Does the em5 mark 2 have constant preview?

My panasonic gx7 (and from my understanding the gh cameras since the gh2) have a feature called constant exposure preview. What this lets you do is have a live update of your exposure in MANUAL mode. Change the shutter speed, iso, or aperture and you see the effect in the evf of lightening or darkening the image and displaying the correct dof. I use manual mode alot on my gx7 with mostly manual glass. I consider this an invaluable feature for quick adjustments and street shooting in manual. I just read in a thread that the em1 apparently doesnt have any feature similar to this. Does the em5 mark 2?

I have been craving an em5 mark 2 to use olympus's long exposure features and a larger viewfinder in comparison to my gx7. The viewfinder in particular would be great for my use of the camera. It wont make my pictures better but it will be more pleasant to use. But the lack of a live exposure preview in manual mode would really bother me...

As a side note does focus peaking drastically drop the framerate on the em5 mark 2 like it does on the em1?
