Other cameras
Unfortunately, Olympus does not publish the methods of switching to PC mode for
every camera it produces. The collection of methods presented here was assembled
with the help of the users of different cameras. You also have to experiment, trying
methods similar to those described above. Most likely you will achieve success relatively
easily. Then, please share your experience. We would be glad to add the methods for the new cameras to this list.
