Page 85 of the E-P5 manual implies that the Fn button can be assigned to a MySet, or cycle through them. I've been unable to achieve this. Is this a mistake in the manual - anyone?

Hello Jim,

Fn button function can be changed via Cogs menu B, Button Function, where there is a list of available options. What you can't do is change the programmed function between Mysets - it will stay the same once set. If you save the setting to a Myset, it will be the same for all Mysets.

Applies to all button functions.

After saving to Myset(s), you can re-assign the function, effectively giving you 2 choices "on the fly" - one selected by the Myset selection, the other by pressing the Fn button manually.

This is a long standing limitation of Pen and OMD Mysets.

Hope this helps, Paul
