Please can you explain the part about the "light filter" ~ what light filter 'setting' are you talking about???

There is no such setting mentioned in the manual....only Noise Filter is mentioned!

TIA

Olympus calls it an aperture setting, but it's not that. When you are zoomed out there are three aperture settings... F2, F2.8 and F8. F8 is really F2.8 + plus the light filter. The idea is to reduce very bright light to make it easier for the sensor...proverbial sunglasses so to speak. Although I am curious why they just don't use very fast shutter speeds for bright light. If you are on aperture priority you can set this manually (F8) or disable it manually (F2 or F2.8). Else, Olympus will set this for you.

Backscatter actually posted a video online where they used a high speed camera recording (from the outside) when the filter was being applied.
