Question :
Can I use the same battery or power battery holder as for the E-M1X and E-M1 Mark III?

Answer:
You cannot use the same battery and power battery holder as for the E-M1X and E-M1 Mark III with OM-1.

OM-1 is included with a new type rechargeable battery BLX-1 (2280mAh), having a larger battery capacity than the BLH-1 (1720mAh).
The BLH-1 that is included with E-M1X, E-M1 Mark III and E-M1 Mark II cannot be used with the OM-1 because its shape is different from the BLX-1.

The power battery holder HLD-10 is also a dedicated battery holder for OM-1 (compatible with BLX-1).

Difference between dedicated rechargeable batteries

Battery included with OM-1	Battery included with E-M1X and E-M1 Mark III
Lithium-ion rechargeable battery BLX-1 capacity: 2280mAh	Lithium-ion rechargeable battery BLH-1 capacity: 1720mAh

Question :
My camera is not auto-focusing when a M.ZUIKO PRO lens is attached. What should I do?

Answer:
Check the position of the focus ring if you are not able to take pictures in AF (autofocus) when a M.ZUIKO PRO lens is attached to the camera.

M.ZUIKO PRO lenses (except 8mm F1.8 Fisheye PRO, 12-45mm F4.0 PRO and 40-150mm F4 PRO lens) have a "manual focus clutch mechanism". You can switch the focus to manual focus by pulling the focus ring back toward the camera side.

When the focus ring is in the MF position, the camera is in MF (manual focus) mode and cannot shoot in AF (autofocus).
Push the focus ring toward the lens front, to the AF/MF position, for shooting in AF.



Check the focus mode setting in the camera when you cannot shoot in AF (autofocus) even after switching the focus ring to the AF/MF position. You cannot shoot in AF (autofocus) when the focus mode in the camera is set to MF (manual focus). Make sure the focus mode is set to a mode other than MF.

How to disable the manual focus clutch mechanism
The manual focus clutch mechanism for the focus ring can be disabled in the camera setting.

Press the [MENU] button. In AF, select 6.MF and then MF Clutch. Select Inoperative and press the [OK] button.
