I am using an Olympus E-P5 for macro photography with a Canon FD bellows and its 35 mm macro lens or a Lomo microscope lens, magnification x 3-7. I am getting the same sort of chromatic distortion on these as on Olympus lenses, like the 12-40 mm, used for normal photography.

The first question is: does the in body correction continue operating when using manual lenses, and perhaps over-correct?

There will be none. m4/3 lens corrections are hosted in the lens itself. IDK which TruePic the E-P5 has but if it's VII it should "play nice" with all the system lenses, Oly or Panny.

Second: Is there any way to add chromatic correction to processing of images from the manual setup?

Yes, in Lightroom for example you can create an adjustments preset to apply when you import your photos. Use the Develop module lens corrections to make the needed changes then save them as a preset to apply the next time you import.

Good luck!
