Pen F users - some quick questions...

Hey gang...

I've always been a Pen user - love the format - so lately I've been getting stressed a bit when I found out that Olympus would no longer be making this line. So last week I purchased the Pen F at B&H. I already have the E-P5 and E-PL7.

Olympus has not abandoned PEN line. We just do not know is the E-P and PEN-F discontinued.

My questions are these - and I know they are simple and right in front of my eyes, but I can't seem to find the information:

1. I want to shoot in RAW only, but the only choices I have in the menu structure are either JPG or RAW & JPG. What am I missing here - no setting for RAW only?

No raw only (it is a raw without capitalization as it is not acronym) if you have a art knob in other than normal. So you need always get JPEG when using those modes.

2. I was messing around with the settings this morning and I had the IS enabled in the menu. I'm using the Panny 12-60 on my Pen F. After adjust settings to my liking (or so I thought), all of a sudden the ability for me to turn on the IS is now blanked out? I have the lens-based IS turned off since the 5 Axs version in the Pen F is better. What other setting(s) that I may have adjusted affects the ability to access IS settings?

You might need to go settings and disable lens I.S priority. As even when you disable that OIS, it doesn't allow to handle IBIS setting.

IIRC it is Menu > Custom Menu > C. release/IS > Lens I.S priority. And set it Off.

Thanking you in advance...
