This is new firmware, V1.2 (At least for the EM-1 II).

A tad too much pier for me too. Try cropping from where the left hand side of the path intersects the edge of the shot. OK, it puts the horizon almost in the centre, but to me it is a better composition. I like the contrast between the colourful sky and the smooth, calming hues of the sea.

OK but was the the profile produced using a test print from your individual printer? If not then you are using a generic profile. I don't know if Canon produce custom profiles but it be worth checking.

The one weak spot I can see is that if you are using the paper manufacturer's generic profile then see if they can produce a profile for your own printer. Permajet for instance do this and I found a difference on some of their papers. Incidentally I use a Pro 100.

The solution is simple. If you carry the beabag yourself then polystyrene beads is the way to go. However If your significant other half is with you and carries the beanbag then you really must have firm support so rice is nice.;) Please don't tell your SOH I said this.

Just a heads up that there is a firmware update available for the EM-1 MkII apparently designed to "improve the stability" of RAW files, whatever that means. Just updated mine successfully.

I suppose so, but a camera is a tool right? We take pride in our cars, but if we take them on the road then stone chips are inevitable. If you really want to keep your camera pristine for years and years, then leave it in your bag. As I suggested earlier, by using your camera you are more likely...

I've used a slide lite on my EM-1 since I bought it back in November. It has never been off the camera whether in or out of the bag and I have no issues. The buckles are very rounded so unless they are deliberately rubbed against the camera body, I feel they would be unlikely to cause damage...

I use the the Peak Design Slide Lite on my EM-1 MarkII attached solely by two tabs on the supplied tripod plate. It works really well for me with the advantage that I can use the plate on my tripod without having to detach the tabs.

Well I have yet to receive ant response to my reminder. Thet won't be getting a Christmas card this year.

I sent them a reminder several days ago but I've not even received the courtesy of an ackonowledgement.

I fully understand. I'm only a few years behind you and I am shedding brain cells at an alarming rate. I have to write down a shopping list of three items these days!

Phil V is talking sense. I'm not sure that you will learn much about photography from a "cheat sheet". If you are serious about the subject you need to gain an in depth knowledge of why you set up your camera in a certain way for your subject, conditions and intended shot. To merely use settings...
