Re: Get the Super Control Panel activated, Bobby

en, 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!

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.

Thank you for your help.

My problem is this: when I put the cursor on AWB icon on the SCP, I can't modify it no matter what I try. This is unlike any other icon on the SCP, I can always modify their settings once I have the yellow cursor on that icon on the SCP.

Your other suggestion was to use the procedure on p.90 of the manual. I have used this to set Fn1 to MF, and Fn2 to focus peaking. That leaves the dials to set. But they don't accept settings, they are still on the default of Image Compensation for the front dial, and aperture for the rear dial (which I find very convenient), but I still don't know how to modify AWB with either of your suggestions.

I did try to set the down button to AWB but it won't accept it, ir  just gives me a choice of "value" without telling me what it is a value of. It shows an up down value toggle and a side to side value toggle.

As in the John Prine song, "Dear Abby, Dear Abby," I am still "perplexed."  This truly is a menu system from hell.

But thanks for taking the time to try to render aid.
