Apparently there's a (button-cell?) battery in there that backs up the
camera config when you have the batteries out, but that appears to
have gone dead in my E550. Everything is reset to factory defaults
when I change the main batteries. Oddly, the manual makes no mention
of any backup battery for the settings. Is there a button cell
battery in there somewhere that is replaceable?

I have the E900, which I believe is similar.
I normally swap the batteries for a spare set when charging, but on
one occasion when I removed the batteries for charging overnight I
found that the camera had reset itself - the camera appears to have a
capacitor to maintain settings while batteries are removed, but that
only holds up for a few hours.
However if you find that settings are lost as soon as you remove the
batteries, that's probably a fault.
Brilliant cameras though, wish they still did something similar.
