Re: Two dials and exposure compensation

In looking at the G-85, the camera's interface for P/A/S is setup more for a camera with single dial. The default interface uses either dial to set the main setting (program shift, aperture, shutter speed). To set exposure compensation, you have to press the exposure compensation button and rotate a dial.

Ah, that's annoying, I've got used to the Oly way of doing it with the front dial for exposure compensation. Can it be customised?

I've looked at the manual specifically on this point, and if there is a work-around I have not clearly identifed it. Different functions can be assigned to the buttons, but not the dial wheels so it seems. It does seem that the AE activation can be re-assigned from the +/- button (Fn1) to the button on top of the rear control wheel (Fn11); perhaps that allows faster operation and no need to stop looking through the EVF.
