Re: Poll - MySets and Custom Modes, Oly & Pana

I use Mysets and C1, 2, 3 on all my Olympus cameras.

I generally shoot in A mode. C1 (or Myset 1) is set up similar to A mode, so that I can use A mode to tweak, settings during a given shoot, but quickly revert to my basic setup with a twist of the mode dial.

C2 is for C-AF, ISO 400, L continuous, etc, with the lever switch changing to tracking mode

C3 is my portrait/tripod mode, with face detect, etc and Portrait pic mode turned on (I usually shoot RAW anyway)

With the Mysets, the fourth mode is usually ISO auto for darker scenes.

For me, I am learning to switch around the C modes more often to try new things, but their main use is to return the camera to a known state for faster response.

It was faster to be able to assign the Mysets to a button on the E-M1, but I find that I prefer to try and keep button assignments the same so I don't get confused between my E-M1 and E-M1 MK II.
