Any idea where I can download Olympus Viewer 3?

Ridiculous that it does not come on CD with camera.

Found it searching Olympus site. Don't know why they don't put it on the E-M1 Mk II page.

Yeah, the downloadable PDF owner's manual is almost as hokey as the paperback one that comes with the camera.

Thanks Bobby!
As mentioned prior (somewhere) I'm lucky to have Poof who is versed in the menus---speaking of she's already moaned out loud about the loss of color coding for the menus. I told her it'd be back in a FW update.
Well you know me, I love many many cameras and all I got to do today was heft the rig (I put a 40-150/2.8) on and love the solid feeling.
I did bring it to work tonight, so if it slows mid-morning I'll start going through the menus for discovery. I'm def. glad you are out there to help with setting Bobby

Give this one a try, looks to be about the same size pdf as the one I have.

Great idea Bobby! Just downloaded to the Droid where I'd want it anyway. That's why you are Bobby Tan and I am not

Anyone, just to confirm. When in M, ISO auto I CANNOT change exposure compensation, correct? I can't on my GX8 either but I was hoping with this new Oly.

IIRC, this should be possible in the Mark II. I think I read that function can be assigned to a Fn button now.

Well, I just got mine. I drove through a blinding snowstorm to get it, so it better be worth it.
Battery needed to be charged so I haven't done anything except stick a lens on it and focus on the dog in near darkness in the house. ISO6400 1/40sec at f2.8. I was impressed it would focus.
I like the grip and I agree with other comments on the card door, it does seem flimsy. I have to update the firmware in the lenses first and then I'll be ready to test it out!

Just received mine today as well, good to see they are finally arriving.

Charging batteries...

The new E-M1 MKII feels quite nice in the hands.

Menu system seems fine to me, maybe improved over the E-M1.

The new add-on grip feels a lot nicer than the previous E-M1's version.

I think they've done a wonderful job so far.

I really like the shutter sound as well!

Now all I need is an RRS L bracket but they still haven't designed them yet.

Lots of testing planned for this weekend.

Page 68: "If you press the button while in M mode, you can change the shutter speed and aperture value with the dial or (trackpad)."

Looks like you do need to assign a button. But why not just use the exposure readout, and change shutter speed or aperture (without assigning a button), which you can do in one-third stops? Exp Comp only changes in half stops, no?

First shot outside with OMD M1ii + PL 100-400mm
Don't know where you Oly users are posting images so I won't imbed.
This before the Sun had crested the ridge.
Overall VERY impressed. Absolutely love the way this kit fits in hand.
