Works on my OM-D if I push the "OK" button while looking through the viewfinder.

Totally agree! I got through my E-PL1 (my first Olympus camera) without ever figuring out how to switch on the SCP. It wasn't until my E-PL2 that I finally figured out how to switch it on. If I had only discovered this forum sooner...

Try hitting the info button when the flash settings appear.

How about you share with the class so if we run into the same problem we'll know how to fix it?

Same as with every other Computer device. Those who construct them are too clever (or dumb) to realise that not everyone has their own knowledge etched into the brain. And most time they even dont understand that someone else does not understand.

Rant over

Luckily, we have the web with friendly and intelligent people like here in mu-43

Have to disagree slightly here - "some devices" are easier navigating through than others.

In this case, the Olympus SCP is quite challenging to find for both the newbie and some veteran users - the very existence of this thread illustrates this
