Got my GM1 "direct from Korea". First impression: thought I had been scammed... looked like a fake piece of plastic, too small and light to be a real camera? E-PM2 now seems like an overweight brick, even though the difference in spec is barely over 2 ounces (64 grams). Anyway, battery charged, it powers up, so I guess it's a real camera

The question... in A-mode, I somehow became stuck in Exposure Compensation mode, so that the dial controls EC rather than aperture. How do I get out of it? Tried every button and dial, nothing works.

Press the +/- on the rear wheel to toggle between exp comp and A or S depending on the mode you're in. When in Manual mode this will also toggle between S and A for you to change your settings.

Just expand a little on Mark's comment, press the +/- position of the rear wheel would switching between 1) EC and; 2) f/stop (in A mode), or Shutter speed  (in S mode) or Program shift (in P mode).

A general rule for all Panny's small bodies without an individual clickable rear wheel.
