Oly E-PM2 + Lumix 14-45mm = OIS Stabilized Video?

Headed to Mexico (Cancun) this coming Saturday.

I have read discussions of using the Lumix lens-based O.I.S. for still photographs by flipping the OIS switch to On and setting the Lens IS Priority. Will this also apply to video video filming on the Oly E-PM2?

I may let my fiancee use that setup. I will be hauling along a DSLR (Tamron 18-400 + Canon SL2)

Thanks!

Also answered elsewhere, but will repeat the details......

Flip the OIS switch on and it disable IBIS automatically on the E-PM2, gives stabilised live view, stills and video.

The Lens IS Priority item is ONLY used for unswitched OIS lenses, that menu item is totally ignored by a switched OIS lens.

My page on E-PL5 rules apply to E-PM2 and all cameras after that.... http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~parsog/olyepl1/50-epl5-comments.html#stabilisation and the chart further down a bit shows all the possibilities with both switched and unswitched OIS lenses.
