When AF locks, the AF center AF point will turn green to indicate successful focus, or red if it fails.

Here you can see the E-5 recording video in Live View mode. The E-5 can capture HD (1280x720) or SD (640x480) Motion JPEG (.AVI) video with a fixed frame rate of 30fps. The maximum clip size is up to 2GB, due to the AVI format used. The built in speaker record Mono audio, however you can use external stereo microphones with the E-5 thanks to the Mic jack located on the side of the camera.

Instead of the usual Mode Dial, the E-5 uses a menu button in conjunction with the rear control dial to change the exposure mode. You can either look at the top Data Control display, or the screen above on the LCD to choose your Shooting mode. At the same time, you can alter the drive mode by rotating the front control dial.
