just been down this path for taking selfies. compact cameras unlike dslr do not focus when the timmer goes off only when the shutter button is half pressed. you need a remote to take a selfie with a compact. I have the epl5 which has a selfie rear screen.

cheers don

The Oly PL7 goes into "selfie mode" when the screen is deployed below the camera body. Simply touch the screen (or touch the timer icon) and the picture is focused, and taken after a brief second or two delay. Very easy, no need to operate the rear or top camera controls at all.
