Question about Olympus settings (MF, IBIS and focus peaking)

Hi all,

I noticed something on my EP5:

When I am in MF mode.

If I turn the focus ring, the focus peaking turns on, and after a few seconds it's off again.

That's a little annoying so I set a fn button to toggle focus peaking. Ok, great, I can have focus peaking all time on now.

The issue is, when I half-press the shutter, focus peaking is turned off and IBIS is turned on (I can see its effect and I can hear it as well).

I'm not sure but as far as I remember the EM1 I had the same behaviour (it has been stolen last year that's why I use the EP5 that I have kept just in case as a spare), so I presume it's the normal behaviour of Olympus bodies.

Now I was thinking about buying an EM1.2, and I wanted to know if it has the same behaviour, and if yes, iif t's possible to change that (through options or custom buttons) in a way to have:

-focus peaking AND IBIS at the same time.
-focus peaking stays on when I half-press the shutter (focus peaking always on no matter what happens).

Thank you

Normal focus peaking on the E-M1.2 (I don't have it assigned to a button), works when I half press of the shutter and manually focus, it stays on briefly (about 1-1.5 seconds) and then goes off.

If I turn the focus ring again keeping the half press, it comes back on and then goes off after the same 1-1.5 second delay.  It does not come on/off when I move the camera, I must at least slightly move the focus ring.

IBIS is not related to focus peaking, since I have that turned on with half press and peaking comes on to confirm focus as I move the focus ring.
