Been searching the web for an hour now, trying to find how to change the focus size on a E-P5..

I can change it on my E-PM2, so I'm sure the E-P5 can be changed too, right?!

If anybody knows, please let me know.

Do you mean the regular focus box as opposed to the Magnify box?

For all Olys ..... Press Left button - Press Info button - then Up/Down or dial to select a suitable box size and arrangement.

The later ones (E-PL5 onwards) have an optional small box that stays there at turnoff/on. Also E-M5 recently added this small box in a firmware update, earlier cameras have no small box apart for the usual Magnify box.

Touch LCD focus/shoot uses the Magnify box and not the regular AF box.

Thanks! My E-PM2, I just had to use the scroll wheel that has the 4 controls (exposure, flash, self timer, AF) with the OK button in the middle.

I just got the E-P5 yesterday, so I was trying to use the same place..

Anyways, thanks for the help!
