Can I ask two more questions.
Firstly when I try to change something. the screen disappears before I've got time to change anything. Can I get it to stay on longer?
Secondly the image playback just after I've taken it is dark and oversaturated, however the file when I view it on computer is perfect.
Is there a way to see it "correctly"?

I felt like that the first couple of days as well, and irritated with the whole ISO menu thing until I realized how good high ISO was and just decided to trust the auto ISO to get it right enough (which it has). But you get used to it pretty quickly. What I find now is I almost always just use the OVF in decent light and don't think about the other modes. In low light I'll usually use the EVF because it gains up quite well. And sometimes when I need to shoot from an odd angle I just lift camera from my face and use the LCD. I don't even really think about it any more and I'm a wily old vet of about two weeks with this camera now.
BUT, you seem to do a lot of very close work and for that, you're gonna have to switch to the EVF a lot more often and learn to use the macro mode quite a bit also. It works real well for close up work, but getting it into a mode that will focus close up and focus on the RIGHT part of the screen is not immediately intuitive. I rarely shoot so close I need the macro mode but I occasionally shoot close enough that I'll switch to EVF just to make sure I'm focusing on the right spot. And now that the manual focus seems to work so well with the updated firmware, I may just use that for close up stuff and avoid the AF and switching to macro mode altogether.
