2. Take pictures with imager AF
You can focus on your subject as easily as compact digital cameras using IMAGER AF. Simply press the shutter button halfway to secure focus. The effect can be applied with all Four Thirds lenses.
You can also shoot with IMAGER AF while viewing an enlarged display on the LCD monitor. This function is useful for focusing on small subjects in close-up photography.
When attaching lenses compatible with high-speed IMAGER AF, the camera focuses on your subject more easily than when using normal imager AF.
