Hi all

I just purchased the new Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV yesterday, and my primary need is to use it as a fancy web camera. The Mark I had the "record mode" in HDMI settings to remove the overlay from the HDMI settings, and you could long-press the Mark II and III info button to achieve the same thing. I obviously thought that they had just kept this functionality in the new version, but I just connected it to my computer, and the long-press on the info button does not remove the overlay. There is nothing in the manual that describes how to make this happen. With the USB charging, it seemed like the perfect upgrade to use as webcam/streaming camera, but now I'm afraid that Olympus has killed this functionality.

Does anyone know how to remove the overlay on the HDMI output of the new mark IV?

This seems to have actually happened in the mark III, long pressing INFO on MIII also does nothing. There are menu settings to remove all items on the mIII which does work for the LCD, but sadly in the same display mode the HDMI output still *does* show the battery level indicator.
