the Super Control Panel or the Live View screen, the EVF will not display any image or in-
formation until the eye sensor detects your eye (typically when your face is about one and
a half inches from the eye cup). When the EVF brightens to show an image or information,
the monitor will go dark.
When the Super Control Panel is active you can bring the camera to your eye and use
the EVF to compose and take pictures. While the Live View screen is active you can use ei-
ther the Live View screen or the EVF to compose and take pictures.

If the Live View screen is active and you place your eye near the viewfinder, the E-M5II will
instantly switch the subject display to the EVF and turn off the Live View screen. When you
remove your eye from the EVF, the camera will immediately turn off the EVF and turn on
the Live View screen.
Settings Recommendation: If you prefer to compose your images with the viewfinder
and not hold the camera out at arm's length to compose with the Live View screen, you
may want to leave the Super Control Panel active to have quick access to its settings. To
use the Super Control Panel, press the OK button. However, if you like to compose with the
monitor (Live View), then you may want to leave the Live View screen active.
Enable the Custom Menu System
The camera includes a Custom Menu that initially may not be displayed on your E-M5II
camera. The Custom Menu is composed of over 100 items that you can use to customize
how your camera works.
If the Custom Menu does not show up in the list of menus, you will have to enable the
menu so you can use it to adjust the camera's Custom functions.
If you press the MENU button and can count five menu icons on the left side of the screen,
including one icon that looks like a couple of small gears, your camera's Custom Menu is
already enabled. If you see only four menus on the left, use the following steps to enable
the very important Custom Menu system:
