Should be NO

Does any M4/3 Panasonic have this mode other than the GF1? What about the GH4?

I can confirm that all of the MILCs I have (G1, GF3, GX1, GX7 GX85) do not have that mode under the Creative Control Mode. [Note: G1 was too old yet to have that Creative Control Mode]

According to the pdf manual of GH4, it doesn't have it. It seems that GF1 might be one of the rare model has that automatic mode.

As a matter of fact, we can have the same silhouette effect by shooting with P/S/A/M. e.g. in A, expose to the light source, use a narrow aperture (likely f/8 around), base ISO, and if the object is not dark enough, use EC (usually -ev) until you are happy with it...

Well use of the Live View we can keep most of those automatic preset shooting modes at bay.
