A nice set of tips, for me the light box was a good one but could you go over it in more detail. I tried to work out a work flow below, but it probably is not the best way, and what other things can you do from the light box view. Can you mark the right image for protection etc. All I could work out was how to add the deletion flag. From what I can see these are the steps 1) find an image you want to compare 2) go to light box view, the selected image with be in the left pane 3) use front dial or < > on D pad to scroll to the image you want to compare in the right panel 4) Use read dial to magnify both images at once 5) press Fn1 to get scroll arrows on right image 6) scroll the right image to where you want it to line up with left pane image 7) press Fn1 again to get scroll bars on the left pane as well 8) use left and right D pad buttons to scroll both images together To flag an image to delete, press "rec" button to tick the image on the right pane I could not see how to protect am image from the light box view

I never used the picture compare function. I do all my comparing, if necessary, at my computer. I frequently turn off the display, but only using the display flipping method. Actually, the DoF preview is one of the functions I use frequently on my camera. I didn't know the test shot function, and I haven't missed it at all so far. The diopter adjust function is a bit controversial to me. I do wear glasses, and if I have the diopter setting adjusted to my eyesight, I always need to take my glasses off before I look through the viewfinder. That is very cumbersome, so if I need to look through the EVF, I just do it with the glasses on without prior modifying the diopter. Since that is somewhat awkward to, I normally compose and focus via the display. For me, the EVF is only a backup for special circumstances.

I did that once by accident. BTW M5 Mk III got a very useful firmware update. When the LCD is fully opened (eg. on the left from the camera), eye sensor on EVF is disabled. 3. Depth of field preview I am oldschool photographer and my vintage Practica LTL 3 has similar feature. On M10 i even changed WB balance button to have this feature, on M5 Mk III Its perfect for portrait prime lenses with narrow DOF. 4. Test Picture I would not mind keeping the image, mainly if i do reports/party photography. I also keep histogram/EXIF data from the location in this manner, so i can just check the settings and use them in the future. 5. -1 diopter on my left eye, -3 on right :D

I am going to suggest that the Test Picture option is a terrible idea for one main reason. What happens if you take a test shot and for whatever reason the photo is just fantastic and can't be easily recreated (for example, photographing a baby and they make the most perfect face during the test shot or you catch your dog in mid bite as they try to grab a fly out of the air that was passing by or that weird thing happening in the background at the park). Now this perfect shot is just sitting there mocking you on the LCD screen. At best you can whip out your mobile phone and take a photo of the LCD screen. Heck, the shot doesn't even have to be remarkable or perfect. It might simply be "that is actually a good shot of what I wanted. Storage is cheap and most of us usually have 100s if not 1000s of photos worth of space on our SD cards at any given time. If you are really that hard up for storage, then simply take the shot to check your settings and then simply delete it afterwards if it isn't a keeper.

I don't think a beginner who starts out on photography and got a new camera, using auto mode would know or want to use back button focus. That is a little unrealistic to expect such implementation. If your focus stacking is greyed out, most likely the lens you used is not supported. Check Olympus website for lenses that are compatible with in camera focus stacking.

The iAuto setting is entirely superfluous once you figure out how to use the camera. Just go with *Program* if you really want both aperture and shutter speed set automatically. They are the same without the dumbing down of the other camera features. Even then, I almost never use P. A and S are just much more useful modes.

Hence, the "unpopular features" is the title. Rarely used. Am I missing something?
