Hello.

For the benefit of others i would like to note all the problems i found unfortunately by myself rather then anyone reporting it on YouTube.

1. EM1-II will not work in continues focus mode whenever the Lens range limiter switch is set to 5m-infinity. It will work OK when the range limiter is set to Infinity.

Lots of posts on this.  Don't use the lens focus limiter, the camera can set 3 different ones to the distances you want.  The camera one is much better than any lens implementation.

2. Pre Capture new feature highlighted so much by Olympus will also not work with Panasonic 100-400 lens. Thos options LPreCapture and HPreCapture will be left gray not allowing the user to select them. It will work only with Olympus lens as the 40-150 F2.8.

3. Not sure exactly how the IBIS and OIS work together , even that in general i had no notable issues.

Again several posts.  Some find the OIS has a problem with panning and recommend IBIS for moving wildlife, but the OIS for stationary images.  The two do not work together.

Will appreciate other adding their own experience with the EM1-I and Panasonic 100-400 combination.
