Lumix G7 Quick Menu?

Does anyone know if the G7 has a quick menu or like a super control panel like the other lumix and Olympus cameras have?

Yes it has both.

Lumix menus are reasonably consistent for these cameras.

Yes, it has the usual three Panasonic options for a model with an EVF and touchscreen - a touch-interactive data-only screen which is cycled to via the Disp button (this is like the Olympus Super Control Panel in a way, but doesn't allow itself to be combined with live view, you just use the EVF for that).  Then there is the standard Q Menu, which is a way of making the various icons and telltales along the top and bottom of the screen touch-sensitive so you can access their settings, and the customisable alternative, where you can build several screenfuls of icons to your taste which superimpose over the middle of live view and again are touch sensitive.

Helen and Hindesite before me answered your question.

I wish you should also know that the Q.Menu, also the fn keys (physical or soft), can have their own order and feature under the normal (P/S/A/M) shooting modes and each of the 3 C modes.

And Olympus is throwing all around on each model?
