I’ve been using and really enjoying the Olympus E-P2 for the last month, and lately with the addition of the Canon and Nikon adapter rings the camera has become even better. The only problem I’ve had with using the Canon and Nikon lenses on the E-P2 is the lack of a way to ensure proper focus when composing my shots. While lately I’ve gone to the extent of even sitting down and reading the manual to figure out a better way of handling this and I’ve found it.
To achieve great focus with this camera with manual focus lenses you can get the LCD or the EVF to move into zoom mode where you get close up look at subject of your shot. This can be achieved by a few simple buttons on the back of the camera -
- Push the Info button until the green box comes up
- Push the “Ok” button this should move the screen to Zoom mode
- If you want to zoom in further you can turn the dial on the back to change zoom amounts
Hope this helps you out, leave a comment below let me know if you’ve picked up a micro 4/3 camera or plan to in the future.

Hi there,
Finally i found a happy user of the EP2.
How do find the pancake lens? enough for your indoor low lights shots?
Do you recommend any other lens for ep2?
I like my EP2, i’m trying to find adapter for nikon and canon lenses, but most of the stores here in Malaysia do not carry it. I wanted to get a decent zoom lens for my ep2, as i’m still stuck with the 17mm kit lens.May i know where did you get the adapters and whether they do shipping to malaysia.
Hope to see you to post more reviews on ep2.
thank you so much
Hey Stanley,
Glad that your liking the EP2 I’ve found mine to be a great tool to shoot with every day. For the adapters I’ve used so far I picked them up on Ebay so I don’t think they would have any problems shipping to Malaysia. I just grabbed this link for you on ebay Nikon Adapter I’ll keep trying ot get the E-P2 articles coming.
Thanks for visiting.

thank you for the tip you mention above!
wouldn’t it be great if that once you had zoomed in via the “ok button” you could toggle between the “normal” and the “zoomed” view by a half press of the shutter release
Hey Gary,
That would be a great way for Olympus to handle that type of setting but from everything I’ve seen so far it can’t do that today. If you are using the Olympus lenses when you move the focus ring it automatically zooms in for you which is nice but dosen’t help much on adapter lenses.
Thanks for visiting!
