and about lens , i am looking for olympus and 17 mm f1.8 and panasonic 20mm f1.7 mark ii . i know it has been discussed a lot in this forum , i use search button too , but most thread is from 2014 , what i really want to know , is it really difference between that two regard from sharpness ? and about uv problem , can it damage olympus body sensor ?

i need below 20mm focal lenght , but i do not know that to buy , i try 25mm and do not like it

A couple of ways to get that behavior. Look for live view boost, and turn it off. Also, you can assign  depth of field preview to a button, and stop down the aperture.

Or, you can assign simulated optical viewfinder to a button or the multifunction button.

On lens choice, look for the "lovely 17mm" thread just in the last day or so.

No idea about those lenses, but I had the same "issue" with my E-M10mkII that had live view boost on by default. Somewhere in the menu it's possible to turn it off.
