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

Re: I did not get a book with my EM1.2.

I have a book on the camera which is specifically designed to unravel the Olympus E-M1 Mkll's labyrinthine menu system. https://amzn.to/2Liod0x for USA, https://amzn.to/2J5Y6xh for UK.

What I note with Panasonic v Olympus menus is that Panasonic's are written more logically, probably because of their wide experience with consumer goods like TVs. Consumers just won't wade through complex explanations.

Olympus manuals are written by their engineers who assume that because they know the cameras so well, so will the buyer. That's because they come from a photographic background.

Neither are right or wrong but Micro Four Thirds cameras are about as complex as cameras can get so while they can be made easier  to understand, they can never be made easy.

Except for my books, of course. Just 10 seconds speed reading and next day go out and shoot a National Geographic cover in the morning and a Rolling Stone cover in the afternoon. Must go now, the Advertising Standards Authority have a tank on my lawn
