the results and prints are absolutely stunning. My understanding is that, the E-M5 II can do Hi-Res with Focus Bracketing. And then, all I've got to do is feed the 64MP RAW converted TIFF files into Helicon and voila.

This is not my understanding. As far as I know you must focus bracket manually when using HighRes. Applies to both em5.2 and em1.2.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned by someone else in another post (haven't read all). Even more sorry if I am wrong!

No automatic focus, or any other bracketing, when in Hi-Res mode. As mentioned, you can do it all manually. In fact just last night I did some HR shots in a slot, with 5 manually adjusted focus points, by moving focus point with the direction pad and then autofocusing. Just let the tripod settle down a few seconds, then shoot. Worked like a champ.

I should clarify the above - no automatic focus bracketing; autofocus still works! Sorry for my poor wording.

hi res on the em52 is automatic incamera, and the em52 has auto focus bracket as well ,but you have to stack them on the computer.

But, the question is, will it do Hi Res AND focus bracketing at same time? I believe the answer is no, for any of the Olympus cameras that have both Hi Res and focus bracketing.

No. The camera cannot focus bracket high res shots. Consider that this operation is extremely intense due to massive file size and relatively low processor power compared to a modern computer. Perhaps in future it will happen but the capture process would need to be ideal, and very time comsuming.

There are two aspects: taking the shots, and stacking them. The stacking operation is going to be ridiculously compute-intensive with HiRes files. But it would be quite easy to automate the bracketed shooting. I'd be happy with just that. I don't mind doing it manually though - my macro lens is a Canon FD anyway.

Uh, yeah, when people say bracketing they usually refer to modes that just automate successive exposures... HDR or any sort of stacking would imply extra processing, but High Res bracketing wouldn't really require any more processing power, nor would it be any more time consuming than the alternative which is doing it manually.

Does the camera take a ten minute smoke break after a high res shot right now? No, it's done relatively quickly, bracketing would simply mean it takes successive high res shots back to back with different exposure parameters (and saves them individually, just like it does for other bracketing modes). It's just a mere act of automation.
