I don't see how Mysets would improve my workflow. Perhaps I'll learn something by reading other responses in this thread.

With my E-PL1 in early days, it had an awkward to use custom reset, only two of them, and that worked like MySets. But so awkward that I never used them.

The problem for me was in early days of E-PL1 I was always trying to help someone else on the forum and often set up my E-PL1 in some peculiar fashion to answer a question.

Next time go to use the camera and it's all wrong, darn, I forgot to reset myself back from the odd setup the night before.

So when the E-PL5 emerged with the ability to assign 4 MySets to the Mode dial so the camera was always in a known startup state I was rather happy. I seem to be still smiling the same way with my E-P5.

The new home-made dial tops remind me of the upper ISO limits of the A mode MySets. So my Mode Dial is now a P-A-S-M-Video-A-A-A-A dial.

Regards......... Guy
