Help! Where’s my Starry Sky setting?

My Olympus OM-5III is supposed to have a Starry Sky setting, but I’ll be darned if I can find it in the Control Panel.
Can anyone help me access this feature? I’ve discovered lots of menu features in the past year of enjoying this “new” camera, but really want to try some night sky photography. I’m old, but not brain-dead yet, so please risk helping me with this. Please don’t just say “Read your manual!”

An advantage of having a pdf copy of the manual on your computer or phone is that you can use ctrl-F to search key words. I found several references to starry sky by just entering starry.

Here's the site: https://learnandsupport.getolympus.com/sites/default/files/media/files/2020/02/E-M1Mk3_ENU_00.pdf

Do you have the Olympus OMD 5 MkIII or the OM Systems M5? The OM Systems OM5 has Stary Sky but the Olympus OMD M5 MkIII does not. Manual for the OM Systems M5 is here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/2895040/Om-System-Om-5.html

I guess the first question is why do you think your OM-5III is supposed to have "starry sky"?

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your reply. Another UHH’r just replied that the OM-5III doesn’t have Starry Sky—the OM-5 does.
