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

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.

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.

Should be easy and clear.....

FRI13 -I just finished Darrell Young's very comprehensive book on the EM1.  He clearly states several times with photos that show the 37 point pattern, that it is only visible if you use FT lenses with the adapter and not MFT lenses.  I believe the MFT lenses use the same 37 points for PDAF and the remainder of the 81 points are CDAF, , but one never sees the 37 points distinctly as with FT lenses.
