E-PM2 + PL 25 Video Performance

Hi all

What I mean by performance is in regards to the focusing motor(s). Is it loud enough to be heard during a video recording?

Also, because of the size of the E-PM2 will the auto-focus motor(s) of the PL 25 cause the camera to literally shake (or rattle) while filming?

Many thanks!!

Re: E-PM2 + PL 25 Video Performance

I have that combo and I have shot some video with it. I always use manual focus because if the AF starts hunting, this becomes awful to watch. Still, the AF is very silent and smooth. There's no trouble with shaking.

still, I seriously dislike the 15mbs video of the E-PM2.
