Olympus E-PM2 Turn off help text boxes?

Hi Guys,

I just picked up a bargain priced E-PM2 &, without success, I'm bouncing around the menus trying to figure out how to switch off those irritating help text messages that pop up every time you move to a new menu item.

Please point me in the right direction.

Regards & thanks,

Paul

When you're in the menu, press the info button once. This will toggle the descriptions on and off.
