Are there any settings to control the SSWF Olympus uses to fling dust off the sensor? In my E-520 a button used to light up when it was running (briefly when I turned my camera off), I dont see any such light on the E-PL6 and I'm trying to make sure it is working since my E-520 used to make an audible noise when the SSWF was doing its thing and I dont hear any such noise from the E-PL6. At any rate, when changing lenses, there is an IR blocker in front of the sensor that protects the sensor from dust and moisture, isn't there?

If you watch the top edge of the LCD like a hawk when you turn the camera on, a little horizontal rectangle outline (in white) with about 3 stars jauntily overlaid on an upper corner will make a very brief appearance (I forget which side of the screen offhand!).  That's the SSWF indicator.
