Sorry for my ignorance, but what is "auto focus pull"?

Pretty good explanation here.

Thanks for your reply.

I have ordered a GH5 for my work, and I now understand that the GH5 has this functionality too, so that is very useful, even though I was unaware of it at the time of ordering.

I will use this camera to monitor movements of human subjects in scientific experiments, so it is very helpful to be able to set some fixed focal points.

I will use a 12-40mm f2.8 Olympus lens, since this lens is already available at my work. Is it correct to assume that this lens will work well with the GH5 in terms of AF functionality, including auto focus pull?

The alternative is a 12-32mm f3.5-5.6 Panasonic lens that I have lying around, and though its sharpness is acceptable, I worry that it is a bit too slow for use inside.
