I have both the Pen F and the E-M1ii. The Pen's AF is notably worse:

- Struggles in bad light

- Completely useless in CAF

However, in half decent light using SAF I find it to be very reliable with an almost 100% hit rate. If it shows lock, then it'll be in focus.

I'd be surprised if DOF is an issue if you were shooting from the rear of an auditorium. If it were me, I'd do some controlled testing with the pressure off to get to the bottom of it.
