Of course I was reacting out of extreme frustration because the lighting show was great and I missed on after another great bolt....And so my anger vented here was just that: anger out of sheer frustration. But it seals the deal. I need to be able to find all the functions on my cam with ease. I am not saying any cam is better or worse here. I am saying that Oly menusystem for me just does not work at all. I just can't seem to find any logic in it...

But.... isn't it on the Quick Screen? To turn EFCS off, just turn off the Diamond next to the Rectangle? That's about 1 sec to find. I'm pretty sure I know the dozen or so quick menu items ... that's why they are there, to make things easy.

Yeah I did that. But was unsure since the cam seemed to be out of sync and missed a lot of lightning strikes as is proven by countless pics via the trigger that were black....So I wanted to look for a setting somewhere, just to check....and could not find it.

I am also irritated very much by the descriptions on screen with every item you click on...How do I get rid of that...etcetcetc.....

Press 'info' button while the menu is open. I don't think it could be easier nor more intuitive.

How about "do not display information"....Now it says (X) Info....Indicating that I need to click an X to get rid of the info. It is not so clear. It is also not so very handy when you have a touchscreen but cannot use it...That is new to me.

Again: I am not saying the cam is bad. It is not for me.
