That's it: my Em1.2 is gone before I destroy it.

I know this is not a perfect solution, but a search function could be useful. It takes 30 seconds to type the keyword on the freaking touch screen, but it can still be much faster than digging into the menus.

The problem is not the menu. The problem is that people do not even know what they are searching in the first place!

That is the difference between GUI and CLI. Graphical User Interface and Command Line Interface.

The CLI was first, far easier to use but far more difficult to learn because you needed to perform searches. The GUI was huge leap as you got to see all your options without searching. You just read and what you saw is what you got.

Now if someone wants to adjust the first curtain shutter, from where does he need to start? What is the shutter? Does it have something to do with the memory card? Does it have something to do with EVF colors? Or how about exposure?

This one reminds me from the one rant while ago somewhere I read how someone couldn't find for 20 minutes how to format the memory card in E-M1. Explained how did he go through all the menus and just couldn't find it.

What is again funny as it is first thing you see in Olympus menu when you press MENU....

People don't read, they don't comprehend what they read when the content is not exactly worded as what they expect to see or they don't know what they are really suppose to do.

Menu > Card Setup > Format

Menu > Card Setup > Erase All

Now someone would ask "what does Erase All be different from the Format?" And they don't know unless they read the manual. They don't think what the setting they want has to do itself.

Second shutter curtain is function with the flash to time the flash triggered just before stopping the exposure instead at the begin of the exposure.

So if person doesn't even know what is the function of the second curtain shutter, they can't find anything as they don't even know what they are suppose to search.

So to set it, Super Control Panel / Live Control > Flash > 2nd Curtain.

Once you know what you want, it is much easier to use when you have logical structure of the settings to give commands.

But if you don't know what you are even searching for, you are just blindly going around places trying to hit your head on it.

And just like in this time. The OP didn't even know to use a Live Composite for this or at least Live Time. No need for any fancy flash triggers.
