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.

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.

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

Boo bloody hoo, doesn't anyone read anything in other threads

1. Has been fixed completely with firmware 1.1 for the lens, version 1.2 has also been released, so this is a non issue

2. RTFM.... and what feels like 100's of threads on dpr already. Should not have been a surprise

3. Also discussed in depth multiple times and they do not work together, OIS will override IBIS when turned on and for the most part is better
