Olympus Mirrorless Cameras Settings–the Live Super Control Panel

The Olympus Live Super Control Menu is very useful for the photographer who wants a dashboard that allows you to change settings. However, on the camera you have, it might be switched off as delivered.

Where to switch SCP on

Olympus cameras often have several Control Modes:

• iAuto
• P / A / S / M
• ART
• SCN

For each of those Control Modes, there are three alternative Quick Menus.

• Live Guide
• Live Control (reminiscent of the Point and Shoot Camera menus)
• Live SCP

You can make each one of the quick menus available or not. On the camera, press 

Setup > Menu > D. Disp / Sound / PC > Control Settings

See this blog article if you want to see the screen displays.

Once you have switched on SCP, you can then use it.
