Controlling power zoom lens zooming speed on Olympus EPM2?

I have the Panasonic 45-175mm PZ lens but unlike the Panasonic bodies I could not find the setting to control the zoom speed?  The W-T button on the lens jumps in about 30-40mm increments which is too much and the barrell control can also be jumpy sometimes.  I don't know if this is by design but it jumps from 160mm to 175mm directly but allows more finer control ~5mm at the short end.

Are there any solutions to this?

Olympus has no electric zoom speed control.
