Custom Mysets need custom labels

On Ricoh GXR cameras I always used their version of Mysets.  The reason being is that they could be labelled and your personal name for any set would be shown on the screen whenever it was invoked. Furthermore the text editor Rioch provided was set on a much higher technical plane than the “early mobile phone basic” multiple press system as offered by Panasonic which does not stretch to labelling mysets anyway as it surely could with just a little bit of effort.

Panasonic could give us a more sophisticated text editor and the ability to label Mysets quite easily.

Alternatively perhaps just a little more effort on my part would have me setting up some rigorous set up combinations for specific purposes and I would only have to memorise what custom mode each set would relate to.  I have tried but my efforts have been on an ad-hoc basis for a particular purpose and what that purpose was was forgotten within a couple of days.

By the way the cameras also provide an array of “Mysets” called custom and artistic modes and “hey” these are labelled.  But perhpas these are regarded as too twee and “mobile phone” for “really serious” camera users to mess with
