I'm the opposite i've always had Panasonic cameras and find them easy to setup, my recent Olympus purchase was pretty daunting to setup how i like it.
I thought it would be that way, going on the style of the menus I'd seen in reviews, I think it's just how they word the options and the knock on effect of some. Like 'Direct focus area' - this one bugged me for a bit, it was driving me mad that the direction pad keys were not doing what they should. There was no clue that I had switched this on while flicking through the menu or that this was the solution, turn this off and your ISO/WB/AF return to normal on the pad. Also 'constant preview' I imagined was similar to Fuji's, where it would simply see the effects of exposure adjustments, I didn't know that it also literally showed exactly how the exposure should look, lag and all! When my EVF was lagging like crazy I had no clue as to what was causing it. Eventually it clicked, I just wish it didn't actually show lag when i want to do a long exposure hand-held, they should just have assumed we would know it'll blur if we're not steady?!
I do have it set up nicely now though, and I am starting to remember where all those important settings actually are without having to scroll through every single page to find them
