1. on the E-M5 (not the Mark II) I shoot video in S-AF with manual touch up. I can refocus during the video by half pressing the shutter button or by tweaking the manual focus ring.

2. if you shoot your video in manual mode you can set a fixed ISO.

Thanks for your help.

I believe a lot of people shoot video video in Shutter or Aperture priority mode with a fixed ISO because they are controlling the lighting and they don’t want the noise to vary in the scene. Is there no way to do this with the EM5 MK II?

Personally I always shoot in shutter priority with Auto ISO so it works great for my needs. I just want to make sure I don’t tell everyone that it can’t be done if it can. I couldn’t find a way to do it with the EM5 MK II. However, it works great on my Panasonic cameras and that is what most people are accustomed to for video.
