[OM] Fully manual control with E-1 and E-3

Hi all,
Coming briefly out of rare lurk mode to vet frustration at what seems to be 
incomplete or inadequate instructions for having total control in manual 
mode.

With the two planets close together (and a full moon) as they have been for 
the last 10 days or so I thought I'd grab a few shots myself.

My chosen lens was the Zuiko 300/4, and from data I added to previous 
shots using FastStone Image Viewer, what worked for me was ISO 320. 
aperture f/11, shutter speed 1/500.

With that in front of me I tried setting up the E-3. Try what I may, and 
following the manual, I was totally unable to set the shutter speed.
In mounting frustration I turned to the E-1, charged the battery, and followed 
the manual instructions.

With both cameras, where it explains which dial you turn to vary shutter 
speed, the shutter speed did not show anywhere, and I was thus unable to 
set it.
Total frustration. It's not important in the wider scheme of things that I do 
this 
but when it's possible, why not? I wondered if some function in the E-3 was 
corrupted; but when the E-1 did the same, I concluded that some vital 
instruction / system setting was just not being shown to b=me to follow.
Cheers, Brian
