12-50 lens and switching between wide and macro

[Ardy]

Hi All - in looking at this set up of the OMD-EM5 camera it seems that if you set the function key to switch from wide to macro or vis versa, then the settings you have change ie you do not seem to be able to use Manual settings or adjust the auto settings.

Anyone experienced this and is there a workaround as it seems a nice function to have?

If you are talking about switching back and forth from one fish to three fish presets, you are correct. The presets have default settings. To return to your manual settings, move the mode dial off of M and back.

Using the macro switch on the lens does not change the settings.

Thanks a lot that works - bit strange though don't you think? It is a good feature half crippled by an assumption that nobody underwater knows how to set up their exposures..
