I’ve created a document that walks you through just the essentials for getting your camera setup for general shooting that covers the 80 – 90% I feel. It will get the camera to a point where you may never need to dive into the menu again unless you want to fine tune or adjust more advanced features. Obviously you are free to select other options or make adjustments as you go for your style of shooting and preferences.
This should make your view pretty straight forward with no weird options or settings interfering. It will also have all main shooting functions at your fingertips. You can adjust most settings from the Super Control Panel after that.

The file is a PDF that is easy to read steps. Should not take more than a few minutes to get through this from a factory fresh camera or a full reset. Let me know if this works for you.
My name is Tony. When I'm not writing for this site, i'm often creating images for clients, recording music, or out in nature. You can always bet I have my E-M1 next to me...
I have used your list on my new to me E-M1ii, it helps when you are new to a camera to have some basic settings to build from. Just need a numpty guide to the different video formats and how to quickly set up for slow motion video.
Thanks. Fred
