Because at first the lighting trigger triggered and triggered with no lightning on it. So I was taken back since I know it works well. But for some reason just nothing. always too late. So I thought: may be the first curtain is sowehow activated....So where is it? Well: nowhere to be found for me. That is my main point: I should be able to find it quickly in some logical manner. May be I am not so logical, may be Oly is not so logical or both. Who knows....

I sympathise with your droll, non-offensive, comment on the Olympus menu system.

I tend to shudder a little when I realise that I need to adjust “something in there” and I am not sure where it is.  There is no doubt that Olympus menu system firmware needs a complete re-write and revision.  But unfortunately two things stand in the way - the easiest is the most expensive and complicated - a “back to taws” - complete start again to make it logical by basic design as I suspect that the underlying firmware has simply been added to in hap-hazard fashion since digital was a boy and the internal core of code might have become quite complex.  The second is much harder - those that have become used to it are going to be terribly confused by a new more logical system no matter how logical it has become.
