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.

You see it with m4/3 after firmware 3.0. But as I said, only when you take images. Even the HDR and exposure bracketing modes shows that PDAF area when taking images.

Sounds like you are dreaming. Time to wake up.

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.

AS EXAMPLE! Really, so difficult to understand a example what kind roundish PDAF focus area you see when using a m4/3 and taking images with mentioned modes?

Anyone who has used the E-M1 with a 43 lens will be very familiar with the depiction of PDAF focus points. What you don't seem to realize is that this depiction is only present on the E-M1 when a 43 lens is mounted, not with m43 glass.

So if I provide you a video where E-M1 shows the PDAF sensor group with m4/3 objective (lets say 40-150Pro) mounted you say it is impossible?

No video please. But do provide a clear and concise list of camera settings and actions which will permit others to reproduce the behavior you claim to have observed.
