Somehow I am not able to apply mysets on the PM2.

In the PASM mode I go to the menu and store the current setting to myset1, e.g. A-mode with aperture f2. I also assigned the fn-button to myset1. Now I change the aperture to e.g. f4. I press the fn button and see "My1" and the stored aperture "f2" on the screen as long as I keep the fn button pressed. But as soon as I release the fn button the setting is back to the former "f4". Meaning the stored setting is not taken over.

Also if I go to the menu and want to take over the myset1 and confirm with "yes" then nothing is happening, meaning the stored setting is not used.

Saving the myset works (because I can see the values on the screen as long as I press the fn button), but it looks like the current setting is blocked for being overwritten by the mysets.

The manual doesn't give any indication that myset would not work in certain situations or settings. I guess I do exactly as the manual says but the mysets are never applied in my case.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Nothing Olympus designed it so the button has to be held down while pressing the shutter..In typical Olympus fashion they don't issue a firmware fix for it. Go figure. However you can assign the myset to the record button since it's programmable. It's more convenient to press it and hold while triggering the shutter. I just gave up using mysets on the EPM2. Mysets were an advertized feature but poorly implemented. It's things like this that make me wonder if Olympus really cares abut their reputation.
