The only correct designation is: M-IV:III

You forgot the option 'typical first world problem that I couldn't care less about.'

I wish I could do as you, but my DSLR gear seems far more reliable and durable to me in comparison with my Olympus. My E-M10 ii looks a bit fragile if you ask me. A very good-looking camera, but ...

Impressive shot. There is at least one guy here - I think his member name is vass - who can capture images of this class with his micro four thirds equipment.

Battery life is certainly a very good reason for holding on to your DSLR. My Olympus's battery lasta 2 days at a maximum before I have to recharge, whereas my DSLR's battery lasts 'for ages'. But ...

I shoot primarily with micro four thirds, but I am still sitting on three DSLRs and 7 DSLR lenses. Are there any rational grounds for using two systems when one system does everything you demand ...

That you can't the Fn button on a lens thorough the camera menu is another notable omission.

I am aware of the dumbing down issues; that you can't access the Fn button on the lens through mk iii menu is an unfortunate move. I might still get it as my secondary camera when the prices come ...

I am trying to track down the comments that I have read. This for instance was a comment to the e-m10 mark iii review: "Red72 Please help me. I have the Panasonic 25mm f1.7 and the Tamron 14-150mm ...

I have read some comments on dpreview and YouTube suggesting that the mark iii is not communicating with Sigma and Panasonic lenses. Could those who own the camera please share their experiences?

I guess that's how they did it in the old days.

Maybe someone could answer this question as well: for BIF of far away birds, can't you just lock the lens at infinity and fire away?

Yes, if you photograph people you need to be an extrovert; if getting a 'no' is humiliating or embarrassing to you, you have a severe handicap. I like shooting portraits, but I never ever shot a ...

OK, too late to withdraw my post so I will answer my own question: You can indeed deactivate the OIS of the lens in the Custom menu, category C.

Am I correct in concluding that there is no way to deactivate the OIS of the lens through Oly's menu system, i.e., you have to deactivate the IBIS and rely on the 45-150's OIS?

Doing so doesn't let me switch between spot, center-weighed, and multi-area metering.

Problably just as quick over the pop up menu with the OK button, tbh.

Thanks a lot for your detailed input. I really wanted to get the hang of the Olympus menu system as quickly as possible and think I can now control the camera to a degree that I am comfortable ...

Thanks for your efforts. Olympus really should include the comprehensive user manual with their cameras rather than the basic multilingual manual. The recourse to PDF when you have to browse back ...

I just got this camera and there are two functions that I would really like to assign to 2 of the 3 (4) function buttons: metering and the different AF modes. Is there a way to do that? I haven't ...
