Nice! Just got an EM-1 but haven't tried the automatic stacking yet. May I ask where the initial focus point was, that is, does the camera stack in both directions (near and far) from the initial point?

cheers,

I put the focus near the middle front and used a differential of 5 or 6. It does stack in both directions, I think more to the rear like normal DOF.

The setting for focus bracketing is in the second menu option down, little camera and a two, under bracketing.  Just make sure you right arrow to the end once you choose "Focus BKT" to find the options.
