Thanks Guy. Can you explain this control dial problem people talk about when they mention the E-PL5? I assume the same issue exists with the E-PL6? Would it cause problems for someone who tends to change shutter speed and use exposure compensation a lot?

Over-rated complaint, see my just now post at http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/57092630

I was using the touch AF lcd (yes, it's working better now!) and I had some questions about it.  When I touch a specific part of the LCD a little green square appears for AF there and a scale at the right that is set to 10x and has other settings of 5x and 14x.  Is this the magnification scale for enlarging the AF point?  Also, I used the cursor keys on the rear wheel to move around the touch AF point and I counted a total of 41 movements horizontally and 23 vertically.  Are there really this many focus points in touch AF mode?  I thought the camera only had 35 AF points?  Also sometimes when I press the cursor keys on the wheel I get the regular big squares (35 AF points) to show up and sometimes I get these smaller squares (41x23) to show up- how do I get the camera to decide which ones to use?  Is there some way for me to get the camera to default at start up with the smaller squares (the 41x23 grid)?  Also can I get the squares to be even smaller and get even more than 41x23?

The other question I currently had is how many Custom WB settings can be saved?
