As a follow up to my previous reply, I just finished talking to Olympus Tech Support. Not sure if they were correct and they did not inspire my confidence but the tech said that for MFT lenses like the 40-150 F2.8, all of the points (1,9 or 81) are PDAF when in C-AF sequential mode.

I have never seen the 4/3 lens focus point array displayed for a native m4/3 lens. With that said, m4/3 lenses are supposed to use hybrid CDAF-PDAF in CAF mode, now capped at 9fps. I don't use CAF+tr so can't comment on the options there, but SAF uses CDAF only.

You see it in C-AF+H-seq while shooting. You get nice roundish area shown.

This is only displayed when using a 43 lens. Not when using m43 glass.

https://youtu.be/Ol-5ry8SQ8oo like that but not when focusing or using live view normally.

This video only demonstrates live view with 43 lenses.
