Author’s Conclusion 

15

In figure 1.6, image 2, you can see the same odd graphic used in a menu item that con-

tains several more names. When I refer to the menu shown at the point of the red arrow in 
image 2, I will use: G. [Record Mode]/Color/WB.

Throughout the book, when you see a word in brackets as part of a menu name or func-

tion name, please remember that the word is used in place of the icon and represents the 
specific functionality that the icon is supposed to impart.

Author’s Conclusion

Now that we have completed some basic camera configuration and discussed the external 
controls on the E-M5II, let’s proceed into a detailed examination of the camera’s various 
control screens. Many of these screens have selections that are touch sensitive, allowing 
you to choose that setting either with a touch of your finger or by using the Arrow pad 
buttons and scrolling around.
