I'm not sure if last firmware allows to do taht but I stopped using R lenses as the Olympus first class lenses as 7-14, 14-54 and 50-200mm are very, very, good ones. If noise is a important matter go for Canon and a adapter as you can use R lenses with a,let's say Canon 40D, with a wonderful abilility for low light pictures. Regards F?lix
