I don't know if you have your E-PL5 set up for sequential shooting or single frame, Duha. If it is set to 'sequential' it is worth going to Menu 'Cog C' and checking the setting for 'Sequ + IS Off'. By default this is set to 'On' and this means that IBIS is switched off even if you take a single frame.the IBIS on my EPL5 on the Zuiko 75-300mm, is not as effective as with the OIS on the Lumix 100-300mm, but i have to admit that for video it can produce reasonably shake free recording.

I couldn't make out why I was getting so many blurred images with my E-M1 until I discovered that the setting was set to 'On', which was cancelling out IBIS. Since turning it off my keeper rate has improved considerably.

I am not really sure but I would guess at least 2 stops.Ron, how many stops of stabilization did you manage to get out of your EM-1 when properly enabled? Thanks!

Good for you.How many stops that is I do not know, but I do know that the E-M1 IBIS has made many a picture possible with that lens that would have otherwise gone straight into the trash.
I ...Tried it today with the Metabones/Canon 400 + 1.4x Extender III with IS set to 500mm, (and it works like a charm. Here hand held at 1/160th.
