Re: Olympus PEN E-PM2 anyone? (IMGs)

As you have already demonstrated, you can capture nice images with the E-PM2.

I use the Super Control Panel in P/A/S/M and the simplified settings in other modes.

I like the Portrait Scene mode for faces, and P or A for most other subjects. In P/A/S/M, I have Keep Warm Colors turned off. I always shoot RAW+JPEG so I can tweak my photos later.

For help focusing legacy lenses, I have assigned the Magnify function to the Record button.

I have not noticed any problem at all from IBIS or shutter shock. It may be because my camera's firmware is up to date.

The rear control wheel on my camera was hyper-sensitive. I sent it to Olympus for repair and it came back working perfectly.

I bought a used E-P5 when their prices came within my budget. If both cameras use the same settings for the same subject, I cannot tell any difference between the photos they produce. The one exception I have noticed is that in low light, the E-P5 is programmed to keep its shutter open longer, probably because of Olympus's faith in the E-P5's 5-axis IBIS, so its images in low light are a shade brighter. I think you could get a near-identical result on the E-PM2 by adding 1/3 stop of exposure compensation in low light.
