Yes, see page 88 of the Users Guide, downloadable from Olympus. You can assign the Red button (top right corner of the E-PM1 back, sometimes called the "Movie" button because that's its default function) to AEL, AFL, or AFL&AEL. The half-depressed shutter button can then be set for AF or AE depending on your wants First you assign AEL/AFL to the red button, then you need to tell it how to configure the AEL/AFL (e.g. Red button does AEL, shutter button (half press) does AFL, etc.). The red button can also be set to some other functions. You might also look into the four "MySet" custom settings options(pg 35) (it allows you save a group of preselected settings so you can quickly switch to those. The Red button can be programmed for one of your four Myset settings. Unfortunately (as far as I've been able to figure (not very far) you have to access the menus to switch it to a different MySet setting for the Red button to access. Hope this is helpful. E-PM1_Instruction_Manual_EN.pdf E-PM1_Instruction_Manual_EN.pdf is the name of the file if you have trouble finding it.

Yes, the flash is automatic. Overall this is an amazing camera, taking gorgeous pictures and crystal clear video.

It does have an auto setting that will allow you to point and shoot without making any adjustments. The camera is very user friendly and many of the pre-sets are perfect for varying conditions such as sunsets, the beach, indoors, etc. I've been very pleased with the camera and accessories that come with it and would recommend it to anyone stepping up from a standard point and shoot camera.

Yes it has the Nikon AE chip. If you read descriptions for other types of camera mounts, you will be confused.

No, it would be great if it had that option though. I haven't had any issues with the auto focus because the camera itself can easily be moved around.

Yes. However it does not allow use of automatic focus or aperture settings...you must manually focus and set aperture ... Aperture priority works, or use full manual exposure.

No this product does not come with an automatic shutter.....I had to purchase for around $45

Not one built in. Also the camera quality was not good enough for the code scanner I downloaded from the Play store. I think it is due to no "auto focus".

I don't believe so- it mainly locks for long exposures, fires the shutter, etc- I'd check with the manufacturer.

Yes there is. Set the exposure dial to "P". This is the programed (automatic) mode.

Have you tried using the AF/AE lock button located on top of the camera just behind the shutter release? I just got this camera myself so haven't explored all the features but that button is supposed to help you track moderately fast moving subjects.

It can auto focus at one point before recording as long as you use AF lens, but you have to manually focus after.

No Auto Focus just manual everything. Will with your camera just nothing Auto.

Yes it's fully automatic. It just doesn't "report" its presence to the body (so the camera will indeed try to AF).

Yes, the camera has a built-in automatic flash. It opens up when needed and you can also decide when you use it.

Yes there is a AE-L/AF-L button you can access with your thumb. It has two wheels to change you F-stop and shutter speeds too.

No it does not. You will need to set your camera to Aperture priority and then set the f/stop on the lens. Nor will it autofocus a lens. This is best used if you have an older fixed f/stop lens or are using a older macro lens.
