Olympus ep5, cannot edit images in camera

Thanks to all of you for the good advice I got! It really is like biggles wrote, if the size of the photo is 4:3 you can crop it, but not with the other sizes.

Yes, dumb me did not see the "cannot edit" message until I later switched to 3:2 to try a shot to be edited. I only saw what happened with 4:3 and in fact have never used in-camera edit at all for anything before.

I had not tried the other editing alternatives because I wanted to enlarge an insect that I intended to print with my Canon cp 800 dyesublimation printer.

Yup, have a bunch of those little beauties. Sadly Canon force you to buy a new printer each time Windows upgrades, Canon do not provide printer drivers forever for anything. Luckily the ribbons and paper work on all models.

I always use 3:2 for the workflow and to have the same frame size as with my SLRs. Also to fill the paper,10x15cm, that cp800 uses. I really recommend this printer, no ink that dries, easy use, supposedly long lifetime for the prints. I use this printer to now and then make prints for my albums to have something left when harddisks and computers have crashed.

When I was doing a lot of home printing I did the fade test to see how long prints would last. Forget the early dye inks, they fade in five minutes, especially if you do not use same brand paper with same brand ink. Pigment is better but oh the clog problems seemed to use up way more ink than actual printing.

The little Canon dye-sub (Selphy line) prints seem to last forever, I left one print half covered near a window for close to a year getting direct sun though the glass and the exposed part only changed a little, so the 100 years claim (if stored carefully in acid free album) would easily be achieved.

For my wife's family research efforts we scan the old faded shots, restore colours or the B&W or sepia look so they look fresh then reprint on the Canon to get another 100 years out of them. I use Qimage Ultimate for all printing and it does make a difference compared to most other edit programs print output.
