I own a EM5 II coupled with a M.Zuiko 2.8 Pro in a Meikon housing... as others with a similar setup know already, you have the big limitation of not being able to use the zoom while in the housing, so you're forced to decide in advance if you gonna take picture/videos in wide angle or zoomed... I was hoping for the Meikon to produce a case with a couple gear to use the zoom so much!
Until I discovered the obvious: you can actually use one of the M.Zuiko lens with the Electronic Zoom, normally you control the zoom with the same gear you would use for a mechanical zoom... but I wasn't aware that you can assign the zoom-in/out to a camera button as well! So you can use it with the arrow buttons.
For many here it was a well know thing... but I just discovered it now, and finally I can do wide/macro in a single dive, forgetting of the biggest limitation of my setup.
I'm posting here because there might be someone else with the same issue and the same "poor awareness" of me.
Note: you cannot switch the lens to "macro mode", since you have to physically push the gear, but still a very big advantage.
