MySet 1 – For general use
Feature | Setting | Rationale |
Metering | ESP | ESP is an intelligent matrix pattern – and each model improves on this smart scene assessment of exposure. |
Face Detect | Off | When pointing the camera at a crowds, the camera cannot know which face to give priority focus to. |
AF Points | Single. Centre | I like shooting shallow DOF for tele and I like to choose which subject is more important for wide views. |
Fn button assignment | Magnify | The E-PM2 does not have many Fn buttons to assign. So I use the only Fn button for LCD magnification when using manual focus lenses. |
