Re: Because I know I set it once in the menu!

I have been waiting to chime in on this as i just bought my first Olympus, while i have owned several other brands before, including Panasonic thrice. Regarding logical menus, there is something to be said for grouping certain settings with their similar cousins.

I might put all lens related stuff in on menu section, all sensor related in another, ect. There are many ways to categorize it, but there should also be a clear rhyme to the reason when doing so. I don't think Olympus is the best at this.

For example they have the PIXEL COUNT setup, to set or change rez of the medium and small files, in the G cog, yet to actually select the picture profile you want to use (ie raw or raw+jpet), it's not even in the cog section, it's in CAMERA1 up top along with aspect ratio and jpeg PICTURE MODE.

Another example is they put the RC MODE (WL flash control) menu in the CAMERA2 section, when it should have bee added to the F COG section under flash CUSTOM where flash sync speed and SS limit is.

I mean it's not the worst and i will memorize it but it could be better.

"Step forward and meet a new sunrise, A coward is shivering inside
Today I'll be a friend of mine, Who swallows suffering with smile
I drew a different reality, With unconditional loyalty
Ego hardly can be piqued, 'Cause I'm selfless
Scale armour blaze, Virgin innocence
One being brings life, Another runs for death
No promises I ever give, Don't rely on me and I won't deceive
The beginning or the end you can't tell
When I wave my fin and shake my tail
I grew in different normality, With unblamable morality
Hooks and nets are there for me, But I'm skittish
Scale armour blaze, Virgin innocence
One being brings life, Another runs for death
Neptune's child shivering inside, Drowns in the liquid gold
Cherished his life to the underworld, Meet me flashing when winter cries
Pisces swimming through the river, All their life against the stream
Searching for a hook to catch on and see their sun beam
Then suffocate in painful tortures, On cutting tables of callous men
Under a knife of handsome butchers, Emeralds are ripped away..."
- Pisces
