Any pointers for settings on an Oly E-P3?

After falling so much in love with the Pen E-PL1 I bought three of them, one for me and a couple to give to my kids to get them addicted to photography, I finally yielded to the urge to upgrade, and bought what appears to be a very nice E-P3 on Ebay for the bargain price of $100.  The seller claimed he'd not used it since he upgraded to the E-P5, and was willing to pass it on.

As I understand the progression of Oly MFT cameras, the E-P3 was an evolution of the high end line of the Oly Pen series, and it's just a better and more refined version of my beloved E-PL1, with better construction, autofocus, and a touch screen.

I'd appreciate any pointers from people who use a E-P3 to help me get started on initial settings.  There is a page from somebody who is an Oly MFT addict that goes over all the different Oly offerings, and if someone would give me the link to that I'd very much appreciate that, too.

In less than a year's time, I've had a blast with my PL1 and taken over five thousand photographs.  I just love the colors and how it makes a self taught  amateur like me take better photos than I thought possible.

But everybody wants a better mousetrap, and I hope that's what I got with this new to me camera.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Thanks so much for the link to Guy Parson's page.  That  told me what I need to know.
