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.

Do you just need to be in AFC mode? I don't do the selfie thing but do use the timer occasionally - AFS on my GM1 focuses on the half-press (as designed) but AFC keeps focusing (again, as you'd expect).

just tried it doesn't work.
