I created the cheat sheet of the menu system of Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III camera. It’s unquestionable that the menu system of Olympus camera is one of the most complicated. It’s very difficult to find or customize each feature when you want to use it. Though no details on the description of each menu, this cheat sheet may come to your rescue when you want to search quickly for what you need without spending too much time.
To distinguish between menus, each main menu will have different colors. Each menu, sub menu and sub-sub menu will also have different font colors as well. If you use the mobile device, I highly recommend changing your screen from vertical to horizontal.
There are 5 main menus:
1. Shooting Menu 1 & 2
2. Video Menu
3. Playback Menu
4. Custom Menu
5. Setup Menu
6. My Menu

(Star)My Menu |
|
The reason for creating ‘My Menu’ is to add the target items of the menu in your customized menu instead of deep diving into the complicated menu system. Before using this menu, first you have to register the menu item by scrolling to the item you want to add it in your ‘My Menu’. Then press the movie button to save it in the (Star icon) submenu 1-5 and press Ok button. You can add 7 items in each (Star) submenu. |
