How can I see and adjust (select) the focus squares when in the PDAF mode when using C-AF. I am using the 40-150 F2.8 which I assume supports PDAF mode and shooting ins C-AF, sequential mode

Just like in any other mode.

Choose ESP, 9-point, normal or small focus point and then move it where you want.

When you are shooting in H sequential mode with C-AF you can see on the screen the PDAF focus pattern.

Based on the above, Laslo is using a m43 lens. Your diagram appears to represent the E-M1 display as it appears with a 43 lens mounted.

Thanks Airmel.  Yes I don't think you have the option above with an m43 lens, but it is working in PDAF when in CAF, sequential .  By the way the 40-150 F2.8 pro  is working out very well.  Pictures are sharp at F2.8 and smaller aperture at 150mm.  The combination with the E-M1 is fast.
