Panasonic 14-45 used on EPM2 ??

If I put my 14-45 on my EPM2 how should I set the Image Stabilization? How much better off will I be using it over the Oly kit lens?

In your EPM2 settings make sure "Lens Priority" is set to on.  This will automatically disable IBIS when Lens has stabilization that is on.  For long lenses its generally better to use lens IS as the sensor shift method is not as effective.  I generally just leave Lens priority but the only stabilized lens I have is the Panasonic 45-175 Power OIS.
