Default Lost my Super Control Panel

I've just had my OMD for a short time and in playing around with the settings I seem to have lost access to the SCP Super Control Panel.

I am sure that it is something that I turned off, but I don't remember what that was and I have read the online manual and checked other web pages with settings, but have not figured it out.

If someone could point me to the correct menu, it would be most appreciated!

Menu D > Control Settings > [pick which mode you want to change, i.e. PASM] > Live SCP > On.

Default Found - Super Control Panel

Thanks D@ne,

Menu D > Control Settings > [pick which mode you want to change, i.e. PASM] > Live SCP > On.

I had looked at this setting, but I had both "Live Control" and "Live SCP" set to On and as a result I lost the Super Control Panel. I turned "Live Control" off and got the Super Control Panel back.
Thanked by slothead.

I believe if you leave both on, you can use the "Info" button to toggle between the two.

Thumbs up D@ne, You are correct

With "Live Control" and "Live SCP" both set to On - You can use the "Info" button to toggle between the two!

IMHO,
It's so frustrating that one of the BEST features of Olympus is non-existant within marketing and hard to find for the new user to the brand....

I'm actually having a similar problem, I've got Live SCP on, but it only shows on the screen, not the EVF, is it possible to have it displayed in the EVF?

Are you using an e-m5?

SCP doesn't show on EVF.

If you have the auto evf sensor turned off, press the button on the right side of the EVF hood.
