Walkthrough for E series

[BlueRob]

Is there a "walkthrough" or tips and hints guide for the Oly E series? I have read a couple of time the Users manual but some aspects aren't clear so far. BTW that user manual is little more than nothing for new users....there is not much explanation a bout stuff and where there is, its still some how poor IMO.

For example I haven't find out how to save some settings. Let say.....if I´m going to shoot two sets of portraits one "normal" and one "low key"...adjust ISO, contrast, color etc. for the normal shoot out, when done... can I save this preferred settings before altering them for the low key shoot out?
Ten days later when I want to shoot another portrait pic can I recall either the "normal" or low-key" personalized settings previously saved?
:mad2:

I know is not the best example but I hope it was clear

As far as I know, theres no way to save preferences.

Thanks Atomic...if what you say is correct I´m little disappointed. As a NewB I thought this type of feature would be on my starter SLR

I know of no manual either. There is a mode called "My Mode" that allows you to quickly load personal settings. I have never used it though but you might try it.

Thanks Greg...But now I`m lost...I think the e-420 has no MyMode function....can you confirm this.
Thanks

Yes it looks like you are right. I downloaded the manual and I don't see My Mode anywhere. But you have a ton of help here if you need it just ask as many questions as you like and we will help you through getting use to your camera.
