Does Panasonic have the equivalent of the Oly super control panel with touch access from it? I see there's a Quick menu, but can't find any photos of it.

There is the customisable "Quick menu", which is excellent, and there is also a rear-screen display mode that is much like the Oly SCP (or a DSLR settings display). It has the snappy name "On-monitor recording information screen"

The Panny version shows all the key settings, and you can change them using touchscreen operation or buttons as you wish. (Press the Disp button to cycle trough the different rear screen display modes, until you reach it). See p314 of the G80/85 manual for an idea of what it looks like.

I prefer the Quick menu myself... it only appears when I press a button to bring it up... so I can't accidentally change any settings via the touchscreen.

(I have touchscreen disabled except in menus and settings ie. touch operations only possible if I press a button first...)
