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?

It is very easy to customize, and setting the dial operation should be the first thing to do with the camera. My G7 has a similar layout as G85, but I had not even realized there is a exposure compensation button! The default setup of the camera indeed can be a bit weird, and it is important to go through all the menus item by item in the beginning.
