OTOH the Olympus EM1.2 has Pro Capture and Focus Stacking... which is only supported with select Olympus lenses. If you mount a Panasonic lens, they work but you won't get Pro Capture nor Focus Stacking functionality.

So, which will it be?

Well if you feel lucky, there is an unofficial firmware modification that enables focus stacking with all native AF focus lenses and removes the 29 minute 59 second video record limit on the E-m1 markII (and there are mods for some other Olympus cameras, removing the record limit).  I haven't tried it out personally.

And you can use the lightsnowdev site to restore the firmware to the Olympus version:
