain young. Perhaps I will have to buy a new camera more often just to keep my brain young!

I have figured out how to easily adjust the ISO and a lot of other settings from the default LCD setting: hit OK and hold it for a second or two, to get the right margin menu, then arrow up and down, and hit OK after every step).

That seems overly complicated. I set ISO to my right arrow button (to the right of OK - caveat, E-M5). Press it once and the ISO settings come up. I can then change ISO by spinning the front wheel or using the right and left arrow buttons.

The only thing left for me to conquer is to adjust White Balance. The camera is insisting on Auto White Balance and I can't figure out how to move it from that in cases where I need to, but I will figure it out.

You could set this to the down arrow button. I use the down arrow button for quick access to my drive mode settings, but WB is another option that's available.

See page 90 of the English E-M10 manual for more info on how to customize these buttons.

Both White Balance and ISO can be controlled in the super control panel, as well. I generally keep the SCP cursor on whatever setting I think I'll need access to most often, given the conditions and subject I'm shooting (and which setting isn't already programmed to another button), and all I have to do is hit OK, then start spinning the front wheel to adjust that setting.
